56F8323 Resources

[v_dave]

Hello All,

I am new to the Freescale 56F8000E family of DSC's.  I am specifically interested in the 56F8323 for my project.  I am trying to understand how resources are used in the device.  For example:

on the 8323 the Quadrature Decoder appears to share resources with Quad Timer A.  If I enable the Quadrature Decoder how many of the timer channels are used?  If it is only 1 timer channel then can I use the other 3 timers for anything else?  Like a general polling timer that lets me know it time to go read an IO pin?

This type of information doesn't seem that evident in the databooks so I am hoping someone who  has actually developed on this device can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Timer modules in 56f8323 are work independent. But some of the channels connected to the input/output pins used by another modules. So if you use (for example) QuadDecoder - this module use 4 pins. This pins cann't be used by timer module to count EXTERNAL signals. But timer module still work and can count INTERNAL events, i.e. IP bus pulses.
