Hey everyone,
I've got a strange problem in updating the TPM value registers and didn't found a solution yet. I read the datasheet of MC9S08DZ60 the nth time, looked for the errata sheet (3M05C) and of course searched in this forum but can't find exactly the same issue.
When I want to set up a EPWM with TPM1 on HCS08DZ60 and the channel interrupt is disabled (CHnIE = 0) but with timer overflow interrupt enabled (TOI = 1) I can set the TPM1CnV whenever I want to and the value is written to the register. But when I enable the channel interrupt I recognized that the value registers TPM1CnV are not updated although I wrote them. After some debugging I found out that the value is only written to TPM1CnV when TPM1CNT > TPM1CnV at the time I want to write to it. So when the pwm duty cycle is close to 100% the probability is very low to be between TPM1CnV and TPM1MOD to update the value.
I tried to set the value registers in endless loop of main() and to set it in the interrupt what makes no difference. I did the tpm1 overflow and channel interrupt acknowledge as described in datasheet and proposed by processor expert, e.g.
=> TPM1C3SC &=0x7F; or
=> (void)getReg8(TPM1C3SC); clrReg8Bits(TPM1C3SC, 0x80);
so it IS a two step sequence of reading and then writing the zero
So, what do I wrong? It's a fact, that when disabling CHnIE I can set the TPMxCnV whenever I want!
In datasheet section 16.3.5 it says:
"If (CLKSB:CLKSA not = 0:0 and in EPWM orCPWM modes), then the registers are updated after
the both bytes were written, and the TPM counter changes from (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL - 1)
to (TPMxMODH:TPMxMODL). If the TPM counter is a free-running counter then the update is
made when the TPM counter changes from 0xFFFE to 0xFFFF."
I cannot see any reason why the values are not written. Here the register settings:
// 1. Setting TPM1C3SC
TPM1C3SC = 0x68;
// 2. Setting TPM1SC (depending on desired frequency)
TPM1SC = 0x48;
// 3. Setting TPM1MOD (depending on desired frequency)
TPM1MOD = 40000;
// 4. Setting TPM1C3V
TPM1C3V = 20000;
Setting TPM1C3V the first time is always succesful because it's zero. Writing a zero when it has a value > 0 is always succesful, too!!
Hope to get an idea from you!
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
