eTPU Operation Overview
The eTPU is a real-time microprocessed subsystem. Therefore it runs microengine code from instruction
memory (SCM) to handle specific events and accesses data memory (SDM) for parameters, work data, and
application state information. Events may originate from I/O channels (due to pin transitions and/or time
base matches), MPC5553/MPC5554 core requests, or inter-channel requests. Events that call for local
eTPU processing activate the microengine by issuing a service request. The service request microcode
may send an interrupt to the MPC5553/MPC5554 core, but the core cannot be directly interrupted by I/O
channel events.
Each channel is associated with a function that defines its behavior. A function is a software entity
consisting of a set of microengine routines, called threads, that respond to eTPU service requests. Function
routines, which reside in the SCM, are also responsible for channel configuration. A function may be
