TMS570LC4357: Controls & Synchronization of eQEPx Inputs

Part Number: TMS570LC4357

Hello,

We are currently using the eQEP module in the TMS570LC4357.

Controls for eQEPx Inputs

In the Reference Manual, section 6.5.11, it is described than eQEP inputs can be connected to the module in two ways (Double-synchronized using VCLK3, or Double-synchronized using VCLK3 and then filtered through a 6-VCLK3-cycle counter). The table 6-9 In the Reference Manual provides configuration of IOMM mdoule in order to control eQEPx Inputs connections

In the datasheet, section 7.3.3, it is the same description but the Table 7-12 does not provide the same configuration of IOMM mdoule in order to control eQEPx Inputs connections (e.g. for eQEP1A: PINMMR170[18:16] = 001 or PINMMR170[18:16] = 010 whereas in the Reference Manual for eQEP1A: PINMMR170[16] = 0 or PINMMR170[16] = 0 and PINMMR170[17] = 1)

Why are there differences ? what is the correct tbale for controls for eQEPx Inputs ?

Best regards,

Christopher

  • Hello Christopher,

    I also noticed the difference, I will check with the TRM owner. Thanks
  • Hello Christopher,

    Thank you for your patience.

    We reviewed the TRM and datasheet , and the original pinmux spreadsheets. For eQEP and eCAP input multiplexers, there are only two inputs: Double-synchronized using VCLK3 and then filtered through a 6-VCLK3-cycle counter. The async input (EQEPxA or EQEPxB, ECAPx) depicted in Figure 7-7 (Datasheet) and Figure 7-5 (Datasheet) are not implemented in this device.

    We will modify the figures (7-5, and 7-7). There will be no change to the tables (7-12, 7-8, in datasheet).

    Thank you for finding those errors.
