Hello,

I want to generate two PWM signals from one timer. I have tried to use Timer0, but nothing happens.
I use the LPC1114 Xpressoboard. I have attached my code.

LPC_TMR16B0->TCR = 0; //Disable Timer0
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL |= (1<<7); // System AHB clock control enable clock to timer 0 : 3.5.14
LPC_TMR16B0->EMR = (1<<0)|(1<<1)|(1<<3)|(1<<5)|(1<<7)|(1<<10); // Setup the external match register (1<<0 : EM0 connected to pin) : 18.7.10 External Match Register
// 1<<5 : Set the corresponding External Match bit/output to 1
// 1<<10 : Clear the corresponding External Match bit/output to 0 (CT16Bn_MATm pin is LOW if pinned out : (1<<3).

LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8 &= ~0x07; // Clears the FUNC bits : 8.4.23 IOCON_PIO0_8
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_8 |= 0x02; // Selects function CT16B0_MAT0. PIO0_8/MISO0/CT16B0_MAT0
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_9 &= ~0x07; // Clears the FUNC bits : 8.4.24 IOCON_PIO0_9
LPC_IOCON->PIO0_9 |= 0x02; // Selects function CT16B0_MAT1. PIO0_9/MOSI0/CT16B0_MAT1
// These are compared against the TC ( Timer Counter )
LPC_TMR16B0->MR3 = 1000; // Setup the match registers
LPC_TMR16B0->MR0 = 500; // Match Register 0 - stay low
LPC_TMR16B0->MR1 = 500;
LPC_TMR16B0->MCR = 1<<10; // OK : Match Control Register : 1<<10 = Reset on MR3
// If needed : 1<<9 = Interrupt on MR3: an interrupt is generated when MR3 matches the value in the TC.
LPC_TMR16B0->PWMC = 0b1011; // OK : PWM Control Register to enable the selected PWMs
// 0x01 : PWM mode is enabled for CT16Bn_MAT0
// 0x02 : PWM mode is enabled for CT16Bn_MAT1
// 0x08 : PWM mode is enabled for match channel 3

NVIC_EnableIRQ(TIMER_16_0_IRQn); // Enable the TIMER1 Interrupt
LPC_TMR16B0->TCR = 1; // Enable Timer16
Both GPIO0_8 and GPIO0_9 are high all the time.

If someone could see where it goes wrong i would be happy

Thank you

UM10398 should describe CT16B0, what's not clear there?

Hello again,

Thank you very much for the help.
I found my mistake which was as you suggested somewhere else in my code. There was some code that put PIO_8 and PIO_9 as regular outputs, that was why nothing happened.
One more question, is it possible to generate three PWM with CT16B0?

Regards

Another thing. What is your system clock frequency...

48MHz

...and where is that set-up in your code?

Nowhere

It's a Standard LPCXpresso project with CMSIS. So cr_startup_lpc11.c (in project->src folder) is using:
...
#ifdef __USE_CMSIS
  [COLOR=RoyalBlue]  SystemInit();[/COLOR]
#endif
...
This SystemInit() is part of CMSIS and can be found in system_LPC11xx.c of CMSISv2p00_LPC11xx/src (via F3 = 'Open declaration'):

/**
 * Initialize the system
 *
 * @param  none
 * @return none
 *
 * @brief  Setup the microcontroller system.
 *         Initialize the System.
 */
[COLOR=RoyalBlue]void SystemInit (void)[/COLOR]

  uint32_t i;
  LPC_SYSCON->PDRUNCFG     &= ~(1 << 5);          /* Power-up System Osc      */
  LPC_SYSCON->SYSOSCCTRL    = SYSOSCCTRL_Val;

  LPC_SYSCON->UARTCLKDIV    = UARTCLKDIV_Val;
  LPC_SYSCON->SSP1CLKDIV    = SSP1CLKDIV_Val;
#endif
There's also your SYSAHBCLKCTRL setup

OK excellent. As you say there must be a problem in my project somewhere.
Thank you for the help, I will look into it.

As you have guessed I am quite new to the LPC world ;-)

Exact. Wasn't that the purpose?

Included in a Standard LPCXpresso LPC1114 project (48MHz) it's working fine here

I've changed:
LPC_TMR16B0->MR3 = 1000;
to
LPC_TMR16B0->MR3 = 1000[COLOR=Red] -1[/COLOR];
to get a nice 48kHz signal and my scope is confirming this...

OK thanks I will check it out and be back.
You are right about posting the complete code....:-)

Your code looks correct. Probably that's a 'project error' (Therefore it's useful to post complete projects).

My first guess would be a forgotten IOCON bit in SYSAHBCLKCTRL.
