The key functions of the trip-zone submodule are:
- Trip inputs TZ1 to TZ8 can be flexibly mapped to any MCPWM module.
- Upon a fault condition, outputs MCPWMx_yA and MCPWMx_yB can be forced to one of the following:
- High
- Low
- High-impedance
- No action taken
- Support for one-shot trip (OST) for major short circuits or over-current
conditions.
- Support for cycle-by-cycle tripping (CBC) for current limiting operation.
- Each trip-zone input can be allocated to either one-shot or cycle-by-cycle operation.
- Interrupt generation is possible on any trip-zone input.
- The trip-zone submodule can be fully bypassed if the trip-zone submodule is not required.
