7 Peripheral Information and Electrical Specifications

7.1 Enhanced Translator PWM Modules (ePWM)

Figure 7-1 illustrates the connections between the seven ePWM modules (ePWM1,2,3,4,5,6,7) on the device.

RM46L450 RM46L850 eTPWMx_interconnections_spns185.gifFigure 7-1 ePWMx Module Interconnections

7.1.1 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 7-1 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.

7.1.2 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 7-1 shows the synchronization connections for all the ePWMx modules. Each ePWM module can be configured to use or ignore the synchronization input. Refer to the ePWM chapter in the RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514) for more information.

7.1.3 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 7-2.

RM46L450 RM46L850 sychonizing_tpwmx_n2het_spns185.gifFigure 7-2 Synchronizing Time Bases Between N2HET1, N2HET2 and ePWMx Modules

7.1.4 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 7-1.
  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.

7.1.5 ePWM Synchronization with External Devices

The output sync from 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.

7.1.6 ePWM Trip Zones

The ePWMx modules have six trip zone inputs each. These are active-low signals. The application can control the ePWMx module response to each of the trip zone input separately. The timing requirements from the assertion of the trip zone inputs to the actual response are specified in Section 7.1.8.

7.1.6.1 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. By default, the trip zone inputs are asynchronously connected to the ePWMx modules.

Table 7-2 Connection to ePWMx Modules for Device-Level Trip Zone Inputs

Trip Zone Input Control for Asynchronous Connection to ePWMx Control for Double-Synchronized Connection to ePWMx Control for Double-Synchronized and Filtered Connection to ePWMx

TZ3n PINMMR47[0] = 1 PINMMR47[0] = 0 AND PINMMR47[1] = 1 PINMMR47[0] = 0 AND PINMMR47[1] = 0 AND PINMMR47[2] = 1

7.1.6.2 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 application’s requirements.

7.1.6.3 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 in order 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 are level signals are set until cleared by the application.

7.1.6.4 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.

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

A special scheme is implemented in order 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 7.4.2.3.

7.2 Enhanced Capture Modules (eCAP)

Figure 7-3 shows how the eCAP modules are interconnected on this microcontroller.

RM46L450 RM46L850 eCAP_connections_spns185.gifFigure 7-3 eCAP Module Connections

7.2.1 Clock Enable Control for eCAPx Modules

Each of the ECAPx modules have a clock enable (ECAPxENCLK). These signals need to 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 7-7 eCAPx Clock Enable Control

ePWM Module Instance Control Register to Enable Clock Default Value
eCAP1 PINMMR39[0] 1
eCAP2 PINMMR39[8] 1
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.

7.2.2 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 eCAP modules. Refer to the eCAP chapter of the RM46x Technical Reference Manual (SPNU514) for more information.

7.2.3 Input Connection to eCAPx Modules

The input connection to each of the eCAP modules can be selected between a double-VCLK4-synchronized input or a double-VCLK4-synchronized and filtered input, as shown in Table 7-8.

Figure 7-4 shows the eQEP module interconnections on the device.

RM46L450 RM46L850 eQEP_connections_spns185.gifFigure 7-4 eQEP Module Interconnections

7.3.1 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.

Table 7-11 eQEPx Clock Enable Control

ePWM Module Instance Control Register to Enable Clock Default Value
eQEP1 PINMMR40[16] 1
eQEP2 PINMMR40[24] 1

The default value of the control registers to enable the clocks to the eQEPx modules is 1. 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.

7.3.2 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 multiplexor. This multiplexor is defined in Table 7-3. As shown in Figure 7-1, the output of this selection multiplexor 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.

7.3.3 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 7-12.

The multibuffered A-to-D converter (MibADC) has a separate power bus for its analog circuitry that enhances the 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_S2, 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.

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

As shown in Figure 7-5, the ePWMxSOCA and ePWMxSOCB outputs from each ePWM module are used to generate 4 signals – ePWM_B, ePWM_A1, ePWM_A2 and ePWM_AB, that are available to trigger the ADC based on the application requirement.

  • 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 read back functionality

7.6.2 N2HET RAM Organization

The timer RAM uses 4 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).

7.6.3 Input Timing Specifications

All of the N2HET channels have an enhanced pulse capture circuit. The N2HET instructions PCNT and WCAP use this circuit to achieve the input timing requirements shown in Figure 7-10 and Table 7-23 below.

RM46L450 RM46L850 nhet_input_timings_pns160.gifFigure 7-10 N2HET Input Capture Timings

Table 7-23 Input Timing Requirements for N2HET Channels with Enhanced Pulse Capture

PARAMETER MIN MAX UNIT

3 Input signal high phase, PCNT or WCAP 2 (HRP) tc(VCLK2) + 2 225 (HRP) (LRP) tc(VCLK2) - 2 ns
4 Input signal low phase, PCNT or WCAP 2 (HRP) tc(VCLK2) + 2 225 (HRP) (LRP) tc(VCLK2) - 2 ns

7.6.4 N2HET1-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). A 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 re-synchronization signal from the master, the slave must synchronize itself again..

7.6.5 N2HET Checking

7.6.5.1 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 7-12. The direction of the monitoring is controlled by the I/O multiplexing control module.

RM46L450 RM46L850 nhet_monitoring_pns160.gifFigure 7-12 N2HET Monitoring

7.6.5.2 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 pulse-width modulated (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 pulse-width modulated (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.

7.6.6 Disabling N2HET Outputs

Some applications require the N2HET outputs to be disabled 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 tri-stated. 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.

7.6.7 High-End Timer Transfer Unit (HTU)

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 HTU.

7.6.7.1 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

(2) The maximum th(SDA-SCLL) for I2C bus devices has only to be met if the device does not stretch the low period (tw(SCLL)) of the SCL signal.
(3) Cb = The total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
RM46L450 RM46L850 i2c_timing_pns160.gifFigure 7-13 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. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tr max + tsu(SDA-SCLH).
  • Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF. If mixed with fast-mode devices, faster fall-times are allowed.

7.11.2 MibSPI Transmit and Receive RAM Organization

The Multibuffer RAM is comprised of 128 buffers. Each entry in the Multibuffer RAM consists of 4 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 8 transfer groups.

7.11.3 MibSPI Transmit Trigger Events

Each of the transfer groups can be configured individually. For each of the transfer groups 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 for use by each transfer group. These trigger options are listed in Table 7-30 and Section 7.11.3.2 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.

7.12 Ethernet Media Access Controller

The Ethernet Media Access Controller (EMAC) provides an efficient interface between the CPU and the network. The EMAC supports both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX, or 10 Mbits/second (Mbps) and 100 Mbps in either half- or full-duplex mode, with hardware flow control and quality of service (QoS) support.

The EMAC controls the flow of packet data from the RM4x device to the PHY. The MDIO module controls PHY configuration and status monitoring.

Both the EMAC and the MDIO modules interface to the RM4x device through a custom interface that allows efficient data transmission and reception. This custom interface is referred to as the EMAC control module, and is considered integral to the EMAC/MDIO peripheral. The control module is also used to multiplex and control interrupts.
