ePWM
C2000 Microcontroller Workshop - Control Peripherals
7 - 25
The PWM chopper sub-module uses a high-frequency carrier signal to modulate the PWM
waveform. This is used with pulsed transformer-based gate drives to control power-switching
elements.
Purpose of the PWM Chopper
Allows a high frequency carrier
signal to modulate the PWM
waveform generated by the Action
Qualifier and Dead-Band modules
Used with pulse transformer-based
gate drivers to control power
switching elements
As you can see in this figure, a high-frequency carrier signal is ANDed with the ePWM outputs.
Also, this circuit provides an option to include a larger, one-shot pulse width before the sustaining
pulses.
