4.6
PWM controller
The PWM control function is implemented by the DC-DC converter PrimeCell
(PL160). Refer to the ARM
PrimeCell DC-DC Converter Interface (PL160) Technical
Reference Manual
for information about this device.
The DC-DC PrimeCell uses the 4MHz
IM_CLK
signal to supply the
DCDCCLK
reference clock. It can divide this by 16, 32, 128, or 304 to provide four possible
switching frequencies of 250kHz, 125kHz, 31.25kHz, and 13.158kHz.
The switching circuitry has turn on and turn off delays that limit the minimum pulse
width and can also affect the accuracy of the PWM, particularly at the higher switching
frequencies between 125kHz to 250kHz. The turn on and turn off delays for different
voltages are shown in Table 4-9.
