The block diagram in Figure 15-4 shows the critical signals and registers of the time-base submodule. Table 15-2 provides descriptions of the key signals associated with the time-base submodule.
| Signal | Description |
|---|---|
| MCPWMxSYNCI | Time-base synchronization input. |
| Input pulse used to synchronize the time-base counter with the counter of other MCPWM modules. For information on the synchronization order of a particular device, see Section 15.4.3.3. | |
| MCPWMxSYNCO | Time-base synchronization output. |
| This output pulse is used to synchronize the counter of other MCPWM modules. Using the TBCTL.SYNCOSEL bit, the source of the output pulse is selected. | |
| MCPWMxSYNCPER | Time-base peripheral synchronization output. |
| This output signal is used to synchronize the CMPSS to the MCPWM. The output signal can be configured using the TBCTL register. | |
| CTR = PRD | Time-base counter equal to the specified period. |
| This signal is generated whenever the counter value is equal to the active period register value. That is when TBCTR = TBPRD. | |
| CTR = Zero | Time-base counter equal to zero. |
| This signal is generated whenever the counter value is zero. That is when TBCTR equals 0x00. | |
| CTR = PWMx_CMPB | Time-base counter equal to active counter-compare B register (TBCTR = PWMx_CMPB). |
| This
event is generated by the counter-compare submodule and used by the
synchronization out logic. There is one CMPB register per PWM channel pair, denoted by "x". |
|
| CTRDIR | Time-base counter direction. |
| Indicates the current direction of the MCPWM time-base counter. The
signal is high when the counter is increasing and the signal is low
when the counter is decreasing. The state of this signal can be observed in the TBSTS register. |
|
| TBCLK | Time-base clock. |
| This is a prescaled version of the MCPWM clock (MCPWMCLK) and is used by all submodules within the MCPWM. This clock determines the rate at which time-base counter increments or decrements. |
