Generic Timer Module (GTM) IP

The GTM-IP module forms a generic timer platform for complex applications in the automotive industry like power train, power steering, chassis and transmission control. To serve these different application domains the GTM provides a wide range of timer functions like:

• Counters (free running and reset counter)
• Multi-action capture/compare
• PWM input
• Complex PWM output functionality
• Duty-cycle measurement
• Global time bases
• Digital phase locked loop (dPLL)
• Input signal filtering
• Angle counter and prediction capabilities BLDC support

The GTM-IP is designed to offer flexible solutions for different application domains and different application classes within one specific application domain. This goal is reached by a combination of several dedicated submodules realizing specific functions and combining them through a flexible interconnection scheme to form a complex timer platform.

Generic interfaces and the hierarchical system architecture make the GTM an ideal solution as valuable IP core for different microcontroller architectures to serve a broader range of application domains, thus increasing the number of sold pieces.

The GTM-IP module deliverable set is comprised of the module implementation, basic software, a test environment with test bench, integration tests and documentation. Additionally, a SystemC-based executable model of the GTM is provided to support testing and early software development for the GTM-IP. Documentation consists of the specification, users and IP integration guides, application notes and verification reports.
