AM263x MCU+ SDK  10.00.00
EPWM DMA

Introduction

This example configures an ePWM instance and DMA as follows:

  • ePWMx is set up to generate PWM waveforms
  • DMA channel 0 is set up to update the CMPAHR, CMPA, CMPBHR and CMPB every period with the next value in the configuration array. This allows the user to create a DMA enabled fifo for all the CMPx and CMPxHR registers to generate unconventional PWM waveforms.
  • DMA channel 1 is set up to update the TBPHSHR, TBPHS, TBPRDHR and TBPRD every period with the next value in the configuration array.
  • Other registers such as AQCTL can be controlled through the DMA as well by following the same procedure.

External Connections

  • For AM263x-CC or AM263Px-CC: EPWM0_A/B pin can be connected to an oscilloscope to view the waveform.
  • For AM263x-LP or AM263Px-LP: EPWM1_A/B pin can be connected to an oscilloscope to view the waveform.

AM263X-CC or AM263PX-CC

When using AM263x-CC or AM263PX-CC with TMDSHSECDOCK (HSEC180 controlCARD Baseboard Docking Station)

  • Capture waveform on HSEC Pin 49 for epwm0_A
  • Capture waveform on HSEC Pin 51 for epwm0_B

AM263X-LP or AM263PX-LP

When using AM263x-LP or AM263PX-LP

  • Capture waveform on boosterpack header J2/J4 Pin 37 for epwm1_A
  • Capture waveform on boosterpack header J2/J4 Pin 38 for epwm1_B
