Event Manager
Introduction
This module explains how to generate PWM waveforms using the timers and compare units.
Also, the capture units, quadrature encoder pulse circuit, and the hardware deadband units will be
discussed. All devices of the C28x family have two event managers, EVA and EVB. These two
event managers are identical to each other in terms of functionality. Register mapping and bit
definitions are also identical, with the exception of naming conventions and register addresses.
Therefore, for simplicity, only the functionality of EVA will be explained.
