Figure 2-37. Trip-Zone Submodule Interrupt Logic
The key functions of the event-trigger submodule are:
• Receives event inputs generated by the time-base and counter-compare submodules
• Uses the time-base direction information for up/down event qualification
• Uses prescaling logic to issue interrupt requests and ADC start of conversion at:
– Every event
– Every second event
– Every third event
• Provides full visibility of event generation via event counters and flags
• Allows software forcing of Interrupts and ADC start of conversion
The event-trigger submodule manages the events generated by the time-base submodule, the
counter-compare submodule, and the digital-compare submodule to generate an interrupt to the CPU
and/or a start of conversion pulse to the ADC when a selected event occurs. Figure 2-38 illustrates where
the event-trigger submodule fits within the ePWM system.
