Overview of Multiple Modules

3.1Overview of Multiple Modules

Previously in this user's guide, all discussions have described the operation of a single module. To facilitate the understanding of multiple modules working together in a system, the ePWM module described in reference is represented by the more simplified block diagram shown in Figure 3-1. This simplified ePWM block shows only the key resources needed to explain how a multiswitch power topology is controlled with multiple ePWM modules working together.

3.2Key Configuration Capabilities

The key configuration choices available to each module are as follows:

Options for SyncIn

Load own counter with phase register on an incoming sync strobe—enable (EN) switch closed

Do nothing or ignore incoming sync strobe—enable switch open

Sync flow-through - SyncOut connected to SyncIn

Master mode, provides a sync at PWM boundaries—SyncOut connected to CTR = PRD

Master mode, provides a sync at any programmable point in time—SyncOut connected to CTR =

CMPB

Module is in standalone mode and provides No sync to other modules—SyncOut connected to X (disabled)

Options for SyncOut

Sync flow-through - SyncOut connected to SyncIn

Master mode, provides a sync at PWM boundaries—SyncOut connected to CTR = PRD

Master mode, provides a sync at any programmable point in time—SyncOut connected to CTR =

CMPB

Module is in standalone mode and provides No sync to other modules—SyncOut connected to X (disabled)

For each choice of SyncOut, a module may also choose to load its own counter with a new phase value on a SyncIn strobe input or choose to ignore it, i.e., via the enable switch. Although various combinations are possible, the two most common—master module and slave module modes—are shown in Figure 3-2.
