TMS320F28388D: Request for clarification about DCAEVT1.sync

Part Number: TMS320F28388D

Hello,

In the ePWM chapter the diagram called Figure 26-51. DCxEVT1 Event Triggering is missing some arrows and that makes it confusing. Is there an updated version available?

The TRM states the following:

  • In 26.11.4.1 Digital Compare Events
    The DCAEVT1.sync and DCBEVT1.sync events are ORed with the EPWMxSYNCI input signal and the
    TBCTL[SWFSYNC] signal to generate a synchronization pulse to the time-base counter.

  • In 26.4.3.3 Time-Base Counter Synchronization
    DCAEVT1 and DCBEVT1 digital compare events can be configured to generate synchronization
    pulses which have the same affect as EPWMxSYNCI.
    NOTE: If the EPWMxSYNCI signal is held HIGH, the sync will NOT continously occur. The
    EPWMxSYNCI is rising edge activated.

So if I understand correctly the DCAEVT1.sync signal will not repeatedly trigger the synchronization if DCAEVT1 is held high. Is it correct?  

Can someone confirm that not only is EPWMxSYNCI rising-edge activated but DCAEVT1.sync is rising-edge activated aswell?

Cheers,

Pierre

    That's correct.

    Yes - if the sync source is DCAEVT1.sync it'll be edge based as well. Sync operation is triggered based on rising edge.

    "SPRUII0A–May 2019–Revised October 2019" is the latest available on the website. Are you referring to the same version?

  • Yes, thank you
