Introduction
eTPU is an intelligent, semi-autonomous co-processor designed for timing control. Operating in parallel
with the Host CPU, the eTPU processes instructions, real-time input events, performs output waveform
generation, and accesses shared data without Host intervention. Consequently, for each timer event, the
Host CPU setup and service times are minimized or eliminated.
High-level assembler, compiler and documentation allows customers to develop their own functions on
the eTPU.
eTPU is an enhanced version of the TPU module. Although there is no compatibility at microcode level,
eTPU maintains several features of older TPU versions, making it easy to port older applications, at the
same time adding several features listed in
Section 24.2.2.2, eTPU enhancements over TPU3
This document also includes the new features belonging to the version of the eTPU known as eTPU2. The
new features are summarized in
Section 24.2.2.3, eTPU2 enhancements over eTPU
eTPU architecture aims at high resolution timing capabilities. From a system perspective, high resolution
timing is limited by Host CPU overhead required for servicing timing tasks such as period measurement,
pulse measurement, pulse width modulated waveform generation, etc. On the eTPU, high resolution
timing is achieved by three main capabilities:
•
Reduced latency: pin actions are immediate.
•
Reduce or eliminate host interrupt service time.
•
Double action channel capability reducing the channel request rate.
