synchronous pulse width control (0% to 100% modulation) is supported. The device is capable of
controlling most motor types: ACIM (AC Induction Motors); both BDC and BLDC (Brush and Brushless
DC motors); SRM and VRM (Switched and Variable Reluctance Motors); and stepper motors. The PWM
incorporates fault protection and cycle-by-cycle current limiting with sufficient output drive capability to
directly drive standard optoisolators. A “smoke-inhibit”, write-once protection feature for key parameters
is also included. A patented PWM waveform distortion correction circuit is also provided. The PWM is
double-buffered and includes interrupt controls to permit integral reload rates to be programmable from 1
to 16. The PWM module provides reference outputs to synchronize the Analog-to-Digital Converters
through two channels of Quad Timer C.
The 56F8145 incorporates a Quadrature Decoder capable of capturing all four transitions on the two-phase
inputs, permitting generation of a number proportional to actual position. Speed computation capabilities
accommodate both fast- and slow-moving shafts. An integrated watchdog timer in the Quadrature Decoder
can be programmed with a time-out value to alert when no shaft motion is detected. Each input is filtered
to ensure only true transitions are recorded.
This controller also provides a full set of standard programmable peripherals that include two Serial
Communications Interfaces (SCIs); two Serial Peripheral Interfaces (SPIs); and two Quad Timers. Any of
these interfaces can be used as General Purpose Input/Outputs (GPIOs) if that function is not required. An
internal interrupt controller is also a part of the 56F8145.

(PE) provides a Rapid Application Design (RAD) tool that combines easy-to-use
component-based software application creation with an expert knowledge system.
The CodeWarrior Integrated Development Environment is a sophisticated tool for code navigation,
compiling, and debugging. A complete set of evaluation modules (EVMs) and development system cards
will support concurrent engineering. Together, PE, CodeWarrior and EVMs create a complete, scalable
tools solution for easy, fast, and efficient development.
