Overview

The KSDK provides a driver for the Low-Power Timer (LPTMR) of Kinetis devices.

Function groups

The LPTMR driver supports operating the module as a time counter or as a pulse counter.

Initialization and deinitialization

The function LPTMR_Init() initializes the LPTMR with specified configurations. The function LPTMR_GetDefaultConfig() gets the default configurations. The initialization function configures the LPTMR for timer or pulse counter mode mode. It also sets up the LPTMR's free running mode operation and clock source.

The function LPTMR_DeInit() disables the LPTMR module and gate the module clock.

Timer period Operations

The function LPTMR_SetTimerPeriod() sets the timer period in units of count. Timers counts from 0 till it equals the count value set here.

The function LPTMR_GetCurrentTimerCount() reads the current timer counting value. This function returns the real-time timer counting value, in a range from 0 to a timer period.

The timer period operation functions takes the count value in ticks. User can call the utility macros provided in fsl_common.h to convert to microseconds or milliseconds

Start and Stop timer operations

The function LPTMR_StartTimer() starts the timer counting. After calling this function, the timer counts up to the count value set earlier via the LPTMR_SetPeriod() function. Each time the timer reaches count value and then increments, it generates a trigger pulse and sets the timeout interrupt flag. An interrupt is also triggered if the timer interrupt is enabled.

The function LPTMR_StopTimer() stops the timer counting and resets the timer's counter register

Status

Provides functions to get and clear the LPTMR status.

Interrupt

Provides functions to enable/disable LPTMR interrupts and get current enabled interrupts.

Typical use case

LPTMR tick example

Updates the LPTMR period and toggles an LED periodically.

int main(void)
{
    uint32_t currentCounter = 0U;
    lptmr_config_t lptmrConfig;
    LED_INIT();
    /* Board pin, clock, debug console init */
    BOARD_InitHardware();
    /* Configure LPTMR */
    LPTMR_GetDefaultConfig(&lptmrConfig);
    /* Initialize the LPTMR */
    LPTMR_Init(LPTMR0, &lptmrConfig);
    /* Set timer period */
    LPTMR_SetTimerPeriod(LPTMR0, USEC_TO_COUNT(1000000U, LPTMR_SOURCE_CLOCK));
    /* Enable timer interrupt */
    LPTMR_EnableInterrupts(LPTMR0, kLPTMR_TimerInterruptEnable);
    /* Enable at the NVIC */
    EnableIRQ(LPTMR0_IRQn);
    PRINTF("Low Power Timer Example\r\n");
    /* Start counting */
    LPTMR_StartTimer(LPTMR0);
    while (1)
    {
        if (currentCounter != lptmrCounter)
        {
            currentCounter = lptmrCounter;
            PRINTF("LPTMR interrupt No.%d \r\n", currentCounter);
        }
    }
}
