Naming Conventions
C2000 Microcontroller Workshop - Peripheral Registers Header Files 3 - 7
Naming Conventions
The header files use a familiar set of naming conventions. They are consistent with the Code
Composer Studio configuration tool, and generated file naming conventions.
Structure Naming Conventions
The F2806x header files define:
All of the peripheral structures
All of the register names
All of the bit field names
All of the register addresses
PeripheralName.RegisterName.all // Access full 16 or 32-bit register
PeripheralName.RegisterName.half.LSW // Access low 16-bits of 32-bit register
PeripheralName.RegisterName.half.MSW // Access high 16-bits of 32-bit register
PeripheralName.RegisterName.bit.FieldName // Access specified bit fields of register
Notes: [1] “PeripheralName” are assigned by TI and found in the F2806x header files.
They are a combination of capital and small letters (i.e. CpuTimer0Regs).
[2] “RegisterName” are the same names as used in the data sheet.
They are always in capital letters (i.e. TCR, TIM, TPR,..).
[3] “FieldName” are the same names as used in the data sheet.
They are always in capital letters (i.e. POL, TOG, TSS,..).
The header files define all of the peripheral structures, all of the register names, all of the bit field
names, and all of the register addresses. The most common naming conventions used are
PeripheralName.RegisterName.all, which will access the full 16 or 32-bit register; and
PeripheralName.RegisterName.bit.FieldName, which will access the specified bit fields of a
register.
