Operational Highlights for the Dead-Band Submodule
The following sections provide the operational highlights.
The dead-band submodule has two groups of independent selection options as shown in
.
•
Input Source Selection:
The input signals to the dead-band module are the EPWMxA and EPWMxB output signals from the
action-qualifier. In this section they will be referred to as EPWMxA In and EPWMxB In. Using the
DBCTL[IN_MODE) control bits, the signal source for each delay, falling-edge or rising-edge, can be
selected:
–
EPWMxA In is the source for both falling-edge and rising-edge delay. This is the default mode.
–
EPWMxA In is the source for falling-edge delay, EPWMxB In is the source for rising-edge delay.
–
EPWMxA In is the source for rising edge delay, EPWMxB In is the source for falling-edge delay.
–
EPWMxB In is the source for both falling-edge and rising-edge delay.
•
Half Cycle Clocking:
The dead-band submodule can be clocked using half cycle clocking to double the resolution (i.e.
counter clocked at 2× TBCLK)
•
Output Mode Control:
The output mode is configured by way of the DBCTL[OUT_MODE] bits. These bits determine if the
falling-edge delay, rising-edge delay, neither, or both are applied to the input signals.
•
Polarity Control:
The polarity control (DBCTL[POLSEL]) allows you to specify whether the rising-edge delayed signal
and/or the falling-edge delayed signal is to be inverted before being sent out of the dead-band
submodule.
