NOTE
The waveform at the output is delayed by two core clock cycles for deadtime
insertion.

Top/Bottom Correction
In complementary mode, either the top or the bottom transistor controls the output voltage. However,
deadtime has to be inserted to avoid overlap of conducting interval between the top and bottom transistor.
Both transistors in complementary mode are off during deadtime, allowing the output voltage to be
determined by the current status of the load and introduce distortion in the output voltage. See
. On AC induction motors running open-loop, the distortion typically manifests itself as poor low-speed
performance, such as torque ripple and rough operation.
