Note:
The waveforms in this document show the ePWMs behavior for a static compare register
value. In a running system, the active compare registers (CMPA and CMPB) are typically
updated from their respective shadow registers once every period. The user specifies when
the update will take place; either when the time-base counter reaches zero or when the
time-base counter reaches period. There are some cases when the action based on the new
value can be delayed by one period or the action based on the old value can take effect for
an extra period. Some PWM configurations avoid this situation. These include, but are not
limited to, the following:
Use up-down-count mode to generate a symmetric PWM:
•
If you load CMPA/CMPB on zero, then use CMPA/CMPB values greater
than or equal to 1.
•
If you load CMPA/CMPB on period, then use CMPA/CMPB values less than
or equal to TBPRD-1.
This means there will always be a pulse of at least one TBCLK cycle in a
PWM period which, when very short, tend to be ignored by the system.
Use up-down-count mode to generate an asymmetric PWM:
•
To achieve 50%-0% asymmetric PWM use the following configuration: Load
CMPA/CMPB on period and use the period action to clear the PWM and a
compare-up action to set the PWM. Modulate the compare value from 0 to
TBPRD to achieve 50%-0% PWM duty.
When using up-count mode to generate an asymmetric PWM:
•
To achieve 0-100% asymmetric PWM use the following configuration: Load
CMPA/CMPB on TBPRD. Use the Zero action to set the PWM and a
compare-up action to clear the PWM. Modulate the compare value from 0 to
TBPRD+1 to achieve 0-100% PWM duty.

Figure 2-20
shows how a symmetric PWM waveform can be generated using the up-down-count mode of
the TBCTR. In this mode 0%-100% DC modulation is achieved by using equal compare matches on the
up count and down count portions of the waveform. In the example shown, CMPA is used to make the
comparison. When the counter is incrementing the CMPA match will pull the PWM output high. Likewise,
when the counter is decrementing the compare match will pull the PWM signal low. When CMPA = 0, the
PWM signal is low for the entire period giving the 0% duty waveform. When CMPA = TBPRD, the PWM
signal is high achieving 100% duty.
