3.2.8.1 Enhanced Pulse Width Modulator (ePWM) and ePWM Sync Scheme

The ePWM Module Type on the F2838x and F2837x devices is the same, which means that the feature set of the ePWM module is the same on both the devices, but the number ePWM channels has been increased and a new synch scheme has been implemented on the F2838x devices.

Table 12 provide the list of changes associated with the ePWM module between the F2837x and F2838x devices.

Table 12. ePWM Feature Comparison

Feature F2838x F2837x
EPWM Type Type 4 Type 4
Number of EPWM Channels 32 24
Number of EPWM channel with High-resolution capability (HRPWM) 16 16
MAX PWM INPUT CLK Frq 200 MHz 100 MHz
HRPWM Clocking HRPWM is clocked with their respective EPWM input clock All the HRPWM is always clocked by EPWM1 input clock
SYNC Scheme Generic Any-To-Any Scheme Daisy Chain
Configuration register for SYNC Select EPWMSYNCINSEL SYNCSELECT

In the new SYNC scheme, any ePWM SYNCOUT or ECAP can be selected as SYNC input for any ePWM module. There are no restrictions like those on F2837x. The new SYNC scheme breaks the code compatibility with F2837x, therefore, you need to modify the respective code while migrating between the F2837x and F2838x devices.

For more details on the ePWM module and new SYNC scheme, see the TMS320F2838x Microcontrollers Technical Reference Manual.
