Design Guide: TIDM-1011
Tamagawa T-Format Absolute-Encoder Master Interface
Reference Design for C2000™ MCUs
Description
C2000
™
microcontroller (MCU) Position Manager
technology offers an integrated solution to interface to
the most popular digital- and analog-position sensors,
which eliminates the necessity for external field-
programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) or application-
specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The Position
Manager BoosterPack
™
platform intended for evaluating various encoder
interfaces and is designed to work with multiple
C2000 MCU LaunchPad
™
software of this reference design specifically targets
implementation of the T-Format, which is a digital,
bidirectional interface for position encoders. The
highly optimized and easy-to-use software reference
implementation and examples included in this
reference design enable T-Format, position-encoder
operation using the Position Manager BoosterPack.
