21.5.24 PWMnDBFALL Register [reset = 0x0]
PWM0 Dead-Band Falling-Edge-Delay (PWM0DBFALL), offset 0x070
PWM1 Dead-Band Falling-Edge-Delay (PWM1DBFALL), offset 0x0B0
PWM2 Dead-Band Falling-Edge-Delay (PWM2DBFALL), offset 0x0F0
PWM3 Dead-Band Falling-Edge-Delay (PWM3DBFALL), offset 0x130
The PWMnDBFALL register contains the number of clock cycles to delay the rising edge of the pwmB'
signal from the falling edge of the pwmA signal. If the dead-band generator is disabled through the
PWMnDBCTL register, this register is ignored. If the value of this register is larger than the width of a Low
pulse on the pwmA signal, the falling-edge delay consumes the entire Low time of the signal, resulting in
no Low time on the output. Care must be taken to ensure that the pwmA Low time always exceeds the
falling-edge delay.
If the Dead-Band Falling-Edge-Delay mode is immediate (based on the DBFALLUP field encoding in the
PWMnCTL register), the 12-bit FALLDELAY value is used immediately. If the update mode is locally
synchronized, this value is used the next time the counter reaches zero. If the update mode is globally
synchronized, this value is used the next time the counter reaches zero after a synchronous update has
been requested through the PWM Master Control (PWMCTL) register (see
). If this register
is rewritten before the actual update occurs, the previous value is never used and is lost.
