The LaunchPad has the ability to connect to two independent linear or rotary encoders through the F28P65x on-chip eQEP interfaces: Header J12 is connected to eQEP1 and header J13 is connected to eQEP2. 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 and J13 connectors are stepped down through a TI SN74LVC8T245 Level Translator (U13) to 3.3 V. The signals are then routed through TI SN74LV4053A Triple 2-Channel Analog Multiplexer/Demultiplexer ICs (U11/U14). Switch S5 controls the select inputs of the ICs to configure the eQEP signal destinations to be either the J12/J13 connectors or BoosterPack headers, as described in Table 3-9.
