Detailed Description

The MCUXpresso SDK provides a driver for the Multi-Rate Timer (MRT) of MCUXpresso SDK devices.

Function groups

The MRT driver supports operating the module as a time counter.

Initialization and deinitialization

The function MRT_Init() initializes the MRT with specified configurations. The function MRT_GetDefaultConfig() gets the default configurations. The initialization function configures the MRT operating mode.

The function MRT_Deinit() stops the MRT timers and disables the module clock.

Timer period Operations

The function MRT_UpdateTimerPeriod() is used to update the timer period in units of count. The new value is immediately loaded or will be loaded at the end of the current time interval.

The function MRT_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. The user can call the utility macros provided in fsl_common.h to convert to microseconds or milliseconds

Start and Stop timer operations

The function MRT_StartTimer() starts the timer counting. After calling this function, the timer loads the period value, counts down to 0 and depending on the timer mode it either loads the respective start value again or stop. When the timer reaches 0, it generates a trigger pulse and sets the timeout interrupt flag.

The function MRT_StopTimer() stops the timer counting.

Get and release channel

These functions can be used to reserve and release a channel. The function MRT_GetIdleChannel() finds the available channel. This function returns the lowest available channel number. The function MRT_ReleaseChannel() release the channel when the timer is using the multi-task mode. In multi-task mode, the INUSE flags allow more control over when MRT channels are released for further use.

Status

Provides functions to get and clear the PIT status.

Interrupt

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

Typical use case

MRT tick example

Updates the MRT period and toggles an LED periodically. Refer to the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/mrt

Data Structure Documentation

struct mrt_config_t

This structure holds the configuration settings for the MRT peripheral. To initialize this structure to reasonable defaults, call the MRT_GetDefaultConfig() function and pass a pointer to your config structure instance.

The config struct can be made const so it resides in flash

bool	enableMultiTask
	true: Timers run in multi-task mode; false: Timers run in hardware status mode

void MRT_UpdateTimerPeriod	(	MRT_Type *	base,
		mrt_chnl_t	channel,

Parameters

base	Multi-Rate timer peripheral base address
channel	Timer channel number
count	Timer period in units of ticks
immediateLoad	true: Load the new value immediately into the TIMER register; false: Load the new value at the end of current timer interval

static uint32_t MRT_GetCurrentTimerCount	(	MRT_Type *	base,
		mrt_chnl_t	channel

inlinestatic

This function returns the real-time timer counting value, in a range from 0 to a timer period.

Note: User can call the utility macros provided in fsl_common.h to convert ticks to usec or msec

Parameters

base	Multi-Rate timer peripheral base address
