Motor Control Pulse Width Modulator (MCPWM)

The MCPWM peripheral is a versatile PWM generator, which contains various submodules to make it a key element in power electronic applications like motor control, digital power and so on. Typically, the MCPWM peripheral can be used in the following scenarios:

  • Digital motor control, e.g. brushed/brushless DC motor, RC servo motor

  • Switch mode based digital power conversion

  • Power DAC, where the duty cycle is equivalent to a DAC analog value

  • Calculate external pulse width, and convert it into other analog value like speed, distance

  • Generate Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) signals for Field Oriented Control (FOC)

The main submodules are listed in the following diagram:

MCPWM Overview

  • MCPWM Timer: The time base of the final PWM signal, it also determines the event timing of other submodules.

  • MCPWM Operator: The key module that is responsible for generating the PWM waveforms. It consists of other submodules, like comparator, PWM generator, dead-time and carrier modulator.

  • MCPWM Comparator: The compare module takes the time-base count value as input, and continuously compare to the threshold value that configured by user. When the time-base counter is equal to any of the threshold value, an compare event will be generated and the MCPWM generator can update its level accordingly.

  • MCPWM Generator: One MCPWM generator can generate a pair of PWM waves, complementarily or independently, based on various events triggered from other submodules like MCPWM Timer, MCPWM Comparator.

  • MCPWM Fault: The fault module is used to detect the fault condition from outside, mainly via GPIO matrix. Once the fault signal is active, MCPWM Operator will force all the generators into a predefined state, to protect the system from damage.

  • MCPWM Sync: The sync module is used to synchronize the MCPWM timers, so that the final PWM signals generated by different MCPWM generators can have a fixed phase difference. The sync signal can be routed from GPIO matrix or from MCPWM Timer event.

  • Dead Time: This submodule is used to insert extra delay to the existing PWM edges that generated in the previous steps.

  • Carrier Modulation: The carrier submodule allows a high-frequency carrier signal to modulate the PWM waveforms generated by the generator and dead time submodules. This capability is mandatory if you need pulse transformer-based gate drivers to control the power switching elements.

  • Brake: MCPWM operator can set how to brake the generators when particular fault is detected. We can shut down the PWM output immediately or regulate the PWM output cycle by cycle, depends on how critical the fault is.

  • MCPWM Capture: This is a standalone submodule which can work even without the above MCPWM operators. The capture consists one dedicated timer and several independent channels. Each channel is connected to the GPIO, a pulse on the GPIO will trigger the capture timer to store the time-base count value and then notify the user by interrupt. Using this feature, we can measure a pulse width precisely. What’s more, the capture timer can also be synchronized by the MCPWM Sync submodule.

Resource Allocation and Initialization

As displayed in the diagram above, the MCPWM peripheral consists of several submodules. Each submodule has its own resource allocation, which is described in the following sections.

MCPWM Timers

You can allocate a MCPWM timer object by calling mcpwm_new_timer() function, with a configuration structure mcpwm_timer_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_timer() will return a pointer to the allocated timer object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no more free timers in the MCPWM group, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_timer() function will free the allocated timer object.

MCPWM Operators

You can allocate a MCPWM operator object by calling mcpwm_new_operator()() function, with a configuration structure mcpwm_operator_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_operator()() will return a pointer to the allocated operator object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no more free operators in the MCPWM group, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_operator()() function will free the allocated operator object.

MCPWM Comparators

You can allocate a MCPWM comparator object by calling mcpwm_new_comparator() function, with a MCPWM operator handle and configuration structure mcpwm_comparator_config_t as the parameter. The operator handle is created by mcpwm_new_operator()(). The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_comparator() will return a pointer to the allocated comparator object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no more free comparators in the MCPWM operator, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_comparator() function will free the allocated comparator object.

MCPWM Generators

You can allocate a MCPWM generator object by calling mcpwm_new_generator() function, with a MCPWM operator handle and configuration structure mcpwm_generator_config_t as the parameter. The operator handle is created by mcpwm_new_operator()(). The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_generator() will return a pointer to the allocated generator object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no more free generators in the MCPWM operator, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_generator() function will free the allocated generator object.

MCPWM Faults

There are two types of faults: A fault signal reflected from the GPIO and a fault generated by software. To allocate a GPIO fault object, you can call mcpwm_new_gpio_fault() function, with configuration structure mcpwm_gpio_fault_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_gpio_fault() will return a pointer to the allocated fault object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no more free GPIO faults in the MCPWM group, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

Software fault object can be used to trigger a fault by calling a function mcpwm_soft_fault_activate() instead of waiting for a real fault signal on the GPIO. A software fault object can be allocated by calling mcpwm_new_soft_fault() function, with configuration structure mcpwm_soft_fault_config_t as the parameter. Currently this configuration structure is left for future purpose. mcpwm_new_soft_fault() function will return a pointer to the allocated fault object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no memory left for the fault object, this function will return ESP_ERR_NO_MEM error. Although the software fault and GPIO fault are of different types, but the returned fault handle is of the same type.

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_fault() function will free the allocated fault object, this function works for both software and GPIO fault.

MCPWM Sync Sources

The sync source is what can be used to synchronize the MCPWM timer and MCPWM capture timer. There’re three types of sync sources: A sync source reflected from the GPIO, a sync source generated by software and a sync source generated by MCPWM timer event.

To allocate a GPIO sync source, you can call mcpwm_new_gpio_sync_src() function, with configuration structure mcpwm_gpio_sync_src_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_gpio_sync_src() will return a pointer to the allocated sync source object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no more free GPIO sync sources in the MCPWM group, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

To allocate a Timer event sync source, you can call mcpwm_new_timer_sync_src() function, with configuration structure mcpwm_timer_sync_src_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_timer_sync_src() will return a pointer to the allocated sync source object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, if a sync source has been allocated from the same timer before, this function will return ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE error.

Last but not least, to allocate a software sync source, you can call mcpwm_new_soft_sync_src() function, with configuration structure mcpwm_soft_sync_config_t as the parameter. Currently this configuration structure is left for future purpose. mcpwm_new_soft_sync_src() will return a pointer to the allocated sync source object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no memory left for the sync source object, this function will return ESP_ERR_NO_MEM error. Please note, to make a software sync source take effect, don’t forget to call mcpwm_soft_sync_activate().

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_sync_src() function will free the allocated sync source object, this function works for all types of sync sources.

MCPWM Capture Timer and Channels

The MCPWM group has a dedicated timer which is used to capture the timestamp when specific event occurred. The capture timer is connected with several independent channels, each channel is assigned with a GPIO.

To allocate a capture timer, you can call mcpwm_new_capture_timer() function, with configuration structure mcpwm_capture_timer_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_capture_timer() will return a pointer to the allocated capture timer object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no free capture timer left in the MCPWM group, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error. 1

Next, to allocate a capture channel, you can call mcpwm_new_capture_channel() function, with a capture timer handle and configuration structure mcpwm_capture_channel_config_t as the parameter. The configuration structure is defined as:

The mcpwm_new_capture_channel() will return a pointer to the allocated capture channel object if the allocation succeeds. Otherwise, it will return error code. Specifically, when there are no free capture channel left in the capture timer, this function will return ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND error.

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_del_capture_channel() and mcpwm_del_capture_timer() function will free the allocated capture channel and timer object accordingly.

Timer Operations and Events

Register Event Callbacks

The MCPWM timer can generate different events at runtime. If you have some function that should be called when particular event happens, you should hook your function to the interrupt service routine by calling mcpwm_timer_register_event_callbacks(). The callback function prototype is declared in mcpwm_timer_event_cb_t. All supported event callbacks are listed in the mcpwm_timer_event_callbacks_t:

The callback functions above are called within the ISR context, so they should not attempt to block (e.g., make sure that only FreeRTOS APIs with ISR suffix is called within the function).

The parameter user_data of mcpwm_timer_register_event_callbacks() function is used to save user’s own context, it will be passed to each callback function directly.

This function will lazy install interrupt service for the MCPWM timer without enabling it. It is only allowed to be called before before mcpwm_timer_enable(), otherwise the ESP_ERR_INVALID_STATE error will be returned. See also Enable and Disable timer for more information.

Enable and Disable Timer

Before doing IO control to the timer, user needs to enable the timer first, by calling mcpwm_timer_enable(). Internally, this function will:

  • switch the timer state from init to enable.

  • enable the interrupt service if it has been lazy installed by mcpwm_timer_register_event_callbacks().

  • acquire a proper power management lock if a specific clock source (e.g. PLL_160M clock) is selected. See also Power management for more information.

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_timer_disable() will put the timer driver back to init state, disable the interrupts service and release the power management lock.

Start and Stop Timer

The basic IO operation of a timer is to start and stop. Calling mcpwm_timer_start_stop() with different mcpwm_timer_start_stop_cmd_t commands can start the timer immediately or stop the timer at a specific event. What’re more, you can even start the timer for only one round, that means, the timer will count to peak value or zero, and then stop itself.

Connect Timer with Operator

The allocated MCPWM Timer should be connected with a MCPWM operator by calling mcpwm_operator_connect_timer(), so that the operator can take that timer as its time base, and generate the required PWM waves. Make sure the MCPWM timer and operator are in the same group, otherwise, this function will return ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG error.

Comparator Operations and Events

Register Event Callbacks

The MCPWM comparator can inform the user when the timer counter equals to the compare value. If you have some function that should be called when this event happens, you should hook your function to the interrupt service routine by calling mcpwm_comparator_register_event_callbacks(). The callback function prototype is declared in mcpwm_compare_event_cb_t. All supported event callbacks are listed in the mcpwm_comparator_event_callbacks_t:

The callback function will provide event specific data of type mcpwm_compare_event_data_t to the user. The callback function is called within the ISR context, so is should not attempt to block (e.g., make sure that only FreeRTOS APIs with ISR suffix is called within the function).

The parameter user_data of mcpwm_comparator_register_event_callbacks() function is used to save user’s own context, it will be passed to the callback function directly.

This function will lazy install interrupt service for the MCPWM comparator, whereas the service can only be removed in mcpwm_del_comparator.

Set Compare Value

You can set the compare value for the MCPWM comparator at runtime by calling mcpwm_comparator_set_compare_value(). There’re a few points to note:

Generator Actions on Events

Set Generator Action on Timer Event

One generator can set multiple actions on different timer events, by calling mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_timer_event() with variable number of action configurations. The action configuration is defined in mcpwm_gen_timer_event_action_t:

There’s a helper macro MCPWM_GEN_TIMER_EVENT_ACTION to simplify the construction of a timer event action entry.

Please note, the argument list of mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_timer_event() must be terminated by MCPWM_GEN_TIMER_EVENT_ACTION_END.

Set Generator Action on Compare Event

One generator can set multiple actions on different compare events, by calling mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_compare_event() with variable number of action configurations. The action configuration is defined in mcpwm_gen_compare_event_action_t:

There’s a helper macro MCPWM_GEN_COMPARE_EVENT_ACTION to simplify the construction of a compare event action entry.

Please note, the argument list of mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_compare_event() must be terminated by MCPWM_GEN_COMPARE_EVENT_ACTION_END.

Classical PWM Waveforms and Generator Configurations

This section will demonstrate the classical PWM waveforms that can be generated by the pair of the generators. The code snippet that is used to generate the waveforms is also provided below the diagram. Some general summary:

  • The Symmetric or Asymmetric of the waveforms are determined by the count mode of the MCPWM timer.

  • The active level of the waveform pair is determined by the level of the PWM with a smaller duty cycle.

  • The period of the PWM waveform is determined by the timer’s period and count mode.

  • The duty cycle of the PWM waveform is determined by the generator’s various action combinations.

Dead Time

In power electronics, the rectifier and inverter are commonly used. This requires the use of rectifier bridge and inverter bridge. Each bridge arm has two power electronic devices, such as MOSFET, IGBT, etc. The two MOSFETs on the same arm can’t conduct at the same time, otherwise there will be a short circuit. The fact is that, although the PWM wave shows it is turning off the switch, but the MOSFET still needs a small time window to make that happen. This requires an extra delay to be added to the existing PWM wave that generated by setting Generator Actions on Events.

The dead-time driver works like a decorator, which is also reflected in the function parameters of mcpwm_generator_set_dead_time(), where it takes the primary generator handle (in_generator), and returns a generator (out_generator) after applying the dead-time. Please note, if the out_generator and in_generator are the same, it means we’re adding the time delay to the PWM waveform in a “in-place” fashion. In turn, if the out_generator and in_generator are different, it means we’re deriving a new PWM waveform from the existing in_generator.

Dead-time specific configuration is listed in the mcpwm_dead_time_config_t structure:

备注

It is also possible to generate the required dead time by setting Generator Actions on Events, especially by controlling edge placement using different comparators. However, if the more classical edge delay-based dead time with polarity control is required, then the dead-time submodule should be used.

Classical PWM Waveforms and Dead Time Configurations

This section will demonstrate the classical PWM waveforms that can be generated by the dead-time submodule. The code snippet that is used to generate the waveforms is also provided below the diagram.

Carrier Modulation

The MCPWM operator has a carrier submodule that can be used if galvanic isolation from the motor driver is required (e.g. isolated digital power application) by passing the PWM output signals through transformers. Any of PWM 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 configure the carrier submodule, you can call mcpwm_operator_apply_carrier(), and provide configuration structure mcpwm_carrier_config_t:

Specifically, the carrier submodule can be disabled by calling mcpwm_operator_apply_carrier() with a NULL configuration.

Faults and Brake Actions

The MCPWM operator is able to sense external signals with information about failure of the motor, the power driver or any other device connected. These failure signals are encapsulated into MCPWM fault objects.

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.

Set Operator Brake Mode on Fault

The way that MCPWM operator reacts to the fault is called Brake. The MCPWM operator can be configured to perform different brake modes for each fault object by calling mcpwm_operator_set_brake_on_fault(). Brake specific configuration is passed as a structure mcpwm_brake_config_t:

Set Generator Action on Brake Event

One generator can set multiple actions on different brake events, by calling mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_brake_event() with variable number of action configurations. The action configuration is defined in mcpwm_gen_brake_event_action_t:

There’s a helper macro MCPWM_GEN_BRAKE_EVENT_ACTION to simplify the construction of a brake event action entry.

Please note, the argument list of mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_brake_event() must be terminated by MCPWM_GEN_BRAKE_EVENT_ACTION_END.

Register Fault Event Callbacks

The MCPWM fault detector can inform the user when it detects a valid fault or a fault signal disappears. If you have some function that should be called when such event happens, you should hook your function to the interrupt service routine by calling mcpwm_fault_register_event_callbacks(). The callback function prototype is declared in mcpwm_fault_event_cb_t. All supported event callbacks are listed in the mcpwm_fault_event_callbacks_t:

The callback function is called within the ISR context, so is should not attempt to block (e.g., make sure that only FreeRTOS APIs with ISR suffix is called within the function).

The parameter user_data of mcpwm_fault_register_event_callbacks() function is used to save user’s own context, it will be passed to the callback function directly.

This function will lazy install interrupt service for the MCPWM fault, whereas the service can only be removed in mcpwm_del_fault.

Register Brake Event Callbacks

The MCPWM operator can inform the user when it going to take a brake action. If you have some function that should be called when this event happens, you should hook your function to the interrupt service routine by calling mcpwm_operator_register_event_callbacks(). The callback function prototype is declared in mcpwm_brake_event_cb_t. All supported event callbacks are listed in the mcpwm_operator_event_callbacks_t:

The callback function is called within the ISR context, so is should not attempt to block (e.g., make sure that only FreeRTOS APIs with ISR suffix is called within the function).

The parameter user_data of mcpwm_operator_register_event_callbacks() function is used to save user’s own context, it will be passed to the callback function directly.

This function will lazy install interrupt service for the MCPWM operator, whereas the service can only be removed in mcpwm_del_operator.

Generator Force Actions

Software can override generator output level at runtime, by calling mcpwm_generator_set_force_level(). The software force level always has a higher priority than other event actions set in e.g. mcpwm_generator_set_actions_on_timer_event().

  • Set the level to -1 means to disable the force action, and the generator’s output level will be controlled by the event actions again.

  • Set the hold_on to true, the force output level will keep alive, until it’s removed by assigning level to -1.

  • Set the hole_on to false, the force output level will only be active for a short time, any upcoming event can override it.

Synchronization

When a sync signal is taken by the MCPWM timer, the timer will be forced into a predefined phase, where the phase is determined by count value and count direction. You can set the sync phase by calling mcpwm_timer_set_phase_on_sync(). The sync phase configuration is defined in mcpwm_timer_sync_phase_config_t structure:

Likewise, the MCPWM capture timer MCPWM Capture Timer can be synced as well. You can set the sync phase for the capture timer by calling mcpwm_capture_timer_set_phase_on_sync(). The sync phase configuration is defined in mcpwm_capture_timer_sync_phase_config_t structure:

    }
}

Capture

The basic functionality of MCPWM capture is to record the time when any pulse edge of the capture signal turns active. Then you can get the pulse width and convert it into other physical quantity like distance or speed in the capture callback function. For example, in the BLDC (Brushless DC, see figure below) scenario, we can use the capture submodule to sense the rotor position from Hall sensor.

Example of Brushless DC Motor Control with MCPWM

MCPWM BLDC with Hall Sensor

The capture timer is usually connected with several capture channels, please refer to howtoallocatecapturetimerandchannels#mcpwm-capture-timer-and-channels for resource allocation.

Register Event Callbacks

The MCPWM capture channel can inform the user when there’s a valid edge detected on the signal. You have to register a callback function to get the timer count value of the capture moment, by calling mcpwm_capture_channel_register_event_callbacks(). The callback function prototype is declared in mcpwm_capture_event_cb_t. All supported capture callbacks are listed in the mcpwm_capture_event_callbacks_t:

The callback function will provide event specific data of type mcpwm_capture_event_data_t, so that you can get the the edge of the capture signal in mcpwm_capture_event_data_t::cap_edge and the count value of that moment in mcpwm_capture_event_data_t::cap_value.

The callback function is called within the ISR context, so is should not attempt to block (e.g., make sure that only FreeRTOS APIs with ISR suffix is called within the function).

The parameter user_data of mcpwm_capture_channel_register_event_callbacks() function is used to save user’s own context, it will be passed to the callback function directly.

This function will lazy install interrupt service for the MCPWM capture channel, whereas the service can only be removed in mcpwm_del_capture_channel.

Enable and Disable Capture Timer

Before doing IO control to the capture timer, user needs to enable the timer first, by calling mcpwm_capture_timer_enable(). Internally, this function will:

  • switch the capture timer state from init to enable.

  • acquire a proper power management lock if a specific clock source (e.g. APB clock) is selected. See also Power management for more information.

On the contrary, calling mcpwm_capture_timer_disable() will put the timer driver back to init state, and release the power management lock.

Start and Stop Capture Timer

The basic IO operation of a capture timer is to start and stop. Calling mcpwm_capture_timer_start() can start the timer and calling mcpwm_capture_timer_stop() can stop the timer immediately.

Trigger a Software Capture Event

Sometime, the software also wants to trigger a “fake” capture event. The mcpwm_capture_channel_trigger_soft_catch() is provided for that purpose. Please note that, even though it’s a “fake” capture event, it can still cause an interrupt, thus your capture event callback function will get invoked as well.

Power Management

When power management is enabled (i.e. CONFIG_PM_ENABLE is on), the system will adjust the PLL, APB frequency before going into light sleep, thus potentially changing the period of a MCPWM timers’ counting step and leading to inaccurate time keeping.

However, the driver can prevent the system from changing APB frequency by acquiring a power management lock of type ESP_PM_APB_FREQ_MAX. Whenever the driver creates a MCPWM timer instance that has selected MCPWM_TIMER_CLK_SRC_PLL160M as its clock source, the driver will guarantee that the power management lock is acquired when enable the timer by mcpwm_timer_enable(). Likewise, the driver releases the lock when mcpwm_timer_disable() is called for that timer.

Likewise, Whenever the driver creates a MCPWM capture timer instance that has selected MCPWM_CAPTURE_CLK_SRC_APB as its clock source, the driver will guarantee that the power management lock is acquired when enable the timer by mcpwm_capture_timer_enable(). And will release the lock in mcpwm_capture_timer_disable().

IRAM Safe

By default, the MCPWM interrupt will be deferred when the Cache is disabled for reasons like writing/erasing Flash. Thus the event callback functions will not get executed in time, which is not expected in a real-time application.

There’s a Kconfig option CONFIG_MCPWM_ISR_IRAM_SAFE that will:

  1. Enable the interrupt being serviced even when cache is disabled

  2. Place all functions that used by the ISR into IRAM 2

  3. Place driver object into DRAM (in case it’s mapped to PSRAM by accident)

This will allow the interrupt to run while the cache is disabled but will come at the cost of increased IRAM consumption.

Thread Safety

The factory functions like mcpwm_new_timer() are guaranteed to be thread safe by the driver, which means, you can call it from different RTOS tasks without protection by extra locks.

No functions are allowed to run within ISR environment.

Functions that are not related to Resource Allocation, are not thread safe. Thus, you should avoid calling them in different tasks without mutex protection.

Different ESP chip series might have different number of MCPWM resources (e.g. groups, timers, comparators, operators, generators and so on). Please refer to the [TRM] for details. The driver won’t forbid you from applying for more MCPWM resources, but it will return error when there’s no hardware resources available. Please always check the return value when doing Resource Allocation.

Callback function and the sub-functions invoked by itself should also be placed in IRAM, users need to take care of this by themselves.
