37.6 Functional Description
The PWM macrocell is primarily composed of a clock generator module and 4 channels.
– Clocked by the system clock, MCK, the clock generator module provides 13 clocks.
– Each channel can independently choose one of the clock generator outputs.
– Each channel generates an output waveform with attributes that can be defined
independently for each channel through the user interface registers.

Caution: Before using the PWM macrocell, the programmer must first enable the PWM clock in
the Power Management Controller (PMC).
The PWM macrocell master clock, MCK, is divided in the clock generator module to provide dif-
ferent clocks available for all channels. Each channel can independently select one of the
divided clocks.
The clock generator is divided in three blocks:
modulo n counter
MCK
MCK/2
MCK/4
MCK/16
MCK/32
MCK/64
MCK/8
