Motor Control Pulse Width Modulator (MCPWM)

ESP32 has two MCPWM units which can be used to control different types of motors. Each unit has three pairs of PWM outputs.

MCPWM Overview

Further in documentation the outputs of a single unit are labeled PWMxA / PWMxB.

More detailed block diagram of the MCPWM unit is shown below. Each A/B pair may be clocked by any one of the three timers Timer 0, 1 and 2. The same timer may be used to clock more than one pair of PWM outputs. Each unit is also able to collect inputs such as SYNC SIGNALS, detect FAULT SIGNALS like motor overcurrent or overvoltage, as well as obtain feedback with CAPTURE SIGNALS on e.g. a rotor position.

MCPWM Block Diagram

Description of this API starts with configuration of MCPWM’s Timer and Generator submodules to provide the basic motor control functionality. Then it discusses more advanced submodules and functionalities of a Fault Handler, signal Capture and Carrier.

Configure

The scope of configuration depends on the motor type, in particular how many outputs and inputs are required, and what will be the sequence of signals to drive the motor.

In this case we will describe a simple configuration to control a brushed DC motor that is using only some of the available MCPWM’s resources. An example circuit is shown below. It includes a H-Bridge to switch polarization of a voltage applied to the motor (M) and to provide sufficient current to drive it.

Example of Brushed DC Motor Control with MCPWM

Configuration covers the following steps:

Selection of a MCPWM unit that will be used to drive the motor. There are two units available on-board of ESP32 and enumerated in mcpwm_unit_t.
Initialization of two GPIOs as output signals within selected unit by calling mcpwm_gpio_init(). The two output signals are typically used to command the motor to rotate right or left. All available signal options are listed in mcpwm_io_signals_t. To set more than a single pin at a time, use function mcpwm_set_pin() together with mcpwm_pin_config_t.
Selection of a timer. There are three timers available within the unit. The timers are listed in mcpwm_timer_t.
Setting of the timer frequency and initial duty within mcpwm_config_t structure.
Setting timer resolution if necessary, by calling mcpwm_group_set_resolution() and mcpwm_timer_set_resolution()
Calling of mcpwm_init() with the above parameters to make the configuration effective.

Operate

To operate a motor connected to the MCPWM unit, e.g. turn it left or right, or vary the speed, we should apply some control signals to the unit’s outputs. The outputs are organized into three pairs. Within a pair they are labeled “A” and “B” and each driven by a submodule called an “Generator”. To provide a PWM signal, the Operator itself, which contains two Generator, should be clocked by one of three available Timers. To make the API simpler, each Timer is automatically associated by the API to drive an Operator of the same index, e.g. Timer 0 is associated with Operator 0.

There are the following basic ways to control the outputs:

We can drive particular signal steady high or steady low with function mcpwm_set_signal_high() or mcpwm_set_signal_low(). This will make the motor to turn with a maximum speed or stop. Depending on selected output A or B the motor will rotate either right or left.
Another option is to drive the outputs with the PWM signal by calling mcpwm_start() or mcpwm_stop(). The motor speed will be proportional to the PWM duty.
To vary PWM’s duty call mcpwm_set_duty() and provide the duty value in %. Optionally, you may call mcpwm_set_duty_in_us(), if you prefer to set the duty in microseconds. Checking of currently set value is possible by calling mcpwm_get_duty(). Phase of the PWM signal may be altered by calling mcpwm_set_duty_type(). The duty is set individually for each A and B output using mcpwm_generator_t in specific function calls. The duty value refers either to high or low output signal duration. This is configured when calling mcpwm_init(), as discussed in section Configure, and selecting one of options from mcpwm_duty_type_t.

Note

Call function mcpwm_set_duty_type() every time after mcpwm_set_signal_high() or mcpwm_set_signal_low() to resume with previously set duty cycle.

Adjust

There are couple of ways to adjust a signal on the outputs and changing how the motor operates.

Set specific PWM frequency by calling mcpwm_set_frequency(). This may be required to adjust to electrical or mechanical characteristics of particular motor and driver. To check what frequency is set, use function mcpwm_get_frequency().
Introduce a dead time between outputs A and B when they are changing the state to reverse direction of the motor rotation. This is to make up for on/off switching delay of the motor driver FETs. The dead time options are defined in mcpwm_deadtime_type_t and enabled by calling mcpwm_deadtime_enable(). To disable this functionality call mcpwm_deadtime_disable().
Synchronize outputs of operator submodules, e.g. to get raising edge of PWM0A/B and PWM1A/B to start exactly at the same time, or shift them between each other by a given phase. Synchronization is triggered by SYNC SIGNALS shown on the block diagram of the MCPWM above, and defined in mcpwm_sync_signal_t. To attach the signal to a GPIO call mcpwm_gpio_init(). You can then enable synchronization with function mcpwm_sync_configure(). As input parameters provide MCPWM unit, timer to synchronize, the synchronization signal and a phase to delay the timer.

Note

Synchronization signals are referred to using two different enumerations. First one mcpwm_io_signals_t is used together with function mcpwm_gpio_init() when selecting a GPIO as the signal input source. The second one mcpwm_sync_signal_t is used when enabling or disabling synchronization with mcpwm_sync_configure() or mcpwm_sync_disable().

Vary the pattern of the A/B output signals by getting MCPWM counters to count up, down and up/down (automatically changing the count direction). Respective configuration is done when calling mcpwm_init(), as discussed in section Configure, and selecting one of counter types from mcpwm_counter_type_t. For explanation of how A/B PWM output signals are generated, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > Motor Control PWM (MCPWM) [PDF].

Synchronize

Each PWM timer has a synchronization input and a synchronization output. The synchronization input can be selected from other timers’ synchronization outputs or GPIO signals via the GPIO matrix. Timer’s synchronization signal can be generated from either the input sync signal or when the count value reaches peak/zero. Thus, the PWM timers can be chained together with their phase-locked. During synchronization, the PWM timer clock prescaler will reset its counter in order to synchronize the PWM timer clock.

The functionality is enabled in following steps:

Make sure the PWM timer and operator are already configured so that sync will inherit its config (count mode, freq and duty).
Enabling sync input of the timer by invoking mcpwm_sync_configure(), selecting desired signal input from mcpwm_sync_signal_t, and setting the desired phase range from 0 to 999 which is mapped to 0%~99.9%. 0 means zero phase is applied and output is fired at the same time. And selecting desired counting direction.
Enabling one of sync event source from another timer or from external GPIO input.

To sync with another timer:

Enabling sync output of another timer by invoking mcpwm_set_timer_sync_output() and selecting desired event to generate sync output from mcpwm_timer_sync_trigger_t.

To sync with GPIO positive edge input (negative edge requires mcpwm_sync_invert_gpio_synchro()):

Configuring GPIOs to act as the sync signal inputs by calling functions mcpwm_gpio_init() or mcpwm_set_pin(), which were described in section Configure.

It’s normal condition that chained sync signal may have tens or even hundreds of nanoseconds of delay between each timer output due to hardware limitation. To sync two timers accurately it is required to have the third timer occupied to produce sync event that can be consumed parallel by other two timer, so that those two timer will have no delay between each other but have the same delay between the timer which provides events. Another solution is introducing an external GPIO event source so that all three timers can be synced together with no delay.

If not required anymore, the capture functionality may be disabled with mcpwm_sync_disable().

Capture

One of requirements of BLDC (Brushless DC, see figure below) motor control is sensing of the rotor position. To facilitate this task each MCPWM unit provides three sensing inputs together with dedicated hardware. The hardware is able to detect the input signal’s edge and measure time between signals. As result the control software is simpler and the CPU power may be used for other tasks.

Example of Brushless DC Motor Control with MCPWM

The capture functionality may be used for other types of motors or tasks. The functionality is enabled in two steps:

Configuration of GPIOs to act as the capture signal inputs by calling functions mcpwm_gpio_init() or mcpwm_set_pin(), that were described in section Configure.
Enabling of the functionality itself by invoking mcpwm_capture_enable_channel(), selecting desired signal input from mcpwm_capture_channel_id_t, setting the signal edge, signal count prescaler and user callback within mcpwm_capture_config_t

Within the second step above a 32-bit capture timer is enabled. The timer runs continuously driven by the APB clock. The clock frequency is typically 80 MHz. On each capture event the capture timer’s value is stored in time-stamp register that may be then checked by calling mcpwm_capture_signal_get_value(). The edge of the last signal may be checked with mcpwm_capture_signal_get_edge(). Those data are also provided inside callback function as event data cap_event_data_t

If not required anymore, the capture functionality may be disabled with mcpwm_capture_disable_channel().

Capture prescale is different from other modules as it is applied to the input signal, not the timer source. Prescaler has maintained its own level state with the initial value set to low and is detecting the positive edge of the input signal to change its internal state. That means if two pairs of positive and negative edges are passed to input, the prescaler’s internal state will change twice. ISR will report on this internal state change, not the input signal. For example, setting prescale to 2 will generate ISR callback on each positive edge of input if both edge is selected via mcpwm_capture_config_t. Or each 2 positive edges of input if only one edge is selected though mcpwm_capture_config_t.

Fault Handler

Each unit of the MCPWM is able to sense external signals with information about failure of the motor, the motor driver or any other device connected to the MCPWM. There are three fault inputs per unit that may be routed to user selectable GPIOs. The MCPWM may be configured to perform one of four predefined actions on A/B outputs when a fault signal is received:

lock current state of the output
set the output low
set the output high
toggle the output

The user should determine possible failure modes of the motor and what action should be performed on detection of particular fault, e.g. drive all outputs low for a brushed motor, or lock current state for a stepper motor, etc. As result of this action the motor should be put into a safe state to reduce likelihood of a damage caused by the fault.

The fault handler functionality is enabled in two steps:

Configuration of GPIOs to act as fault signal inputs. This is done in analogous way as described for capture signals in section above. It includes setting the signal level to trigger the fault as defined in mcpwm_fault_input_level_t.
Initialization of the fault handler by calling either mcpwm_fault_set_oneshot_mode() or mcpwm_fault_set_cyc_mode(). These functions set the mode that MCPWM should operate once fault signal becomes inactive. There are two modes possible:

State of MCPWM unit will be locked until reset - mcpwm_fault_set_oneshot_mode().

The MCPWM will resume operation once fault signal becoming inactive - mcpwm_fault_set_cyc_mode().

The function call parameters include selection of one of three fault inputs defined in mcpwm_fault_signal_t and specific action on outputs A and B defined in mcpwm_action_on_pwmxa_t and mcpwm_action_on_pwmxb_t.

Particular fault signal may be disabled at the runtime by calling mcpwm_fault_deinit().

Carrier

The MCPWM has a carrier submodule used if galvanic isolation from the motor driver is required by passing the A/B output signals through transformers. Any of A and B output signals may be at 100% duty and not changing whenever motor is required to run steady at the full load. Coupling of non alternating signals with a transformer is problematic, so the signals are modulated by the carrier submodule to create an AC waveform, to make the coupling possible.

To use the carrier submodule, it should be first initialized by calling mcpwm_carrier_init(). The carrier parameters are defined in mcpwm_carrier_config_t structure invoked within the function call. Then the carrier functionality may be enabled by calling mcpwm_carrier_enable().

The carrier parameters may be then altered at a runtime by calling dedicated functions to change individual fields of the mcpwm_carrier_config_t structure, like mcpwm_carrier_set_period(), mcpwm_carrier_set_duty_cycle(), mcpwm_carrier_output_invert(), etc.

This includes enabling and setting duration of the first pulse of the career with mcpwm_carrier_oneshot_mode_enable(). For more details, see ESP32 Technical Reference Manual > Motor Control PWM (MCPWM) > PWM Carrier Submodule [PDF].

To disable carrier functionality call mcpwm_carrier_disable().

Interrupts

Registering of the MCPWM interrupt handler is possible by calling mcpwm_isr_register(). Note if mcpwm_capture_enable_channel() is used then a default ISR routine will be installed hence please do not call this function to register any more.

Resolution

The default resolution for MCPWM group and MCPWM timer are configured to 10MHz and 1MHz in mcpwm_init(), which might be not enough for some applications. The driver also provides two APIs that can be used to override the default resolution: mcpwm_group_set_resolution() and mcpwm_timer_set_resolution().

Note that, these two APIs won’t update the frequency and duty automatically, to achieve that, one has to call mcpwm_set_frequency() and mcpwm_set_duty() accordingly.

To get PWM pulse that is below 15Hz, please set the resolution to a lower value. For high frequency PWM with limited step range, please set them with higher value.
