2.1.4 Motion Control

The Ethernet LaunchPad development kit includes motion control functionality through the use of a PWM module capable of generating eight PWM outputs. The PWM module provides a great deal of flexibility and can generate simple PWM signals – for example, those required by a simple charge pump – as well as paired PWM signals with dead-band delays, such as those required by a half-H bridge driver. Three generator blocks can also generate the full six channels of gate controls required by a 3-phase inverter bridge.

A quadrature encoder interface (QEI) is also available to provide motion control feedback.

See Section 2.1.6 for details about the availability of these signals on the BoosterPack interfaces.
