17.2 External Signal Description
17.2.1 Overview
Each unified channel has one input and one output signal connected to the channel’s I/O pin. Refer to the
SIU, eTPU, and DSPI sections for details about the connection to pads and other modules.
NOTE
On channels 12-15, input can be from DSPI, but cannot be from
eMIOS[12:15] because these are not pinned out. See Figure 2-10 and
Figure 2-11).
The internal output disable input signals 0-3 (refer to Table 17-3) are provided to implement the output
disable feature needed for motor control. They are connected to EMIOS_Flag_Out signals according to
Section 17.2.1.2, “Output Disable Input—eMIOS Output Disable Input Signals.”
17.2.1.1 External Signals
When configured as an input, EMIOSn is synchronized and filtered by the programmable input filter (PIF).
The output of the PIF is then used by the channel logic and is available to be read by the MCU through the
UCIN bit of the EMIOS_CSRn. When configured as an output, EMIOSn is a registered output and is
available for reading by the MCU through the UCOUT bit of the EMIOS_CSRn.

A value of 0 refers to the reset value of the signal. Hi-Z refers to the state of the external pin if a tri-state
output buffer is controlled by the corresponding eMIOS signal.
