SCTimer Falling Edge Event Not Consistently Firing

use — Fri, 19 Jan 2018 20:12:00 GMT

I am currently attempting to use the SCTimer on the LPC54606 to measure pulse widths. The state registers are configured so that when a rising edge occurs, the state moves to 1. When in state 1, a falling edge event is allowed. This event lowers the state back to 0 and triggers an interrupt where I grab the counter data and reset it. This seems to work about 80% of the time but it is occasionally missing the falling edge and so the state remains in state 1. Even with slow pulses (0.5 ms on, 0.5 ms off) it is missing edges and the event doesn't fire. Has anybody else experienced this?

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products and 

the opportunity to serve you.

I was wondering if you can share the demo code which can replicate the phenomenon.

Have a great day,
TIC

I am using the high counter for the edge detection counter and the low (currently unused) for PWM generation.

sctimer_event_callback_t sctimer_callback_table = { SCT_Detection_Callback };

void PulseDetection_Init(void)
{

sctimer_config_t sctimerInfo;

   SCTIMER_GetDefaultConfig(&sctimerInfo);
   sctimerInfo.enableCounterUnify = FALSE;
   SCTIMER_Init(SCT0, &sctimerInfo);

INPUTMUX->SCT0_INMUX[2] = 0x2; //GPIO0_2

   uint32_t risingEdge_Event;
   uint32_t fallingEdge_Event;
   //Create an event for rising edge //kSCTIMER_InputLowEvent kSCTIMER_InputFallEvent
   SCTIMER_CreateAndScheduleEvent(SCT0,kSCTIMER_InputRiseEvent,0,2,kSCTIMER_Counter_H,&risingEdge_Event);
   SCTIMER_CreateAndScheduleEvent(SCT0,kSCTIMER_InputFallEvent,0,2,kSCTIMER_Counter_H,&fallingEdge_Event);

   //Start counter when Rising Edge occurs
   SCTIMER_SetupCounterStartAction(SCT0,kSCTIMER_Counter_H,risingEdge_Event);
   SCTIMER_SetupNextStateAction(SCT0,1,risingEdge_Event); //not working as expected

   //HALT counter when falling edge occurs
   SCTIMER_SetupCounterHaltAction(SCT0,kSCTIMER_Counter_H,fallingEdge_Event);

   //Set callback for interrupt
   SCTIMER_SetCallback(SCT0, sctimer_callback_table, fallingEdge_Event);

   SCTIMER_EnableInterrupts(SCT0,1<<fallingEdge_Event);
   NVIC_SetPriority(SCT0_IRQn, IRQ_PRIORITY_CTIMER);

SCT0->EVENT[risingEdge_Event].CTRL |= 0x0000C010; //set state to 1 after this event occurs and HEVENT to 1
SCT0->EVENT[fallingEdge_Event].CTRL |= 0x00004010; //set state to 0 after this event occurs

NVIC_EnableIRQ(SCT0_IRQn);

   //SCTIMER_StartTimer(SCT0,kSCTIMER_Counter_H);

   SCT0->EVENT[risingEdge_Event].STATE = 0x00000001; //enable rising egde in state 0
   SCT0->EVENT[fallingEdge_Event].STATE = 0x00000002; //enable falling edge in state 1

   uint32_t CTRL_Enable_Event = SCT0->CTRL;

CTRL_Enable_Event &= (~(SCT_CTRL_HALT_H_MASK) ); //clear halt H bit
CTRL_Enable_Event |= SCT_CTRL_STOP_H_MASK; //set stop H bit

SCT0->CTRL = CTRL_Enable_Event; //Write both changes at once

SCT0->CTRL |= (1<<19);//clear counter
}

void SCT_Detection_Callback(void)
{

widths[count++] = (SCT0->COUNT) >> 16; //add width value to array

   SCT0->CTRL |= (1<<19);//clear counter

   uint32_t CTRL_Enable_Event = SCT0->CTRL;
   CTRL_Enable_Event &= (~(SCT_CTRL_HALT_H_MASK) ); //clear halt H bit
   CTRL_Enable_Event |= SCT_CTRL_STOP_H_MASK; //set stop H bit
   SCT0->CTRL = CTRL_Enable_Event; //Write both changes at once
}

Hi use,

In my honest, your coding style will make some troubles for you in future and it takes me some time to figure it out.

And I've simplified your code which is illustrated below, please giving it a try.
