The features of the eCAP module include:
- Speed measurements of rotating machinery (for example, toothed sprockets sensed
by way of Hall sensors)
- Elapsed time measurements between position sensor pulses
- Period and duty cycle measurements of pulse train signals
- Decoding current or voltage amplitude derived from duty cycle encoded current/voltage sensors
The eCAP module features described in this chapter
include:
- 4-event time-stamp registers (each 32 bits)
- Edge polarity selection for up to four sequenced time-stamp capture events
- Interrupt on either of the four events
- Single-shot capture of up to four event time-stamps
- Continuous mode capture of time stamps in a four-deep circular buffer
- Absolute time-stamp capture
- Difference (Delta) mode time-stamp capture
- All above resources are dedicated to a single input pin
- When not used in capture mode, the eCAP module can be configured as a single-channel PWM output
