Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP) Module
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 15-13).
Figure 15-35 shows the layout of the eQEP Position-Compare Control Register (QPOSCTL) and Table 15-
17 describes the QPOSCTL bit fields.
Figure 15-13. eQEP Position-compare Event Generation Points
The pulse stretcher logic in the position-compare unit generates a programmable position-compare sync
pulse output on the position-compare match. In the event of a new position-compare match while a
previous position-compare pulse is still active, then the pulse stretcher generates a pulse of specified
duration from the new position-compare event as shown in Figure 15-14.
