Counter-Compare (CC) Submodule
The counter-compare submodule takes as input the time-base counter value. This value is continuously
compared to the counter-compare A (CMPA) and counter-compare B (CMPB) registers. When the
time-base counter is equal to one of the compare registers, the counter-compare unit generates an
appropriate event.
The counter-compare:
• Generates events based on programmable time stamps using the CMPA and CMPB registers
– CTR = CMPA: Time-base counter equals counter-compare A register (TBCTR = CMPA).
– CTR = CMPB: Time-base counter equals counter-compare B register (TBCTR = CMPB)
• Controls the PWM duty cycle if the action-qualifier submodule is configured appropriately
• Shadows new compare values to prevent corruption or glitches during the active PWM cycle
The counter-compare submodule operation is controlled and monitored by the registers shown in
Table 2-4 :

This register is available only on ePWM modules with the high-resolution extension (HRPWM). On ePWM modules that do not
include the HRPWM this location is reserved. This register is described in the TMS320x28xx, 28xxx High-Resolution Pulse
Width Modulator (HRPWM) Reference Guide (SPRU924). Refer to the device specific data manual to determine which ePWM
instances include this feature.
