Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP)
6.5.4 eQEP Position-compare Unit
The eQEP peripheral includes a position-compare unit that is used to generate a sync output and/or
interrupt on a position-compare match. Figure 6-12 shows a diagram. The position-compare (QPOSCMP)
register is shadowed and shadow mode can be enabled or disabled using the QPOSCTL[PSSHDW] bit. If
the shadow mode is not enabled, the CPU writes directly to the active position compare register.
Figure 6-12. eQEP Position-compare Unit
In shadow mode, you can configure the position-compare unit (QPOSCTL[PCLOAD]) to load the shadow
register value into the active register on the following events, and to generate the position-compare ready
(QFLG[PCR]) interrupt after loading.
• Load on compare match
• Load on position-counter zero event
The position-compare match (QFLG[PCM]) is set when the position-counter value (QPOSCNT) matches
with the active position-compare register (QPOSCMP) and the position-compare sync output of the
programmable pulse width is generated on compare-match to trigger an external device.
For example, if QPOSCMP = 2, the position-compare unit generates a position-compare event on 1 to 2
transitions of the eQEP position counter for forward counting direction and on 3 to 2 transitions of the
eQEP position counter for reverse counting direction (see Figure 6-13).
See the register section for the layout of the eQEP Position-Compare Control Register (QPOSCTL) and
description of the QPOSCTL bit fields.
