Enhanced PWM (ePWM) Module
15.2.2.8 Trip-Zone (TZ) Submodule
shows how the trip-zone (TZ) submodule fits within the ePWM module. Each ePWM module
is connected to every TZ signal that are sourced from the GPIO MUX. These signals indicates external
fault or trip conditions, and the ePWM outputs can be programmed to respond accordingly when faults
occur. See
to determine the number of trip-zone pins available for the device.

15.2.2.8.1 Purpose of the Trip-Zone Submodule
The key functions of the trip-zone submodule are:
•
Trip inputs TZ1 to TZn can be flexibly mapped to any ePWM module.
•
Upon a fault condition, outputs EPWMxA and EPWMxB can be forced to one of the following:
–
High
–
Low
–
High-impedance
–
No action taken
•
Support for one-shot trip (OSHT) for major short circuits or over-current conditions.
•
Support for cycle-by-cycle tripping (CBC) for current limiting operation.
•
Each trip-zone input pin can be allocated to either one-shot or cycle-by-cycle operation.
•
Interrupt generation is possible on any trip-zone pin.
•
Software-forced tripping is also supported.
•
The trip-zone submodule can be fully bypassed if it is not required.
