+# ePWM Generation, Interrupts, and Trip-Zone Protection on the TMS320F28379D
+
+This project demonstrates how to configure the enhanced Pulse Width Modulator (**ePWM**) peripheral of the Texas Instruments **TMS320F28379D** using two register-access methods. The implementation uses **CPU1 with C2000 bit-field structures** and **CPU2 with `HWREG()` / `HWREGH()` register access from driverlib**.
+
+The guide follows an incremental approach: begin with an almost-empty program, find the relevant peripheral registers in C2000Ware, configure one submodule at a time, and verify each result with an oscilloscope. The supplied source files serve as the initial examples; any identified concerns are documented at the end rather than being changed without notice.
+
+# 1. Hardware and software requirements
+
+- TMS320F28379D microcontroller or compatible board (confirm that the listed GPIOs are exposed); we are using the `LAUNCHXL-F28379D` board development kit.
+- Code Composer Studio (CCS), version 20.5.0 or above.
+- C2000Ware and its device-support headers and/or driverlib, or previously installed the `C2000Ware_26_00_00_00`.
+- Oscilloscope or logic analyzer to observe PWM and diagnostic GPIOs.
+- A safe logic-level input or suitable test switch for trip-zone experiments.
+- Initially **do not connect the PWM signals to power semiconductor gates**; verify the outputs and fault response at logic level.
+
+**Timing assumption:** the examples configure an ePWM module input clock of **100 MHz** and the time-base clock (`TBCLK`) of **50 MHz**. The device system clock, `EPWMCLKDIV`, `HSPCLKDIV`, and `CLKDIV` must agree with these assumptions.
+
+# 2. Project objectives and expected behavior
+
+The two source files are `pwm_cpu1_bitfield.c` and `pwm_cpu2_driverlib.c`.
+
+| CPU | ePWM | Outputs | Counter mode | Intended PWM frequency | Initial comparison |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| CPU1 | ePWM1 | GPIO0 / GPIO1 | Up-count (sawtooth counter) | 10 kHz | `CMPA = 1999`, approximately 40% |
+| CPU1 | ePWM2 | GPIO2 / GPIO3 | Up-down (triangular counter) | 5 kHz | `CMPA = 1750`, parameter `m = -0.3` |
+| CPU2 | ePWM4 | GPIO6 / GPIO7 | Up-count (sawtooth counter) | approximately 15 kHz | `CMPA = 1999`, approximately 60% |
+| CPU2 | ePWM5 | GPIO8 / GPIO9 | Up-down (triangular counter) | 4 kHz | code uses `m = +0.7`, subject to review |
+
+Additional tasks:
+
+- **ePWM1 interrupt:** intended at `TBCTR = 0`, once per PWM cycle; toggle **GPIO22**.
+- **ePWM5 interrupt:** intended at `TBCTR = 0` **and** `TBCTR = TBPRD`, twice per PWM cycle; toggle **GPIO52**.
+- **Trip-zone input:** GPIO97 is routed through Input X-BAR 1 as `TZ1` to request a one-shot shutdown of ePWM1, ePWM2, ePWM4, and ePWM5 outputs.
+- **Trip-zone ISRs:** CPU1 receives ePWM1/ePWM2 trip interrupts; CPU2 receives ePWM4/ePWM5 trip interrupts.
+
+The output pairs use the dead-band submodule. The two signals must be checked on the oscilloscope: *do not assume complementary outputs are safe for a power stage without measuring the dead time and fault behavior*.
+
+# 3. General program flow
+
+## CPU1
+
+1. Initialize system clocks and the interrupt controller.
+2. Select ePWM clock division and assign peripheral ownership across CPU1/CPU2.
+3. Enable the clock gates for ePWM1/ePWM2.
+4. Disable `TBCLKSYNC` while preparing the time-base counters.
+5. Configure time-base (`TB`), counter-compare (`CC`), action qualifier (`AQ`), and dead-band (`DB`).
+6. Configure event trigger (`ET`) for ePWM1 and trip zone (`TZ`) for ePWM1/ePWM2.
+7. Register the ePWM and trip-zone interrupt service routines.
+8. Configure GPIO0–GPIO3, diagnostic GPIO22, the GPIO52 ownership, and Input X-BAR from GPIO97.
+9. Clear initial interrupt/fault flags as appropriate **only after confirming the fault is inactive**.
+10. Enable synchronization after **both CPUs are ready**, then enter the main loop.
+
+## CPU2
+
+1. Initialize the interrupt controller and vector table.
+2. Enable the clock gates for ePWM4/ePWM5 on CPU2.
+3. Configure `TB`, `CC`, `AQ`, and `DB` with direct register operations.
+4. Configure the ePWM5 event-trigger interrupt and the ePWM4/ePWM5 trip zones.
+5. Register and enable the CPU2 interrupt paths.
+6. Signal configuration readiness to CPU1 using an explicit interprocessor synchronization mechanism.
+7. Enter the main loop.
+
+**Dual-core note:** CPU1 controls cross-CPU ownership selection and shared startup coordination. Independent writes to `TBCLKSYNC` from both programs do not constitute a reliable synchronization protocol.
+
+# 4.0 Create a dual CPU project ready for bitfield and driverlib 
+1. Open a new folder (6-epwm-example); not a workspace
+2. Import project from `C2000Ware_26_01_00_00`: `driverlib/f2837xd/examples/dual/empty_projects/css`
+3. Change project names
+  - `gpio_bitfield_cpu1`
+  - `gpio_driverlib_cpu2`
+- Change the `.c` files also
+
+# 4. Start from an almost-empty CPU1 program (bit-field approach)
+
+```c
+#include "F28x_Project.h"
+#include "driverlib.h"
+#include "device.h"
+
+__interrupt void epwm1_isr(void) { /* TODO */ }
+__interrupt void epwm1_trip_isr(void) { /* TODO */ }
+__interrupt void epwm2_trip_isr(void) { /* TODO */ }
+
+void main(void)
+{
+    // 1. Initialize the system and interrupts.
+    // 2. Select ePWM clocks and assign CPU ownership.
+    // 3. Enable ePWM1 and ePWM2 clocks.
+    // 4. Stop time-base synchronization.
+    // 5. Configure TB and CC.
+    // 6. Configure AQ and dead band.
+    // 7. Configure event triggers and trip zones.
+    // 8. Register and enable interrupts.
+    // 9. Configure PWM GPIOs, diagnostic pins, and X-BAR.
+    // 10. Confirm fault conditions and synchronize startup.
+    for (;;) {}
+}
+```
+
+The following sections progressively fill in these steps. Register names are those used in the **provided source**.
+
+## 5. CPU1: system initialization and peripheral ownership
+
+The provided source initializes the system and interrupt tables:
+
+```c
+InitSysCtrl();
+InitPieCtrl();
+IER = 0x0000;
+IFR = 0x0000;
+InitPieVectTable();
+```
+
+The CPU1 program sets the ePWM module input clock divisor and allocates the peripherals:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+ClkCfgRegs.PERCLKDIVSEL.bit.EPWMCLKDIV = 1;
+DevCfgRegs.CPUSEL0.bit.EPWM1 = 0;
+DevCfgRegs.CPUSEL0.bit.EPWM2 = 0;
+DevCfgRegs.CPUSEL0.bit.EPWM4 = 1;
+DevCfgRegs.CPUSEL0.bit.EPWM5 = 1;
+EDIS;
+```
+
+- `0` indicates CPU1 ownership and `1` indicates CPU2 ownership in these fields.
+- Establish peripheral ownership **before CPU2 configures its modules**.
+- Check the resulting `EPWMCLK` from the actual system clock and clock-divider settings.
+
+Enable the CPU1 modules and stop time-base synchronization during setup:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+CpuSysRegs.PCLKCR2.bit.EPWM1 = 1;
+CpuSysRegs.PCLKCR2.bit.EPWM2 = 1;
+CpuSysRegs.PCLKCR0.bit.TBCLKSYNC = 0;
+EDIS;
+```
+
+**Register research:** locate the definitions of `CPUSEL0`, `PCLKCR2`, `PCLKCR0`, and `PERCLKDIVSEL` in the F2837xD device headers. Record their bit fields and the clock/ownership dependencies.
+
+## 6. CPU1: time-base submodule (TB)
+
+The time-base submodule selects counter mode and defines the switching period.
+
+```c
+// ePWM1: up-count
+EPwm1Regs.TBCTL.bit.FREE_SOFT = 2;
+EPwm1Regs.TBCTL.bit.CLKDIV = 0;
+EPwm1Regs.TBCTL.bit.HSPCLKDIV = 1;
+EPwm1Regs.TBCTL.bit.PRDLD = 0;
+EPwm1Regs.TBCTL.bit.CTRMODE = 0;
+EPwm1Regs.TBPRD = 5000 - 1;
+
+// ePWM2: up-down count
+EPwm2Regs.TBCTL.bit.FREE_SOFT = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.TBCTL.bit.CLKDIV = 0;
+EPwm2Regs.TBCTL.bit.HSPCLKDIV = 1;
+EPwm2Regs.TBCTL.bit.PRDLD = 0;
+EPwm2Regs.TBCTL.bit.CTRMODE = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.TBPRD = 5000;
+```
+
+With the assumed clock:
+
+\[
+f_{TBCLK}=\frac{100\ \mathrm{MHz}}{2\cdot1}=50\ \mathrm{MHz}.
+\]
+
+For up-count mode, using a zero-based period register:
+
+\[
+f_{PWM}\approx\frac{f_{TBCLK}}{TBPRD+1}.
+\]
+
+For up-down mode:
+
+\[
+f_{PWM}=\frac{f_{TBCLK}}{2TBPRD}.
+\]
+
+Therefore:
+
+- ePWM1: `TBPRD = 4999` → **10 kHz**.
+- ePWM2: `TBPRD = 5000` → **5 kHz**.
+
+**Exercise:** use the oscilloscope to compare the PWM periods of the up-count and up-down examples. Explain why an up-down counter requires twice as many `TBCLK` ticks for a complete PWM period.
+
+## 7. CPU1: counter-compare submodule (CC)
+
+The compare register determines the positions of edges generated by the action qualifier.
+
+```c
+// ePWM1
+EPwm1Regs.CMPCTL.bit.SHDWAMODE = 0;
+EPwm1Regs.CMPCTL.bit.LOADAMODE = 0;
+EPwm1Regs.CMPA.bit.CMPA = 1999;
+
+// ePWM2
+EPwm2Regs.CMPCTL.bit.SHDWAMODE = 0;
+EPwm2Regs.CMPCTL.bit.LOADAMODE = 0;
+EPwm2Regs.CMPA.bit.CMPA =
+    (uint16_t)(((-0.3 + 1.0) / 2.0) * 5000);
+```
+
+For the *pre-dead-band ePWM1 A waveform* with high at zero and low at `CAU`, a useful nominal approximation is:
+
+\[
+D\approx\frac{CMPA}{TBPRD+1}=\frac{1999}{5000}\approx 0.40.
+\]
+
+The ePWM2 source defines an **initial modulation parameter**, not a continuously varying modulation signal:
+
+\[
+CMPA=\frac{m+1}{2}TBPRD,
+\qquad m=-0.3\Rightarrow CMPA=1750.
+\]
+
+The requested modulation range `-0.97` to `+0.97` appears in the source-file comments, but **the supplied example does not implement a time-varying modulation algorithm**. Students can later update `CMPA` periodically to implement one.
+
+**Exercise:** derive `CMPA` for `m = 0`, `m = +0.5`, and `m = -0.5`. Explain the waveform using the action-qualifier edge definitions; do not assume the modulation parameter is numerically equal to the final PWM duty cycle.
+
+## 8. CPU1: action-qualifier submodule (AQ)
+
+The action qualifier converts timer events into logic-level transitions.
+
+| Event | Description | Relevant fields |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ZRO` | Counter reaches zero | `AQCTLA.ZRO`, `AQCTLB.ZRO` |
+| `CAU` | Up-count reaches compare A | `AQCTLA.CAU`, `AQCTLB.CAU` |
+| `CAD` | Down-count reaches compare A | `AQCTLA.CAD`, `AQCTLB.CAD` |
+
+```c
+// ePWM1: initial high at zero, low at up-count CMPA
+EPwm1Regs.AQCTLA.bit.ZRO = 2;
+EPwm1Regs.AQCTLB.bit.ZRO = 2;
+EPwm1Regs.AQCTLA.bit.CAU = 1;
+EPwm1Regs.AQCTLB.bit.CAU = 1;
+
+// ePWM2: high on up CMPA, low on down CMPA
+EPwm2Regs.AQCTLA.bit.CAU = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.AQCTLB.bit.CAU = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.AQCTLA.bit.CAD = 1;
+EPwm2Regs.AQCTLB.bit.CAD = 1;
+```
+
+The source configures both **pre-dead-band A and B** paths with matching actions; the desired output polarity is subsequently generated using the dead-band polarity selection. Distinguish between *signals before dead band* and *physical ePWMxA/ePWMxB pins*.
+
+## 9. CPU1: dead-band submodule (DB)
+
+Dead band introduces timing separation between switching transitions. The supplied code selects two delay generators and a polarity arrangement:
+
+```c
+EPwm1Regs.DBCTL.bit.IN_MODE = 1;
+EPwm1Regs.DBCTL.bit.POLSEL = 2;
+EPwm1Regs.DBCTL.bit.OUT_MODE = 3;
+EPwm1Regs.DBRED.all = 100;
+EPwm1Regs.DBFED.all = 100;
+
+EPwm2Regs.DBCTL.bit.IN_MODE = 1;
+EPwm2Regs.DBCTL.bit.POLSEL = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.DBCTL.bit.OUT_MODE = 3;
+EPwm2Regs.DBRED.all = 250;
+EPwm2Regs.DBFED.all = 250;
+```
+
+For `TBCLK = 50 MHz`, assuming the dead-band counter uses the same clock and no additional division:
+
+\[
+t_{DB}=\frac{DBRED\text{ or }DBFED}{50\times10^6}.
+\]
+
+| Module | DBRED | DBFED | Nominal rising/falling delay |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| ePWM1 | 100 | 100 | 2 µs |
+| ePWM2 | 250 | 250 | 5 µs |
+
+**Exercise:** measure the time between relevant complementary output transitions. Confirm that no overlapping high pulses occur; also calculate whether the desired minimum pulse width can accommodate the chosen dead time.
+
+## 10. CPU1: ePWM1 event-trigger interrupt
+
+The supplied code generates an interrupt when the counter reaches zero, nominally once each 10 kHz PWM period:
+
+```c
+EPwm1Regs.ETSEL.bit.INTEN = 1;
+EPwm1Regs.ETSEL.bit.INTSEL = 1;
+EPwm1Regs.ETPS.bit.INTPRD = 1;
+```
+
+Register the handler and enable its PIE/CPU paths:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+PieVectTable.EPWM1_INT = &epwm1_isr;
+EDIS;
+PieCtrlRegs.PIEIER3.bit.INTx1 = 1;
+IER |= 0x4U;  // CPU interrupt group 3
+```
+
+The ISR from the source toggles GPIO22, clears the ePWM flag, and acknowledges PIE group 3:
+
+```c
+__interrupt void epwm1_isr(void)
+{
+    GpioDataRegs.GPATOGGLE.bit.GPIO22 = 1;
+    EPwm1Regs.ETCLR.bit.INT = 1;
+    PieCtrlRegs.PIEACK.bit.ACK3 = 1;
+}
+```
+
+Since each ISR **toggles** rather than emits a complete pulse, GPIO22 should have an idealized waveform frequency of **5 kHz**, even though the interrupt rate is **10 kHz**. This assumes the CPU can reliably service all interrupts.
+
+**Exercise:** measure GPIO22 independently from GPIO0 and identify the difference between PWM frequency, interrupt frequency, and toggle-output frequency.
+
+## 11. CPU1: one-shot trip-zone protection
+
+The supplied project routes GPIO97 through `INPUT1SELECT` and enables the `TZ1` one-shot source in both ePWM modules:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+InputXbarRegs.INPUT1SELECT = 97U;
+
+EPwm1Regs.TZSEL.bit.OSHT1 = 1;
+EPwm1Regs.TZCTL.bit.TZA = 2;
+EPwm1Regs.TZCTL.bit.TZB = 2;
+EPwm1Regs.TZEINT.bit.OST = 1;
+
+EPwm2Regs.TZSEL.bit.OSHT1 = 1;
+EPwm2Regs.TZCTL.bit.TZA = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.TZCTL.bit.TZB = 2;
+EPwm2Regs.TZEINT.bit.OST = 1;
+EDIS;
+```
+
+The `TZA = 2` and `TZB = 2` actions select **force-low** behavior for the corresponding ePWM outputs. The one-shot fault is designed to **latch** until software explicitly clears it.
+
+Enable both trip-zone interrupts:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+PieVectTable.EPWM1_TZ_INT = &epwm1_trip_isr;
+PieVectTable.EPWM2_TZ_INT = &epwm2_trip_isr;
+EDIS;
+PieCtrlRegs.PIEIER2.bit.INTx1 = 1;
+PieCtrlRegs.PIEIER2.bit.INTx2 = 1;
+IER |= 0x2U;  // CPU interrupt group 2
+```
+
+**Important protection rule:** the original CPU1 ISRs clear `TZCLR.INT` and `TZCLR.OST` immediately. This is not an adequate fault-latching strategy for an actual power converter. For a safe experiment, **record the fault and keep PWM inhibited** until the input is no longer active and a deliberate software restart has been performed. Do not automatically clear the one-shot latch within the trip ISR merely to resume operation.
+
+Also confirm GPIO97's input pad, multiplexing, and qualification are correctly configured on the selected board, and test the active polarity. Setting `INPUT1SELECT` alone does not fully document the external electrical behavior of that pin.
+
+## 12. CPU1: GPIO setup and startup
+
+The original program sets GPIO0–GPIO3 for ePWM1A/B and ePWM2A/B, GPIO22 for interrupt diagnostics, and GPIO52 for CPU2 diagnostics. For example:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAGMUX1.bit.GPIO0 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX1.bit.GPIO0 = 1;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAGMUX1.bit.GPIO1 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX1.bit.GPIO1 = 1;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAGMUX1.bit.GPIO2 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX1.bit.GPIO2 = 1;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAGMUX1.bit.GPIO3 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX1.bit.GPIO3 = 1;
+
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAGMUX2.bit.GPIO22 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX2.bit.GPIO22 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPADIR.bit.GPIO22 = 1;
+
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPBGMUX2.bit.GPIO52 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPBMUX2.bit.GPIO52 = 0;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPBDIR.bit.GPIO52 = 1;
+GpioCtrlRegs.GPBCSEL3.bit.GPIO52 = 2; // CPU2 ownership
+EDIS;
+```
+
+The supplied source also configures GPIO6–GPIO9 on CPU1 for ePWM4/ePWM5 output routing. Keep this separate from the CPU2 ePWM module configuration; **CPU ownership of an ePWM peripheral is not identical to ownership of an individual GPIO pin**.
+
+Before enabling `TBCLKSYNC`, ensure CPU2 configuration is complete, protective inputs are in an appropriate state, and initial flags are handled. The source currently ends with:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+CpuSysRegs.PCLKCR0.bit.TBCLKSYNC = 1;
+EDIS;
+for (;;) {}
+```
+
+A complete dual-core laboratory example should introduce a startup handshake so this action occurs only after both cores finish configuration.
+
+## 13. CPU2: start from an almost-empty program (HWREG approach)
+
+```c
+#include "driverlib.h"
+#include "device.h"
+
+__interrupt void epwm5_isr(void) { /* TODO */ }
+__interrupt void epwm4_trip_isr(void) { /* TODO */ }
+__interrupt void epwm5_trip_isr(void) { /* TODO */ }
+
+void main(void)
+{
+    // 1. Initialize CPU2 interrupt module and vector table.
+    // 2. Enable ePWM4 and ePWM5 peripheral clocks.
+    // 3. Configure time-base and counter-compare registers.
+    // 4. Configure action qualifiers and dead band.
+    // 5. Configure event triggers and trip zones.
+    // 6. Register and enable interrupts.
+    // 7. Notify CPU1 that CPU2 configuration is complete.
+    for (;;) {}
+}
+```
+
+For this section, the student should locate:
+
+- `hw_memmap.h`: peripheral base addresses such as `EPWM4_BASE`, `EPWM5_BASE`, `CPUSYS_BASE`.
+- `hw_epwm.h`: offsets such as `EPWM_O_TBCTL`, `EPWM_O_CMPA`, `EPWM_O_AQCTLA`, and `EPWM_O_TZCLR`.
+- `hw_sysctl.h`: clock-gate register offsets.
+- `hw_pie.h` and `hw_ints.h`: PIE register offsets and interrupt-vector identifiers.
+
+`HWREGH(address)` accesses a 16-bit register location, while `HWREG(address)` accesses a 32-bit register location. For `CMPA`, students should determine whether a 32-bit access covers both `CMPA` and `CMPAHR`; never assume an arbitrary bit mask or `|=` operation overwrites all intended compare bits.
+
+## 14. CPU2: initialize modules and configure the time base
+
+```c
+Interrupt_initModule();
+Interrupt_initVectorTable();
+
+EALLOW;
+HWREG(CPUSYS_BASE + SYSCTL_O_PCLKCR2) |= (uint32_t)0x18U;
+EDIS;
+
+// Time-base: values from the supplied CPU2 program
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_TBCTL) = 0xC080;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_TBCTL) = 0xC082;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_TBPRD) = 3333 - 1;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_TBPRD) = 6250;
+```
+
+The `TBCTL` register words encode free-run debug behavior, clock prescalers, and up/up-down counter selection. Students should **decode every bit field** using the TI technical reference manual before using these values.
+
+With `TBCLK = 50 MHz`:
+
+- ePWM4: `50 MHz / 3333 ≈ 15.0015 kHz`.
+- ePWM5: `50 MHz / (2 × 6250) = 4 kHz`.
+
+The CPU2 source also clears the `TBCLKSYNC` bit during configuration and sets it again at the end. In the final dual-core application, replace this unsynchronized startup behavior with a **CPU1-coordinated release**.
+
+## 15. CPU2: counter comparison and action qualifier
+
+The supplied code uses:
+
+```c
+// Configure CMPCTL shadow/load bits.
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_CMPCTL) &= 0xffefU;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_CMPCTL) &= 0xfffcU;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_CMPA) |= (uint32_t)0x07CF0000U;
+
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_CMPCTL) &= 0xffefU;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_CMPCTL) &= 0xfffcU;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_CMPA + 1) =
+    (uint16_t)(((0.7 + 1.0) / 2.0) * 5000);
+```
+
+The ePWM4 compare constant encodes `0x07CF = 1999` as the upper 16-bit comparison value. **Review** the `|=` access before using it repeatedly because it does not clear previous compare bits. The CPU2 ePWM5 line computes `4250` from a hard-coded `5000`, whereas its actual `TBPRD` is `6250`. If the intended formula is `(m + 1) × TBPRD / 2`, the result for `m = 0.7` should be **5312** after C conversion to an integer (the unrounded mathematical result is 5312.5). This is a source-code discrepancy to correct as a student exercise.
+
+The source configures the AQ registers with these writes:
+
+```c
+// ePWM4: high at ZRO, low at CAU
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLA) = 0;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLB) = 0;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLA) |= 0x0002U;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLB) |= 0x0002U;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLA) |= 0x0010U;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLB) |= 0x0010U;
+
+// ePWM5: high at CAU, low at CAD
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLA) = 0;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLB) = 0;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLA) |= 0x0020U;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLB) |= 0x0020U;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLA) |= 0x0040U;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_AQCTLB) |= 0x0040U;
+```
+
+**Exercise:** identify which bits correspond to the ZRO, CAU, and CAD fields, and reproduce the expected output-edge sequence before inserting dead band.
+
+## 16. CPU2: dead-band setup
+
+```c
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_DBCTL) = (uint16_t)0x1BU;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_DBRED) = 100;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_DBFED) = 100;
+
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_DBCTL) = (uint16_t)0x1BU;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_DBRED) = 250;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_DBFED) = 250;
+```
+
+These are the CPU2 register-word equivalents of the CPU1 dead-band setup. The intended delays are **2 µs** for ePWM4 and **5 µs** for ePWM5 under the assumed 50 MHz clock.
+
+## 17. CPU2: ePWM5 interrupt and GPIO52 diagnostic
+
+The provided CPU2 program writes:
+
+```c
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_ETSEL) |= (uint16_t)0xBU;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_ETPS) |= (uint16_t)0x1U;
+```
+
+`ETSEL = 0x000B` enables interrupt generation with selection `INTSEL = 3` (**counter zero OR counter period**). In up-down mode, this creates two selected events in one PWM cycle. `ETPS.INTPRD = 1` selects every event.
+
+```c
+__interrupt void epwm5_isr(void)
+{
+    HWREG(GPIODATA_BASE + GPIO_O_GPBTOGGLE) = (uint32_t)0x100000U;
+    HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_ETCLR) |= (uint16_t)0x1U;
+    HWREGH(PIECTRL_BASE + PIE_O_ACK) |= (uint16_t)0x4U;
+}
+```
+
+If all interrupts are serviced, two events per 4 kHz PWM cycle imply an **8 kHz interrupt rate** and a **4 kHz GPIO52 toggle waveform**. Real timing depends on CPU interrupt latency and system load.
+
+The PIE configuration in the supplied program is:
+
+```c
+Interrupt_register(INT_EPWM5, &epwm5_isr);
+HWREGH(PIECTRL_BASE + PIE_O_IER3) |= (uint16_t)0x10U;
+IER |= (uint16_t)0x4U;
+```
+
+The corresponding ePWM5 trip-zone interrupt belongs to PIE **group 2**, channel 5; ePWM4 trip-zone belongs to group 2, channel 4.
+
+## 18. CPU2: one-shot trip-zone configuration
+
+The CPU2 source selects `TZ1` for ePWM4/ePWM5, forces both PWM outputs low, and enables the OST interrupt:
+
+```c
+EALLOW;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_TZSEL) |= (uint16_t)0x100U;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_TZCTL) = (uint16_t)0xAU;
+HWREGH(EPWM4_BASE + EPWM_O_TZEINT) = (uint16_t)0x4U;
+
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_TZSEL) |= (uint16_t)0x100U;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_TZCTL) = (uint16_t)0xAU;
+HWREGH(EPWM5_BASE + EPWM_O_TZEINT) = (uint16_t)0x4U;
+EDIS;
+```
+
+The handlers are registered with:
+
+```c
+Interrupt_register(INT_EPWM4_TZ, &epwm4_trip_isr);
+Interrupt_register(INT_EPWM5_TZ, &epwm5_trip_isr);
+HWREGH(PIECTRL_BASE + PIE_O_IER2) |= (uint16_t)0x18U;
+IER |= (uint16_t)0x2U;
+```
+
+**Do not carry over the source's unconditional clearing of both `TZCLR.INT` and `TZCLR.OST` as an automatic restart strategy.** For a hardware-protection demonstration, first inspect the latched fault state, require the unsafe condition to be removed, then implement an explicit authorized reset procedure.
+
+## 19. Controlled test procedure
+
+1. **Clock verification:** confirm system clock, module clock, and time-base clock before relying on calculated frequencies.
+2. **CPU1, one module at a time:** observe GPIO0/1 at 10 kHz, then GPIO2/3 at 5 kHz. Measure duty cycle and dead time.
+3. **CPU2, one module at a time:** observe GPIO6/7 at about 15 kHz and GPIO8/9 at 4 kHz, after CPU ownership and startup coordination are established.
+4. **Interrupt diagnostics:** measure GPIO22 and GPIO52 and compare with the computed event rates.
+5. **Trip-zone test:** with no power switching stage connected, activate the fault input and verify all eight ePWM outputs are forced low and remain disabled while the one-shot latch is set.
+6. **Fault recovery test:** remove the fault, verify that recovery requires deliberate software action, and confirm outputs return only when commanded.
+
+Keep a table of *calculated values, measured values, percent error, and observations*. Use the same oscilloscope time base for corresponding before/after captures where feasible.
+
+## 20. Technical checks before final submission
+
+The following items are not silently corrected in this guide, because students should understand their cause and consequences.
+
+- **CPU2 `CMPA` access:** ePWM4 uses a bitwise `|=` for an existing compare register. A fresh assignment with an appropriate mask or field selection is preferable when a known numeric value is required.
+- **ePWM5 modulation inconsistency:** its compare formula uses `5000` while `TBPRD = 6250`. Derive and implement a period-consistent formula.
+- **Static rather than variable modulation:** both `m = -0.3` and `m = +0.7` are compile-time constants. A real variable modulation implementation needs an update algorithm and bounded comparisons.
+- **Fault protection:** one-shot latches must not be routinely cleared inside trip interrupts, especially with a connected power stage.
+- **GPIO97:** verify its actual input mapping and active signal polarity; include proper input configuration and conditioning for the selected hardware.
+- **Dual-core coordination:** CPU2 readiness and CPU1-controlled synchronization require a defined interprocessor handshake.
+- **CPU startup:** determine where CPU2 is booted and initialized in the system; the CPU1 source does not explicitly document a CPU2 boot handshake.
+- **Shared and peripheral clocks:** check per-CPU ePWM clock gates, ownership timing, and the state of `TBCLKSYNC` before using the output.
+- **Debug configuration:** test the intended behavior when execution is halted, considering `FREE_SOFT` and external-power safety requirements.
+- **Output-safe states:** force-low actions must be verified at *physical pins*, not inferred from register writes alone.
+
+## 21. Questions for students
+
+1. Which registers determine the ePWM counter frequency, count mode, and PWM output frequency?
+2. Why does up-down counting require twice the `TBPRD` count interval of up-count mode for the same output frequency?
+3. What is the distinction between counter comparison (`CMPA`) and action qualifier (`AQ`)?
+4. How do `DBRED`, `DBFED`, `IN_MODE`, and `POLSEL` affect complementary outputs?
+5. What are the expected interrupt rates and GPIO toggle-waveform frequencies for ePWM1 and ePWM5?
+6. Why is `TBCLKSYNC` disabled during configuration and why does its restoration need coordination between CPUs?
+7. What does a one-shot trip-zone latch do? What checks should occur before it is cleared?
+8. Why is `|=` risky when programming a register that should receive an entirely new comparison value?
+9. How would you replace a fixed modulation parameter with a slowly varying reference while preserving safe limits?
+10. How can an oscilloscope demonstrate that complementary PWM signals do not overlap?

+# Summary
+	- The Time Base Sub-module generates the carrier waveform and also sets the PWM frequency.
+	- The Event Trigger and Interrupt Sub-module generates interrupts and can also start converting measured analog signals to digital form.
+	- The Counter Compare Sub-module performs a fine comparison between the carrier waveform and four possible values that can be modulation signals or duty ratios.
+	- The Action Qualifier Sub-module can be used to decide what action (gating signals) to take based on comparison results.
+	- The Dead Band Sub-module can be used to insert a dead band between complementary gating signals to prevent a shoot-through fault.
+	- The Trip Zone Sub-module can turn off the gating signals based on fault feedback or user off signals.
+
+---
+# 2. Preparing the ePWM Module
+	- Before configuring the ePWM module, a few preparations need to be made.
+	- There is a maximum limit to the clock frequency that the ePWM module can accept as input. This differs from the processor's maximum clock (200 MHz).
+	- Since the ePWM module is shared, we must decide which CPU controls it. By default, it is CPU1.
+	- Once we decide which CPU controls the ePWM module, we must enable the clock signal to the ePWM module in the peripheral clock control register of that CPU.
+
+---
+# ePWM Clock Frequency
+/assets/clk 1.jpg
+size: contain
+	The maximum ePWM clock frequency is 100 MHz.
+	The maximum processor clock frequency is 200 MHz.
+
+---
+
+# ePWM Clock Divider
+## PERCLKDIVSEL Register
+/assets/epwm-reg-1.jpg
+size: contain
+	EPWMCLKDIV determines the ePWM clock divider.
+	EPWMCLKDIV = 0 → EPWMCLK = SYSCLK
+	EPWMCLKDIV = 1 → EPWMCLK = SYSCLK / 2
+	For SYSCLK = 200 MHz, use EPWMCLKDIV = 1.
+
+---
+
+# ePWM CPU Selection
+## CPUSEL0 Register
+/assets/epwm-reg-2.jpg
+size: contain
+	The ePWM modules can be controlled by CPU1 or CPU2.
+	By default, all ePWM modules are assigned to CPU1.
+	Bit = 0 → CPU1
+	Bit = 1 → CPU2
+
+---
+
+# ePWM Peripheral Clock
+## PCLKCR2 Register
+/assets/epwm-reg-3.jpg
+size: contain
+	Each ePWM module has an individual clock enable bit.
+	The controlling CPU must enable the corresponding peripheral clock.
+	Bit = 0 → Clock disabled
+	Bit = 1 → Clock enabled

+size: contain
+	TBCLKSYNC → Time-Base clock synchronization
+	GTBCLKSYNC → Global Time-Base clock synchronization
+	TBCLKSYNC = 1 → Start the ePWM Time-Base clocks.
+	GTBCLKSYNC = 1 → Start ePWM Time-Base clocks globally in synchronization.
+	GTBCLKSYNC overrides TBCLKSYNC.
+---
+# 3. Time Base Sub-module
+	The Time Base Sub-module sets up the carrier waveform through a counter similar to the timers in the previous section.
+	The timers in the Time Base Sub-module can count in different directions: up (sawtooth), down (reverse sawtooth), and up-down (triangular).
+	The Time Base Sub-module can synchronize with either an external pin or other ePWM modules.
+	The Time Base Sub-module cannot generate interrupts like the timers in the previous section.
+	The simplest example will use the Time Base Sub-module in combination with the Counter Compare Sub-module and the Action Qualifier Sub-module.
+
+---
+
+# Time Base Sub-module
+## TBPRD Register
+/assets/time-base-1.jpg
+	16-bit period register.
+	This period register is mirrored by default.
+	This means another register acts as a clone.
+	Any reads or writes to TBPRD are actually from or to the mirror register.
+	The mirror register's value is loaded into TBPRD at a scheduled time, so writing to TBPRD does not change the switching-cycle interval mid-cycle.
+
+---
+
+# Time Base Sub-module
+## TBCTL Register
+/assets/time-base-2.jpg
+	Bits 14–15 (FREE_SOFT) are similar to the timer. FREE = 1 implies a free-running timer.
+	Bits 10–12 (CLKDIV) provide the option of dividing EPWMCLK when generating slower switching-frequency gating signals.
+	Bits 7–9 (HSPCLKDIV) also provide the option of dividing EPWMCLK when generating slower switching-frequency gating signals.
+	Bit 2 (PHSEN), bits 4–5 (SYNCOSEL), bit 6 (SWFSYNC), and bit 13 (PHSDIR) are related to the synchronization feature.
+---
+
+# Time Base Sub-module
+## Counter Modes — CTRMODE
+
+/assets/time-base-3.jpg
+size: contain
+
+	Bits 0–1 (CTRMODE) determine how the counter will count.
+	CTRMODE = 0 (00): The counter counts upwards from 0 to the value in the period register, then returns to 0 and starts again.
+	CTRMODE = 1 (01): The counter counts downwards from the value in the period register to 0, then returns to the period value and starts again.
+	CTRMODE = 2 (10): The counter counts upwards from 0 to the value in the period register, then counts down to 0 and starts again.
+	CTRMODE = 3 (11): The counter is stopped (default).
+
+---
+
+# Time Base Sub-module
+## Period Load — PRDLD
+	Bit 3 (PRDLD) is the Period Load Bit.
+	This determines when to load the period mirror register value into the period register TBPRD.
+	By default, when we write to the PRD register, we write to the mirror register PRDM. This is shadow mode.
+	This feature prevents disturbances if a write to the period register occurs during a PWM cycle.
+	The change is reflected only when the counter becomes 0. This occurs at the end of a cycle (down mode) or at the beginning of a cycle (up and up-down modes).
+	Setting PRDLD to 1 enables immediate load mode, where any write to the period register takes effect immediately, even in the middle of a cycle.
+
+---
+
+# Time Base Sub-module
+## TBSTS Register
+/assets/time-base-4.jpg
+	The TBSTS register indicates the timer's status.
+	CTRDIR is a read-only bit. It is 0 if the counter is counting down and 1 if it is counting up.
+	The processor sets CTRMAX when the counter reaches the maximum value: 0xFFFF.
