TMS320F280039: Why only 3 CPU timers

Lothar Bauknecht
Prodigy 10 points

Part Number: TMS320F280039

Tool/software:

Why do C2000 (TMS320F28003x) microcontrollers have only 3 CPU timers, whereas for example the TM4C1233 (Cortex M4) has 12 GP timers?

Is it possible to use the C2000 capture and compare timers as general purpose timers?

    Hi Lothar,

    The TM4C1233 you have mentioned is one of our older devices where the timer modules had more expanded functionality, including a PWM mode. The F28003x instead has 3 CPU timer modules along with 8 ePWM (enhanced PWM) modules. So, if you are looking to generate periodic interrupts, there are 11 available modules on this device.

    Please explain your intended use case in more detail and then I can loop in an ePWM expert to confirm that this peripheral will work for your application.

    Best Regards,

    Delaney
