TMS570LC4357: in which document can i see clock source(SYSCLK ) of the ECAP ?

Part Number: TMS570LC4357


Tool/software:

Hello , 

Q1 -)   i coundt find any document that shows the clock source of the ECAP module on the TMS570LC4357 mcu ? It shown as SYSCLK in the trm Figure 33-6. Counter and Synchronization Block , but what is SYSCLK ? is it VCLK ? If yes which one ?

Q2-) Is there any way to synchronize RTI's UC (upcounter ) and ECAP's counter (TSCTR)  ?  

Thanks.

  • Hi mc b,

    Q1 -)   i coundt find any document that shows the clock source of the ECAP module on the TMS570LC4357 mcu ? It shown as SYSCLK in the trm Figure 33-6. Counter and Synchronization Block , but what is SYSCLK ? is it VCLK ? If yes which one ?

    eCAP module will use VCLK3 for capturing.

    Please refer datasheet, there they clearly mentioned the input clock:

    As you can see the minimum capturing width also should be at least two times the VLCK3, so that means the capturing will happen based on VCLK3.

    Q2-) Is there any way to synchronize RTI's UC (upcounter ) and ECAP's counter (TSCTR)  ?  

    No, it is not possible to synchronize RTI and ECAP.

    We can only synchronize ECAP with only ePWM module.
