How to use STM32 timers in interrupt mode?
im a long way from an expert but printf is a big beast of a function with its own peripheral controls and timings - you cant use it for this kind of thing. if i wanted to test the granularity of various timers, id do a simple pin toggle and measure those with either a scope, or the frequency counter on a multi meter.

STM32 Not waking up from Stop-Mode
Shot in the dark here, but I had trouble a while back with a micro that I didn't have an external 32.768 oscillator hooked up to. It would go into the lowest power state, but it needed that low speed external oscillator because it shut off its own clock in that lowest power mode. Wondering if you're missing some bootstrap component like that and the system doesn't have a way to continue functioning in stop mode. Like I said, just a shot in the dark. More on reddit.com

STM32: Interrupt from timer
Can you set up a normal timer to do this? Just set the clock divider to something high and have it configure an interrupt. Honestly, you probably already have the 1mS system timer going off all the time since it's configured by Cube by default. Since it only takes a few instructions to check how much time has gone by, you'll get similar power performance if you just check if 1S had elapsed in your main loop and if not, call __WFI(); the system timer will wake you up constantly but it'll go back to sleep so fast that the duty cycle is very low.

Getting Started with STM32 - Timers and Timer Interrupts
For now, I’d like to focus on using a timer to measure time between events (i.e. measure execution time) as well as triggering basic interrupts. ... How fast do timers run? Well, that depends on how fast you tell them to run. All timers require a clock of some sort. Most will be connected to the microcontroller’s main CPU clock (others, like real time clocks, have their own clock sources). A timer will tick (increment by one) each time it receives a clock pulse. In this demo, we will be using an STM32 Nucleo-L476RG, which has a default main clock (HCLK) of 80 MHz.

The timer overflow interrupt in STM32 HAL is called HAL_TIM_PeriodElapsedCallback(). It has a __weak attribute, meaning if we write our own function with the same name and arguments, the compiler will use the new one instead. So just copy this function's definition and put it anywhere you like in main.c, for this example it just prints hello world:

STM32 Timer Interrupt: Configuration and Implementation
October 13, 2025 - Before configuring the STM32 Timer Interrupt, I would like to dive into its underlying mechanisms. However, if you are seeking just the implementation of the interrupt, you can skip this part and directly go to the next part of the article. The image below is a screenshot of the reference manual which illustrates the working principle of the timer. In this example, the auto-reload value is equal to 36, and the Timer’s mode is upcounting.

In this example, we are just going to use the TIM3 to generate a delay of 1 second. When it reached a 1-second delay, it will trigger the interrupt. So, we are going to toggle the onboard LED in every 1-second delay.

GitHub - khoih-prog/STM32_TimerInterrupt: This library enables you to use Interrupt from Hardware Timers on an STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1-based board. These STM32F/L/H/G/WB/MP1 Hardware Timers, using Interrupt, still work even if other functions are blocking. Moreover, they are much more precise (certainly depending on clock frequency accuracy) than other software timers using millis() or micros(). That's mandatory if you need to measure some data requiring better accuracy. It now supports 16 ISR-based Timers, whi
January 29, 2023 - In general, across the STM32 microcontrollers families, the timer peripherals that have the same name also have the same features set, but there are a few exceptions. For example, the TIM1 timer peripheral is shared across the STM32F1 Series, STM32F2 Series and STM32F4 Series, but for the specific case of STM32F30x microcontrollers family, the TIM1 timer peripheral features a bit richer features set than the TIM1 present in the other families.

Unlike most other MCUs in which timers usually count incrementally, STM32 timers can count up, down or center-aligned(TIM6 and TIM7 in STM32RCT6 only support up-counting mode). As the above figure shows, the counter increases/decreases its value by one(depends on the counter mode) at each clock tick. Once the counter overflow(reach zero or auto-reload(ARR) value), it generates an update event(interrupt), set the counter as zero or the ARR value and continue to the next period.

r/stm32 on Reddit: How to use STM32 timers in interrupt mode?
April 22, 2022 -

I have the following code:

#include "stm32f407xx.h" 
#define TIM2_IRQNO 28  

void TIM2_IRQHandler(void) {     
    printf("tick\n"); 
}  

int main() {
    TIM_PeriClockControl(TIM2, ENABLE);	        //enable system clock on timer

    TIM2->PSC = 168;                            //set prescaler
    TIM2->ARR = 1000;                           //set frequency to 1kHz

    TIM2->CR1 |= (1 << TIM_CR1_URS);            //update enable (after overflow)
    TIM2->EGR |= (1 << 0);                      //update generation
    TIM2->DIER |= (1 << 0);                     //update interrupt enabled

    TIM2->CR1 |= 1 << TIM_CR1_CEN;              //enable timer

    uint32_t *pISER1 = (uint32_t *)0xE000E100;  //NVIC_ISER base addr (or ..104?)
    *pISER1 |= ( 1 << (TIM2_IRQNO % 32) );      //enable NVIC for TIM2

    for(;;);                                    //main loop
}

I have an STM32F407VG microcontroller. It features a 168MHz clock. Whith the prescaler I bring down it's speed to 1MHz on the peripherals and I further decrease the timers speed to 1kHz with the help of the ARR Auto Reload register.

Not sure about EGR and DIER registers, but have seen others use them in their implementations.

After enabling the timer I try to enable the interrupt on the timer using the base address of the ISER register of the NVIC. It should probably end in 104, not 100, but with 104 I managed to print nothing, while using 100 I could print the "tick" text, but uncontrollably fast.

What I would expect form this code is to call the TIM2_IRQHandler after every millisecond (1 tick of the timer with the given PSC and ARR configuration). What am I doing wrong?
