Detailed Description

Pulse Counter (PCNT) Peripheral API.

This module contains functions to control the PCNT peripheral of Silicon Labs 32-bit MCUs and SoCs. The PCNT decodes incoming pulses. The module has a quadrature mode which may be used to decode the speed and direction of a mechanical shaft.

Function Documentation

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t PCNT_CounterGet ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt)

Get pulse counter value.

Default config for PCNT init structure.

Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
Returns
Current pulse counter value.

Definition at line 385 of file em_pcnt.h.

References PCNT_TypeDef::CNT.

void PCNT_CounterReset ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt)

Reset PCNT counters and TOP register.

Note
Notice that special SYNCBUSY handling is not applicable for the RSTEN bit of the control register, so we don't need to wait for it when only modifying RSTEN. (It would mean undefined wait time if clocked by external clock.) The SYNCBUSY bit will however be set, leading to a synchronization in the LF domain, with in reality no changes.
Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.

References _PCNT_CTRL_RSTEN_SHIFT, BUS_RegBitWrite(), and PCNT_TypeDef::CTRL.

__STATIC_INLINE void PCNT_CounterSet ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt,
uint32_t  count 
)

Set counter value.

The pulse counter is disabled while changing counter value, and reenabled (if originally enabled) when counter value has been set.

Note
This function will stall until synchronization to low frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when using an external clock to clock the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined in that case. The counter should normally only be set when operating in (or about to enable) pcntModeOvsSingle mode.
Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]countValue to set in counter register.

Definition at line 431 of file em_pcnt.h.

References PCNT_CounterTopSet(), and PCNT_TypeDef::TOP.

void PCNT_CounterTopSet ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt,
uint32_t  count,
uint32_t  top 
)

Set counter and top values.

The pulse counter is disabled while changing these values, and reenabled (if originally enabled) when values have been set.

Note
This function will stall until synchronization to low frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when using an external clock to clock the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined in that case. The counter should normally only be set when operating in (or about to enable) pcntModeOvsSingle mode.
Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]countValue to set in counter register.
[in]topValue to set in top register.

void PCNT_Enable ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt,
PCNT_Mode_TypeDef  mode 
)

Set PCNT operational mode.

Notice that this function does not do any configuration. Setting operational mode is normally only required after initialization is done, and if not done as part of initialization. Or if requiring to disable/reenable pulse counter.

Note
This function may stall until synchronization to low frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when using an external clock to clock the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined in that case.
Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]modeOperational mode to use for PCNT.

void PCNT_FreezeEnable ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt,
bool  enable 
)

PCNT register synchronization freeze control.

Some PCNT registers require synchronization into the low frequency (LF) domain. The freeze feature allows for several such registers to be modified before passing them to the LF domain simultaneously (which takes place when the freeze mode is disabled).

Note
When enabling freeze mode, this function will wait for all current ongoing PCNT synchronization to LF domain to complete (Normally synchronization will not be in progress.) However for this reason, when using freeze mode, modifications of registers requiring LF synchronization should be done within one freeze enable/disable block to avoid unecessary stalling.
Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]enable
  • true - enable freeze, modified registers are not propagated to the LF domain
  • false - disables freeze, modified registers are propagated to LF domain

References PCNT_TypeDef::FREEZE, PCNT_FREEZE_REGFREEZE, and PCNT_TypeDef::SYNCBUSY.

void PCNT_Init ( PCNT_TypeDef pcnt,
const PCNT_Init_TypeDef init 
)

Init pulse counter.

This function will configure the pulse counter. The clock selection is configured as follows, depending on operational mode:

Notice that the LFACLK must be enabled in all modes, since some basic setup is done with this clock even if external pin clock usage mode is chosen. The pulse counter clock for the selected instance must also be enabled prior to init.

Notice that pins used by the PCNT module must be properly configured by the user explicitly through setting the ROUTE register, in order for the PCNT to work as intended.

Writing to CNT will not occur in external clock modes (EXTCLKQUAD and EXTCLKSINGLE) because the external clock rate is unknown. The user should handle it manually depending on the application

TOPB is written for all modes but in external clock mode it will take 3 external clock cycles to sync to TOP

Note
Initializing requires synchronization into the low frequency domain. This may cause some delay.
Parameters
[in]pcntPointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
[in]initPointer to initialization structure used to initialize.

Note
The event bits are not cleared by the use of this function.
Parameters
