ePWM Submodules

Dead-Band Generator (DB) Submodule
illustrates the dead-band submodule within the ePWM module.

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)

Controlling and Monitoring the Dead-Band Submodule
The dead-band submodule operation is controlled and monitored via the following registers:
