18.3.2.1 Time Base Clock Signal (TCRCLKA and TCRCLKB)
The TCRCLKA and TCRCLKB input signals are used to control the TCR1 and TCR2 time bases for eTPU 
A and eTPU B.
NOTE
Throughout this document, TCRCLKA and TCRCLKB are referred to 
generically as TCRCLK.
There is an independent TCRCLK input for each eTPU engine. Table 18-2 shows the TCRCLK pin 
connections. 
• For pulse accumulator operations, TCRCLK can be used as a gate for a counter based on the system 
clock divided by eight. 
• For angle operations TCRCLK can be used to get the tooth transition indications in angle mode. 
Refer to the eTPU Reference Manual’s Sections 5.9 and 5.10.
18.3.2.2 Channel Output Disable Signals
Each eTPU engine has four input signals that are used to force the outputs of a group of eight channels to 
an inactive level. These signals originate from the eMIOS. When an output disable signal is active, all eight 
channels assigned to the disable signal that have their ODIS bits set to one in the ETPU_CnCR register 
have their outputs forced to the opposite of the value specified in the ETPU_CnCR[OPOL] bit. Therefore, 
individual channels can be selected to be affected by the output disable signals, as well as their disabling 
forced polarity. 
Refer to Section 17.2.1.1, “Output Disable Input—eMIOS Output Disable Input Signals,” for more 
information on the output disable signals.
