The Charge Time Measurement Unit (CTMU) is a
flexible analog module that provides accurate differential
time measurement between pulse sources, as well
as asynchronous pulse generation. By working with
other on-chip analog modules, the CTMU can precisely
measure time, capacitance and relative changes in
capacitance or generate output pulses with a specific
time delay. The CTMU is ideal for interfacing with
capacitive-based sensors.
The module includes these key features:
• Up to 24 channels available for capacitive or time
measurement input
• On-chip precision current source
• Four-edge input trigger sources
• Polarity control for each edge source
• Control of edge sequence
• Control of response to edges
• Time measurement resolution of 1 nanosecond
• High-precision time measurement
• Time delay of external or internal signal
asynchronous to system clock
• Accurate current source suitable for capacitive
measurement
The CTMU works in conjunction with the A/D Converter
to provide up to 24 channels for time or charge
measurement, depending on the specific device and
the number of A/D channels available. When configured
for time delay, the CTMU is connected to one of
the analog comparators. The level-sensitive input edge
sources can be selected from four sources: two
external inputs or the ECCP1/ECCP2 Special Event
Triggers.
The CTMU special event can trigger the Analog-to-Digital
Converter module.
