Enhanced Quadrature Encoder Pulse (eQEP) Module
34.2.2.2.1.1 Quadrature Count Mode
The quadrature decoder generates the direction and clock to the position counter in quadrature count
mode.
Direction Decoding— The direction decoding logic of the eQEP circuit determines which one of the
sequences (QEPA, QEPB) is the leading sequence and accordingly updates the direction
information in QEPSTS[QDF] bit. Table 34-2 and Figure 34-6 show the direction decoding logic in
truth table and state machine form. Both edges of the QEPA and QEPB signals are sensed to
generate count pulses for the position counter. Therefore, the frequency of the clock generated by
the eQEP logic is four times that of each input sequence. Figure 34-7 shows the direction decoding
and clock generation from the eQEP input signals.
