TMS320F28P650DK: More information about ePWM XBAR

Part Number: TMS320F28P650DK

Hi Team,

I want to understand more on the ePWM X-BAR in F28P65x processor.

1. In the ePWM chapter, it is mentioned only about TRIP4 -12 (except for TRIP6) comes from ePWM XBAR.

However, in the ePWM XBAR chapter it is said the XBAR signal from ePWM XBAR A goes to TRIPIN 1 - 8 and  ePWM XBAR B goes to TRIP9-15.

Although ePWM XBAR B has less output as per the image above, the registers for ePWM XBAR A and ePWM XBAR B are identical.

PFB my questions,

1. Are TRIPIN1-15 different from TRIP signals i.e TRIP1-12?

2. How are these signals mapped with each other?

3. Des OUT1 in ePWM Xbar A correspond to TRIPIN 1 and OUT1 in ePWM Xbar  correspond to TRIPIN 9? If so then what is OUT8 in ePWM XBAR B?

4. Can I get more details on the enhancements of these XBARS from its predecessor 2838x?

Kind regards,

Irene

  • Hello Irene,

    On F28P65x devices, there are two instances of the ePWM X-BAR (ePWM X-BAR A and ePWM XBAR B). Table 16-5 describes the inputs to the ePWM X-BARs, which are identical for both instances. Each instance has 8 outputs. The outputs of ePWM X-BAR A are connected to trips 1-8 of each ePWM instance, while outputs 1-4 and output 6-7 of ePWM X-BAR B are connected to trips 9-12 and trips 14-15 of each ePWM instance, respectively. Note that outputs 5 and 8 of ePWM X-BAR B are not connected to any ePWM trip source.

    First picture is incorrect will communicate to internal team for correction.
    Please refer to section 16.2.1 ePWM X-BAR for more insights on epwm xbar.

    Thanks!

  • Hi Prarthan,

    Thank you for your response.

    Is there no TRIP 13? Also does that mean now there are TRIP1-15 for F28p65x processors? This would be an enhancement to its predecessors. All TRIP1-15 can be used for CBC and OST in Trip Zone?

    Section 16.2.1 describes more on the input to the XBAR. I would like to know some more about the TRIP signals.

    Are TRIPIN 1 -15, which are the output signals from ePWM XBARs, directly mapped as TRIP1-15 signals to ePWM module?

    Thanks and regards,

    Irene

  • Hello Irene,

    Yes because we have two epwm xbar instances in f28p65x devices as compared to one in f2838x devices hence we have 2x TRIPIN Signals capability. TRIP13 is reserved/not used.

    TRIPIN signals from EPWM-XBAR will be routed to DC submodule and based on DCTRIPSEL any trip can be routed to DCA/BEVT1/2 Signals and trigger OSHT or CBC for respective epwm modules.
