ePWM Submodules

PWM-Chopper (PC) Submodule
illustrates the PWM-chopper (PC) submodule within the ePWM module.
Figure 33. PWM-Chopper Submodule
The PWM-chopper submodule allows a high-frequency carrier signal to modulate the PWM waveform
generated by the action-qualifier and dead-band submodules. This capability is important if you need
pulse transformer-based gate drivers to control the power switching elements.
2.6.1
Purpose of the PWM-Chopper Submodule
The key functions of the PWM-chopper submodule are:
•
Programmable chopping (carrier) frequency
•
Programmable pulse width of first pulse
•
Programmable duty cycle of second and subsequent pulses
•
Can be fully bypassed if not required

Controlling the PWM-Chopper Submodule
The PWM-chopper submodule operation is controlled via the registers in

Operational Highlights for the PWM-Chopper Submodule
shows the operational details of the PWM-chopper submodule. The carrier clock is derived from
SYSCLKOUT. Its frequency and duty cycle are controlled via the CHPFREQ and CHPDUTY bits in the
PCCTL register. The one-shot block is a feature that provides a high energy first pulse to ensure hard and
fast power switch turn on, while the subsequent pulses sustain pulses, ensuring the power switch remains
on. The one-shot width is programmed via the OSHTWTH bits. The PWM-chopper submodule can be fully
disabled (bypassed) via the CHPEN bit.
