The LaunchPad has the ability to connect to one independent linear or rotary encoder through the F280013x on-chip eQEP interface: Header J12 is connected to eQEP1. By default, this connection is not active and the GPIOs are routed to the BoosterPack connectors. The 5-V eQEP input signals from the J12 connector are stepped down through a TI SN74LVC8T245 Level Translator (U13) to 3.3V. The signals are then routed through TI SN74LV4053A Triple 2-Channel Analog Multiplexer/Demultiplexer IC (U14). Switch S5 controls the select inputs of the ICs to configure the eQEP signal destinations to be either the J12 connector or BoosterPack headers, as described in Table 3-5.
