Figure 7-5 shows the detailed input synchronization selection (asynchronous, double-synchronous, or
double synchronous + filter width) for eCAPx.

7.2.1 Clock Enable Control for eCAPx Modules
Each of the eCAPx modules has a clock enable (ECAPxENCLK) which is controlled by its respective
Peripheral Power Down bit in the PSPWRDWNCLRx register of the PCR2 module. To properly reset the
peripherals, the peripherals must be released from reset by setting the PENA bit of the CLKCNTL register
in the system module. In addition, the peripherals must be released from their power down state by
clearing the respective bit in the PSPWRDWNCLRx register. By default, after reset, the peripherals are in
the power down state.

(1) The filter width is 6 VCLK3 cycles.
7.2.2 PWM Output Capability of eCAPx
When not used in capture mode, each of the eCAPx modules can be used as a single-channel PWM
output. This is called the Auxiliary PWM (APWM) mode of operation of the eCAPx modules. For more
information, see the eCAP module chapter of the device-specific TRM.
7.2.3 Input Connection to eCAPx Modules
The input connection to each of the eCAPx modules can be selected between a double-VCLK3-
synchronized input or a double-VCLK3-synchronized and filtered input, as listed in Table 7-8.
