Drive 3 Phase PWM with C6000 DSP or other DSP?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C6748, 66AK2G02

Which member(s) of the C6000 DSP family have pwm capability to drive a 3-phase motor (6 pwm outputs as 3 complementary pairs) ?

What other Texas Instruments DSP families have 3-phase pwm capability?

  • Hello,

    I've forwarded this to the design team. Their feedback should be posted here.

  • Hi,

    The TMS320C6748 devices could work for you, they have a dedicated pwm subsystems:
    -Two Enhanced High-Resolution Pulse Width Modulators (eHRPWMs):
    Dedicated 16-Bit Time-Base Counter With Period and Frequency Control
    6 Single-Edge Outputs, 6 Dual-Edge Symmetric Outputs, or 3 Dual-Edge Asymmetric Outputs
    Dead-Band Generation
    PWM Chopping by High-Frequency Carrier
    Trip Zone Input
    -Three 32-Bit Enhanced Capture (eCAP) Modules:
    Configurable as 3 Capture Inputs or 3 Auxiliary Pulse Width Modulator (APWM) Outputs
    Single-Shot Capture of up to Four Event Timestamps

    The better choice might be the 66AK2G02 device with:
    -Six Enhanced High Resolution Pulse Width Modulation (eHRPWM) Modules .Each Counter Supports:
    Dedicated 16-Bit Time-Base With Period and Frequency Control
    Two Independent PWM Outputs With Single Edge Operation
    Two Independent PWM Outputs With Dual-Edge Symmetric Operation
    One Independent PWM Output With Dual-Edge Asymmetric Operation

    -Two 32-Bit Enhanced Capture Modules (eCAP):
    Supports One Capture Input or One Auxiliary PWM Output Configuration Options
    4-Event Time-Stamp Registers (Each 32-Bits)
    Interrupt on Either of the Four Events
    -Three 32-Bit Enhanced Quadrature Pulse Encoder Modules (eQEP), Each Supports. Each Supports:
    Quadrature Decoding
    Position Counter and Control Unit for Position Measurement
    Unit Time Base for Speed and Frequency Measurement

  • Hello,

    As Yordan mentioned, C6748 would be a right DSP solution which supports PWM. Also you got some suggestion from Randy in C6000 forum.

    Please review these options and let us know of you have any questions.
