The enhanced pulse width modulator (ePWM) module is a key element in controlling many of the power
electronic systems found in both commercial and industrial equipments. These systems include digital motor
control, switch mode power supply control, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other forms of power
conversion. The ePWM module performs a digital-to-analog (DAC) function, where the duty cycle is equivalent to
a DAC analog value; it is sometimes referred to as a Power DAC.
This chapter is applicable for ePWM type 1. See the
C2000 Real-Time Control Peripheral Reference Guide
for a
list of all devices with an ePWM module of the same type, to determine the differences between the types, and
for a list of device-specific differences within a type.
This chapter includes an overview of the module and information about each of the submodules:
• Time-Base Module
• Counter-Compare Module
• Action-Qualifier Module
• Dead-Band Generator Module
• PWM-Chopper (PC) Module
• Trip-Zone Module
• Event-Trigger Module
ePWM Type 1 is fully compatible to the Type 0 module. Type 1 has the following enhancements in addition to the
Type 0 module:
•
Increased Dead-Band Resolution:
The dead-band clocking has been enhanced to allow half-cycle clocking
to double resolution.
•
Enhanced Interrupt and SOC Generation:
Interrupts and ADC start-of-conversion can now be generated
on both the TBCTR == zero and TBCTR == period events. This feature enables dual edge PWM control.
Additionally, the ADC start-of-conversion can be generated from an event defined in the digital compare
sub-module.
•
High-Resolution Period Capability:
Provides the ability to enable high-resolution period. This is discussed
.
•
Digital Compare Sub-module:
The digital compare sub-module enhances the event triggering and trip zone
sub-modules by providing filtering, blanking and improved trip functionality to digital compare signals. Such
features are essential for peak current mode control and for support of analog comparators.
