The action-qualifier submodule has the most important role in waveform construction and PWM generation. It decides which events are converted into various action types, thereby producing the required switched waveforms at the EPWMxA and EPWMxB outputs.

2.4.1 Purpose of the Action-Qualifier Submodule

The action-qualifier submodule is responsible for the following:

∙Qualifying and generating actions (set, clear, toggle) based on the following events:

–CTR = PRD: Time-base counter equal to the period (TBCTR = TBPRD).

–CTR = Zero: Time-base counter equal to zero (TBCTR = 0x0000)

–CTR = CMPA: Time-base counter equal to the counter-compare A register (TBCTR = CMPA)

–CTR = CMPB: Time-base counter equal to the counter-compare B register (TBCTR = CMPB)

∙Managing priority when these events occur concurrently

∙Providing independent control of events when the time-base counter is increasing and when it is decreasing. .

2.4.2Action-Qualifier Submodule Control and Status Register Definitions

The action-qualifier submodule operation is controlled and monitored via the registers in Table 2-6.
