1.2.15 1.3.17 1.5.16 1.32.18 Quadrature Decoder (PDEC)
The quadrature decoder (QDEC) mode is used to measure the position and speed of the motor. This provides below features:
-
Angular and revolution counts
-
Synchronous and asynchronous velocity measurements
-
Direction change detection
-
Interrupts/output events on:
-
Counter overflow/underflow
-
Velocity
-
Direction change
-
Using The Library
Quadrature encoder signals Phase A, Phase B and an optional index signal are connected to the PDEC peripheral. The PDEC peripheral processes these signals with an internal counter to get the angular position and revolution count.
For velocity measurement, velocity event output is connected to the TC module using the Event System.
Library Interface
Quadrature Decoder peripheral library provides the following interfaces:
