Detailed Description

Pulse Counter (PCNT) Peripheral API.

This module contains functions to control the PCNT peripheral of Silicon Labs 32-bit MCUs and SoCs. The PCNT decodes incoming pulses. The module has a quadrature mode which may be used to decode the speed and direction of a mechanical shaft.

Function Documentation

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t PCNT_AuxCounterGet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

Get auxiliary counter value.

Parameters
[in] pcnt Pointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
Returns
Current auxiliary counter value.

Definition at line 392 of file em_pcnt.h .

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t PCNT_CounterGet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

Get pulse counter value.

Parameters
[in] pcnt Pointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
Returns
Current pulse counter value.

Definition at line 376 of file em_pcnt.h .

void PCNT_CounterReset ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

Reset PCNT counters and TOP register.

Note
Notice that special SYNCBUSY handling is not applicable for the RSTEN bit of the control register, so we don't need to wait for it when only modifying RSTEN. (It would mean undefined wait time if clocked by an external clock.) The SYNCBUSY bit will however be set, leading to a synchronization in the LF domain, with, in reality, no changes.
Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

Definition at line 140 of file em_pcnt.c .

References BUS_RegBitWrite() .

__STATIC_INLINE void PCNT_CounterSet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
uint32_t count
)

Set counter value.

Pulse counter is disabled while changing counter value, and re-enabled (if originally enabled) when counter value has been set.

Note
This function will stall until synchronization to low-frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when using an external clock to clock the PCNT module since stall time may be undefined in that case. The counter should normally only be set when operating in (or about to enable) pcntModeOvsSingle mode.
Parameters
[in] pcnt Pointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
[in] count Value to set in counter register.

Definition at line 422 of file em_pcnt.h .

References PCNT_CounterTopSet() .

void PCNT_CounterTopSet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
uint32_t count,
uint32_t top
)

Set the counter and top values.

The pulse counter is disabled while changing these values and reenabled (if originally enabled) when values have been set.

Note
This function will stall until synchronization to low-frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when an external clock is used for the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined. The counter should normally only be set when operating in (or about to enable) pcntModeOvsSingle mode.
Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in] count A value to set in the counter register.
[in] top A value to set in the top register.

void PCNT_Enable ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
PCNT_Mode_TypeDef mode
)

Set PCNT operational mode.

Notice that this function does not do any configuration. Setting operational mode is normally only required after initialization is done, and if not done as part of initialization or if requiring to disable/reenable pulse counter.

Note
This function may stall until synchronization to low-frequency domain is completed. For that reason, it should normally not be used when an external clock is used for the PCNT module, since stall time may be undefined.
Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in] mode An operational mode to use for PCNT.

Definition at line 270 of file em_pcnt.c .

void PCNT_FreezeEnable ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
bool enable
)

PCNT register synchronization freeze control.

Some PCNT registers require synchronization into the low-frequency (LF) domain. The freeze feature allows for several registers to be modified before passing them to the LF domain simultaneously, which takes place when the freeze mode is disabled.

Note
When enabling freeze mode, this function will wait for all current ongoing PCNT synchronization to the LF domain to complete (normally synchronization will not be in progress). However, for this reason, when using freeze mode, modifications of registers requiring the LF synchronization should be done within one freeze enable/disable block to avoid unnecessary stalling.
Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in] enable
  • True - enable freeze, modified registers are not propagated to the LF domain.
  • False - disables freeze, modified registers are propagated to LF domain.

Definition at line 355 of file em_pcnt.c .

void PCNT_Init ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
const PCNT_Init_TypeDef * init
)

Initialize the pulse counter.

This function will configure the pulse counter. The clock selection is configured as follows, depending on operational mode:

Notice that the LFACLK must be enabled in all modes, since some basic setup is done with this clock even if the external pin clock usage mode is chosen. The pulse counter clock for the selected instance must also be enabled prior to initialization.

Notice that pins used by the PCNT module must be properly configured by the user explicitly through setting the ROUTE register for the PCNT to work as intended.

Writing to CNT will not occur in external clock modes (EXTCLKQUAD and EXTCLKSINGLE) because the external clock rate is unknown. The user should handle it manually depending on the application.

TOPB is written for all modes but in external clock mode it will take 3 external clock cycles to sync to TOP.

Note
Initializing requires synchronization into the low-frequency domain. This may cause a delay.
Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in] init A pointer to the initialization structure.

)

Clear one or more pending PCNT interrupts.

Parameters

Definition at line 511 of file em_pcnt.h .

__STATIC_INLINE uint32_t PCNT_IntGetEnabled ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt )

Useful for handling more interrupt sources in the same interrupt handler.

Note
The event bits are not cleared by the use of this function.
Parameters
[in] pcnt Pointer to PCNT peripheral register block.
Returns
Pending and enabled PCNT interrupt sources. The return value is the bitwise AND combination of
  • the OR combination of enabled interrupt sources in PCNT_IEN_nnn register (PCNT_IEN_nnn) and
  • the OR combination of valid interrupt flags of the PCNT module (PCNT_IF_nnn).

Definition at line 537 of file em_pcnt.h .

Notice the LFACLK must be enabled, since some basic reset is done with this clock. The pulse counter clock for the selected instance must also be enabled prior to initialization.

Note
The ROUTE register is NOT reset by this function to allow for centralized setup of this feature.
Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.

void PCNT_TCCConfiguration ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
const PCNT_TCC_TypeDef * config
)

Set Triggered Compare and Clear configuration.

This function will configure the PCNT TCC (Triggered Compare and Clear) module. This module can, upon a configurable trigger source, compare the current counter value with the configured TOP value. Upon match, the counter will be reset and the TCC PRS output and TCC interrupt flag will be set.

Since there is a comparison with the TOP value, the counter will not stop counting nor wrap when hitting the TOP value, but it will keep on counting until its maximum value. Then, it will not wrap, but stop counting and set the overflow flag.

Parameters
[in] pcnt A pointer to the PCNT peripheral register block.
[in] config A pointer to the configuration structure to be applied.

Definition at line 577 of file em_pcnt.h .

void PCNT_TopBufferSet ( PCNT_TypeDef * pcnt,
