MPC5744P eTimer 20MHz

[mark_registraci]

Hello,

I am having trouble setting eTimer on my MPC5744P board for frequency 20MHz. I followed example and I setup timer with this configuration, but I am getting signal with frequency 454kHz. IP Bus clock is MOT_CLK, am I right? If I'm wrong, is there any way to generate signal with such frequency?

INTC_0.PSR[611].R = 0x8001; // Set interrupt priority 1 for eTimer_0

ETIMER_0.ENBL.R = 0x0; // Disable all channels and their prescalers
ETIMER_0.CH[0].CTRL1.B.CNTMODE = 0x1; // Count on rising edge
ETIMER_0.CH[0].CTRL1.B.PRISRC = 0b11000; // IP Bus clock divided by 1 = 160MHz/1
ETIMER_0.CH[0].CTRL1.B.LENGTH = 0x1;
ETIMER_0.CH[0].COMP1.R = 1; // Compare value
ETIMER_0.CH[0].INTDMA.R = 0x0002; // Enable interrupt for COMP1
ETIMER_0.CH[0].CCCTRL.B.CMPMODE = 0b10; // COMP1 used
ETIMER_0.CH[0].CCCTRL.B.CPT1MODE = 0b01; // Capture event caused by falling edge

Thanks

Hi,

what is channel output mode setting (CTRL2[OUTMODE]). Is this set somehow?

Or do you control output pin by SW within eTIMER interrupt routine? If the latter one, then the observed signal frequency is quite reasonable.

Hello,

pin is controlled by SW in eTimer interrupt routine. So if I what to reach 20MHz, I should use OFLAG functionality?

Thanks

yes.
