7.1.2.1 Low-EMI Output Buffers

The low-EMI output buffer has been designed explicitly to address the issue of decoupling sources of emissions from the pins which they drive. This is accomplished by adaptively controlling the output buffer impedance, and is particularly effective with capacitive loads.

This is not the default mode of operation of the low-EMI output buffers and must be enabled by setting the system module GPCR1 register for the desired module or signal, as shown in Table 7-4. The adaptive impedance control circuit monitors the DC bias point of the output signal. The buffer internally generates two reference levels, VREFLOW and VREFHIGH, which are set to approximately 10% and 90% of VCCIO, respectively.

Once the output buffer has driven the output to a low level, if the output voltage is below VREFLOW, then the impedance of the output buffer will increase to Hi-Z. A high degree of decoupling between the internal ground bus and the output pin will occur with capacitive loads, or any load in which no current is flowing, for example, the buffer is driving low on a resistive path to ground. Current loads on the buffer which try to pull the output voltage above VREFLOW will be opposed by the impedance of the output buffer so as to maintain the output voltage at or below VREFLOW.

Conversely, once the output buffer has driven the output to a high level, if the output voltage is above VREFHIGH then the output buffer impedance will again increase to Hi-Z. A high degree of decoupling between internal power bus ad output pin will occur with capacitive loads or any loads in which no current is flowing, for example, buffer is driving high on a resistive path to VCCIO. Current loads on the buffer which try to pull the output voltage below VREFHIGH will be opposed by the output buffer impedance so as to maintain the output voltage at or above VREFHIGH.

The bandwidth of the control circuitry is relatively low, so that the output buffer in adaptive impedance control mode cannot respond to high-frequency noise coupling into the power buses of the buffer. In this manner, internal bus noise approaching 20% peak-to-peak of VCCIO can be rejected.

Unlike standard output buffers which clamp to the rails, an output buffer in impedance control mode will allow a positive current load to pull the output voltage up to VCCIO + 0.6V without opposition. Also, a negative current load will pull the output voltage down to VSSIO – 0.6V without opposition. This is not an issue because the actual clamp current capability is always greater than the IOH / IOL specifications.

The low-EMI output buffers are automatically configured to be in the standard buffer mode when the device enters a low-power mode.

7.2.1 ePWM Clocking and Reset

Each ePWM module has a clock enable (EPWMxENCLK). When SYS_nRST is active-low, the clock enables are ignored and the ePWM logic is clocked so that it can reset to a proper state. When SYS_nRST goes in-active high, the state of clock enable is respected.

Table 7-5 ePWMx Clock Enable Control

ePWM MODULE INSTANCE CONTROL REGISTER TO
ENABLE CLOCK		 DEFAULT VALUE
ePWM1 PINMMR37[8] 1
ePWM2 PINMMR37[16] 1
ePWM3 PINMMR37[24] 1
ePWM4 PINMMR38[0] 1
ePWM5 PINMMR38[8] 1
ePWM6 PINMMR38[16] 1
ePWM7 PINMMR38[24] 1

The default value of the control registers to enable the clocks to the ePWMx modules is 1. This means that the VCLK4 clock connections to the ePWMx modules are enabled by default. The application can choose to gate off the VCLK4 clock to any ePWMx module individually by clearing the respective control register bit.

7.2.2 Synchronization of ePWMx Time-Base Counters

A time-base synchronization scheme connects all of the ePWM modules on a device. Each ePWM module has a synchronization input (EPWMxSYNCI) and a synchronization output (EPWMxSYNCO). The input synchronization for the first instance (ePWM1) comes from an external pin. Figure 7-3 shows the synchronization connections for all the ePWMx modules. Each ePWM module can be configured to use or ignore the synchronization input. For more information, see the ePWM chapter in the device-specific Technical Reference Manual (TRM).

7.2.3 Synchronizing all ePWM Modules to the N2HET1 Module Time Base

The connection between the N2HET1_LOOP_SYNC and SYNCI input of ePWM1 module is implemented as shown in Figure 7-5.

RM44L920 RM44L520 sychonizing_tpwmx_n2het_spns225.gif Figure 7-5 Synchronizing Time Bases Between N2HET1, N2HET2 and ePWMx Modules

7.2.4 Phase-Locking the Time-Base Clocks of Multiple ePWM Modules

The TBCLKSYNC bit can be used to globally synchronize the time-base clocks of all enabled ePWM modules on a device. This bit is implemented as PINMMR37 register bit 1.

When TBCLKSYNC = 0, the time-base clock of all ePWM modules is stopped. This is the default condition.

When TBCLKSYNC = 1, all ePWM time-base clocks are started with the rising edge of TBCLK aligned.

For perfectly synchronized TBCLKs, the prescaler bits in the TBCTL register of each ePWM module must be set identically. The proper procedure for enabling the ePWM clocks is as follows:

  1. Enable the individual ePWM module clocks (if disable) using the control registers shown in Table 7-5.
  2. Configure TBCLKSYNC = 0. This will stop the time-base clock within any enabled ePWM module.
  3. Configure the prescaler values and desired ePWM modes.
  4. Configure TBCLKSYNC = 1.

7.2.5 ePWM Synchronization with External Devices

The output sync from the ePWM1 module is also exported to a device output terminal so that multiple devices can be synchronized together. The signal pulse is stretched by eight VCLK4 cycles before being exported on the terminal as the EPWM1SYNCO signal.

7.2.6 ePWM Trip Zones

7.2.6.1 Trip Zones TZ1n, TZ2n, TZ3n

These three trip zone inputs are driven by external circuits and are connected to device-level inputs. These signals are either connected asynchronously to the ePWMx trip zone inputs, or double-synchronized with VCLK4, or double-synchronized and then filtered with a 6-cycle VCLK4-based counter before connecting to the ePWMx (see Figure 7-4). By default, the trip zone inputs are asynchronously connected to the ePWMx modules.

7.2.6.2 Trip Zone TZ4n

This trip zone input is dedicated to eQEPx error indications. There are two eQEP modules on this device. Each eQEP module indicates a phase error by driving its EQEPxERR output High. The following control registers allow the application to configure the trip zone input (TZ4n) to each ePWMx module based on the requirements of the application.

7.2.6.3 Trip Zone TZ5n

This trip zone input is dedicated to a clock failure on the device. That is, this trip zone input is asserted whenever an oscillator failure or a PLL slip is detected on the device. The application can use this trip zone input for each ePWMx module to prevent the external system from going out of control when the device clocks are not within expected range (system running at limp clock).

The oscillator failure and PLL slip signals used for this trip zone input are taken from the status flags in the system module. These level signals are set until cleared by the application.

7.2.6.4 Trip Zone TZ6n

This trip zone input to the ePWMx modules is dedicated to a debug mode entry of the CPU. If enabled, the user can force the PWM outputs to a known state when the emulator stops the CPU. This prevents the external system from going out of control when the CPU is stopped.

7.2.7 Triggering of ADC Start of Conversion Using ePWMx SOCA and SOCB Outputs

A special scheme is implemented to select the actual signal used for triggering the start of conversion on the two ADCs on this device. This scheme is defined in Section 7.5.2.3.

7.3.1 Clock Enable Control for eCAPx Modules

Each of the eCAPx modules have a clock enable (ECAPxENCLK). These signals must be generated from a device-level control register. When SYS_nRST is active-low, the clock enables are ignored and the ECAPx logic is clocked so that it can reset to a proper state. When SYS_nRST goes in-active high, the state of clock enable is respected.

Table 7-11 eCAPx Clock Enable Control

eCAP MODULE INSTANCE CONTROL REGISTER TO
ENABLE CLOCK		 DEFAULT VALUE

eCAP3 PINMMR39[16] 1
eCAP4 PINMMR39[24] 1
eCAP5 PINMMR40[0] 1
eCAP6 PINMMR40[8] 1

The default value of the control registers to enable the clocks to the eCAPx modules is 1. This means that the VCLK4 clock connections to the eCAPx modules are enabled by default. The application can choose to gate off the VCLK4 clock to any eCAPx module individually by clearing the respective control register bit.

7.3.2 PWM Output Capability of eCAPx

When not used in capture mode, each of the eCAPx modules can be used as a single-channel PWM output. This is called the Auxiliary PWM (APWM) mode of operation of the eCAPx modules. For more information, see the eCAP module chapter of the device-specific TRM.

7.3.3 Input Connection to eCAPx Modules

The input connection to each of the eCAPx modules can be selected between a double-VCLK4-synchronized input or a double-VCLK4-synchronized and filtered input, as shown in Table 7-12.

7.4.1 Clock Enable Control for eQEPx Modules

Device-level control registers are implemented to generate the EQEPxENCLK signals. When SYS_nRST is active-low, the clock enables are ignored and the eQEPx logic is clocked so that it can reset to a proper state. When SYS_nRST goes in-active high, the state of clock enable is respected.

The default value of the control registers to enable the clocks to the eQEPx modules is 1 (see Table 7-15). This means that the VCLK4 clock connections to the eQEPx modules are enabled by default. The application can choose to gate off the VCLK4 clock to any eQEPx module individually by clearing the respective control register bit.

7.4.2 Using eQEPx Phase Error to Trip ePWMx Outputs

The eQEP module sets the EQEPERR signal output whenever a phase error is detected in its inputs EQEPxA and EQEPxB. This error signal from both the eQEP modules is input to the connection selection multiplexer. This multiplexer is defined in Table 7-7. As shown in Figure 7-3, the output of this selection multiplexer is inverted and connected to the TZ4n trip-zone input of all EPWMx modules. This connection allows the application to define the response of each ePWMx module on a phase error indicated by the eQEP modules.

7.4.3 Input Connections to eQEPx Modules

The input connections to each of the eQEP modules can be selected between a double-VCLK4-synchronized input or a double-VCLK4-synchronized and filtered input, as shown in Table 7-16.

7.5 12-Bit Multibuffered Analog-to-Digital Converter (MibADC)

The MibADC has a separate power bus for its analog circuitry that enhances the Analog-to-Digital (A-to-D) performance by preventing digital switching noise on the logic circuitry which could be present on VSS and VCC from coupling into the A-to-D analog stage. All A-to-D specifications are given with respect to ADREFLO, unless otherwise noted.

NOTE

If ADEVT, N2HET1, or GIOB is used as a trigger source, the connection to the MibADC1 module trigger input is made from the output side of the input buffer. This way, a trigger condition can be generated either by configuring the function as output onto the pad (through the mux control), or by driving the function from an external trigger source as input. If the mux control module is used to select different functionality instead of the ADEVT, N2HET1[x] or GIOB[x] signals, then care must be taken to disable these signals from triggering conversions; there is no multiplexing on the input connections.

If ePWM_B, ePWM_A2, ePWM_AB, N2HET2[1], N2HET2[5], N2HET2[13], N2HET1[11], N2HET1[17], or N2HET1[19] is used to trigger the ADC, the connection to the ADC is made directly from the N2HET or ePWM module outputs. As a result, the ADC can be triggered without having to enable the signal from being output on a device terminal.

NOTE

For the RTI compare 0 interrupt source, the connection is made directly from the output of the RTI module. That is, the interrupt condition can be used as a trigger source even if the actual interrupt is not signaled to the CPU.

NOTES

If AD2EVT, N2HET1, or GIOB is used as a trigger source, the connection to the MibADC2 module trigger input is made from the output side of the input buffer. This way, a trigger condition can be generated either by configuring the function as output onto the pad (through the mux control), or by driving the function from an external trigger source as input. If the mux control module is used to select different functionality instead of the AD2EVT, N2HET1[x] or GIOB[x] signals, then care must be taken to disable these signals from triggering conversions; there is no multiplexing on the input connections.

As a result, the ADC can be triggered without having to enable the signal from being output on a device terminal.

NOTE

For the RTI compare 0 interrupt source, the connection is made directly from the output of the RTI module. That is, the interrupt condition can be used as a trigger source even if the actual interrupt is not signaled to the CPU.

7.5.2.3 Controlling ADC1 and ADC2 Event Trigger Options Using SOC Output from ePWM Modules

As shown in Figure 7-10, the ePWMxSOCA and ePWMxSOCB outputs from each ePWM module are used to generate four signals – ePWM_B, ePWM_A1, ePWM_A2, and ePWM_AB, that are available to trigger the ADC based on the application requirement.

The SOCA output from each ePWM module is connected to a "switch" shown in Figure 7-10. This switch is implemented by using the control registers in the PINMMR module. Figure 7-11 shows an example of the implementation for the switch on SOC1A. The switches on the other SOCA signals are implemented in the same way.

7.6 General-Purpose Input/Output

The GPIO module on this device supports two ports, GIOA and GIOB. The I/O pins are bidirectional and bit-programmable. Both GIOA and GIOB support external interrupt capability.

7.6.1 Features

The GPIO module has the following features:

  • Each I/O pin can be configured as:
    • Input
    • Output
    • Open drain
  • The interrupts have the following characteristics:
    • Programmable interrupt detection either on both edges or on a single edge (set in GIOINTDET)
    • Programmable edge-detection polarity, either rising or falling edge (set in GIOPOL register)
    • Individual interrupt flags (set in GIOFLG register)
    • Individual interrupt enables, set and cleared through GIOENASET and GIOENACLR registers, respectively
    • Programmable interrupt priority, set through GIOLVLSET and GIOLVLCLR registers
  • Internal pullup/pulldown allows unused I/O pins to be left unconnected

For information on input and output timings see Section 7.1.1 and Section 7.1.2.

7.7 Enhanced High-End Timer (N2HET)

The N2HET is an advanced intelligent timer that provides sophisticated timing functions for real-time applications. The timer is software-controlled, using a reduced instruction set, with a specialized timer micromachine and an attached I/O port. The N2HET can be used for pulse width modulated outputs, capture or compare inputs, or general-purpose I/O. The N2HET is especially well suited for applications requiring multiple sensor information and drive actuators with complex and accurate time pulses.

7.7.1 Features

The N2HET module has the following features:

  • Programmable timer for input and output timing functions
  • Reduced instruction set (30 instructions) for dedicated time and angle functions
  • 160 words of instruction RAM protected by parity
  • User-defined number of 25-bit virtual counters for timer, event counters, and angle counters
  • 7-bit hardware counters for each pin allow up to 32-bit resolution in conjunction with the 25-bit virtual counters
  • Up to 32 pins usable for input signal measurements or output signal generation
  • Programmable suppression filter for each input pin with adjustable limiting frequency
  • Low CPU overhead and interrupt load
  • Efficient data transfer to or from the CPU memory with dedicated High-End-Timer Transfer Unit (HTU) or DMA
  • Diagnostic capabilities with different loopback mechanisms and pin status readback functionality

7.7.2 N2HET RAM Organization

The timer RAM uses four RAM banks, where each bank has two port access capability. This means that one RAM address may be written while another address is read. The RAM words are 96 bits wide, which are split into three 32-bit fields (program, control, and data).

7.7.3 Input Timing Specifications

The N2HET instructions PCNT and WCAP impose some timing constraints on the input signals.

4 Input signal low phase, PCNT or WCAP for falling edge to rising edge 2 (HRP) tc(VCLK2) + 2 225 (HRP) (LRP) tc(VCLK2) – 2 ns

7.7.4 N2HET1 to N2HET2 Synchronization

In some applications the N2HET resolutions must be synchronized. Some other applications require a single time base to be used for all PWM outputs and input timing captures.

The N2HET provides such a synchronization mechanism. The Clk_master/slave (HETGCR.16) configures the N2HET in master or slave mode (default is slave mode). An N2HET in master mode provides a signal to synchronize the prescalers of the slave N2HET. The slave N2HET synchronizes its loop resolution to the loop resolution signal sent by the master. The slave does not require this signal after it receives the first synchronization signal. However, anytime the slave receives the resynchronization signal from the master, the slave must synchronize itself again.

7.7.5 N2HET Checking

7.7.5.1 Internal Monitoring

To assure correctness of the high-end timer operation and output signals, the two N2HET modules can be used to monitor each other’s signals, as shown in Figure 7-18. The direction of the monitoring is controlled by the I/O multiplexing control module.

RM44L920 RM44L520 nhet_monitoring_pns160.gif Figure 7-18 N2HET Monitoring

7.7.5.2 Output Monitoring Using Dual Clock Comparator (DCC)

N2HET1[31] is connected as a clock source for counter 1 in DCC1. This allows the application to measure the frequency of the PWM signal on N2HET1[31].

Similarly, N2HET2[0] is connected as a clock source for counter 1 in DCC2. This allows the application to measure the frequency of the PWM signal on N2HET2[0].

Both N2HET1[31] and N2HET2[0] can be configured to be internal-only channels. That is, the connection to the DCC module is made directly from the output of the N2HETx module (from the input of the output buffer).

For more information on DCC, see Section 6.7.3.

7.7.6 Disabling N2HET Outputs

Some applications require disabling the N2HET outputs under some fault condition. The N2HET module provides this capability through the Pin Disable input signal. This signal, when driven low, causes the N2HET outputs identified by a programmable register (HETPINDIS) to be in a high-impedance (tri-state) state. For more details on the N2HET Pin Disable feature, see the device-specific Terminal Reference Manual.

GIOA[5] is connected to the Pin Disable input for N2HET1, and GIOB[2] is connected to the Pin Disable input for N2HET2.

7.7.7 High-End Timer Transfer Unit (HET)

A High-End Timer Transfer Unit (HTU) can perform DMA type transactions to transfer N2HET data to or from main memory. A Memory Protection Unit (MPU) is built into the HET TU.

7.7.7.1 Features

  • CPU and DMA independent
  • Master port to access system memory
  • 8 control packets supporting dual buffer configuration
  • Control packet information is stored in RAM protected by parity
  • Event synchronization (HET transfer requests)
  • Supports 32- or 64-bit transactions
  • Addressing modes for HET address (8- or 16-byte) and system memory address (fixed, 32- or 64-bit)
  • One shot, circular, and auto-switch buffer transfer modes
  • Request lost detection

7.7.7.2 Trigger Connections

For the transfer request line trigger connections to the N2HET TU when an instruction-specific condition is true, see Table 7-28 and Table 7-29.

RM44L920 RM44L520 i2c_timing_pns160.gif Figure 7-19 I2C Timings

NOTE

  • A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (referred to the VIHmin of the SCL signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
  • The maximum th(SDA-SCLL) has only to be met if the device does not stretch the low period (tw(SCLL)) of the SCL signal.
  • A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement tsu(SDA-SCLH) ≥ 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the low period of the SCL signal (tw(SCLL)). If such a device does stretch the low period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line within tr max + tsu(SDA-SCLH). For the rise time, tr max value per load capacitance on the SDA pin, see Table 7-2, Rise time, tr, 2-mA-z low-EMI pins MAX values.
  • Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF. If mixed with fast-mode devices, faster fall-times are allowed.

7.12.2 MibSPI Transmit and Receive RAM Organization

The multibuffer RAM is comprised of 128 buffers. Each entry in the multibuffer RAM consists of four parts: a 16-bit transmit field, a 16-bit receive field, a 16-bit control field, and a 16-bit status field. The multibuffer RAM can be partitioned into multiple transfer group with variable number of buffers each. Each MibSPIx module supports eight transfer groups.

7.12.3 MibSPI Transmit Trigger Events

Each transfer group can be configured individually. For each transfer group, a trigger event and a trigger source can be chosen. A trigger event can be for example a rising edge or a permanent low level at a selectable trigger source. For example, up to 15 trigger sources are available which can be used by each transfer group. These trigger options are listed in Table 7-33 and Section 7.12.3.2 for MibSPI1 and MibSPI3, respectively.

NOTE

For N2HET1 trigger sources, the connection to the MibSPI1 module trigger input is made from the input side of the output buffer (at the N2HET1 module boundary). This way, a trigger condition can be generated even if the N2HET1 signal is not selected to be output on the pad.

NOTE

For GIOx trigger sources, the connection to the MibSPI1 module trigger input is made from the output side of the input buffer. This way, a trigger condition can be generated either by selecting the GIOx pin as an output pin and selecting the pin to be a GIOx pin, or by driving the GIOx pin from an external trigger source. If the mux control module is used to select different functionality instead of the GIOx signal, then care must be taken to disable GIOx from triggering MibSPI1 transfers; there is no multiplexing on the input connections.

For N2HET1 trigger sources, the connection to the MibSPI5 module trigger input is made from the input side of the output buffer (at the N2HET1 module boundary). This way, a trigger condition can be generated even if the N2HET1 signal is not selected to be output on the pad.

NOTE

For GIOx trigger sources, the connection to the MibSPI5 module trigger input is made from the output side of the input buffer. This way, a trigger condition can be generated either by selecting the GIOx pin as an output pin and selecting the pin to be a GIOx pin, or by driving the GIOx pin from an external trigger source. If the mux control module is used to select different functionality instead of the GIOx signal, then care must be taken to disable GIOx from triggering MibSPI5 transfers; there is no multiplexing on the input connections.
