C28 Enhanced Pulse Width Modulator (ePWM) Module
7.2.5 Dead-Band Generator (DB) Submodule
illustrates the dead-band submodule within the ePWM module.

7.2.5.1
Purpose of the Dead-Band Submodule
The "Action-qualifier (AQ) Module" section discussed how it is possible to generate the required dead-
band by having full control over edge placement using both the CMPA and CMPB resources of the ePWM
module. However, if the more classical edge delay-based dead-band with polarity control is required, then
the dead-band submodule described here should be used.
The key functions of the dead-band module are:
•
Generating appropriate signal pairs (EPWMxA and EPWMxB) with dead-band relationship from a
single EPWMxA input
•
Programming signal pairs for:
–
Active high (AH)
–
Active low (AL)
–
Active high complementary (AHC)
–
Active low complementary (ALC)
•
Adding programmable delay to rising edges (RED)
•
Adding programmable delay to falling edges (FED)
•
Can be totally bypassed from the signal path (note dotted lines in diagram)

Dead band Submodule Additonal Operating Modes
On type 1 ePWM RED could appear on one channel output and FED could appear on the other channel
output.
The following list shows the distinct difference between type 1 and type 2 modules with respect to Dead
Band operating modes
