EnDat Encoder Interface

The reference design uses an evaluation version of the EnDat IP core version 2.2 from Mazet to read from the EnDat absolute position encoder attached to the motor. The reference design configures the EnDat IP core to respond to the trigger output that the PWM generates and reads a new position value.

The EnDat IP core requires a strobe to capture a position reading at a time synchronized with the ADC interface. The reference design generates the EnDat strobe at the exact reversal point of the PWM without offset.

Note: The reference design connects the strobe signal between the EnDat and PWM in the top level Verilog HDL design, not in the Qsys system.
