Practical Applications Using Phase Control Between PWM Modules
So far, none of the examples have made use of the phase register (TBPHS). It has either been set to zero
or its value has been a don't care. However, by programming appropriate values into TBPHS, multiple
PWM modules can address another class of power topologies that rely on phase relationship between
legs (or stages) for correct operation. As described in the TB module section, a PWM module can be
configured to allow a SyncIn pulse to cause the TBPHS register to be loaded into the TBCTR register. To
illustrate this concept,
shows a master and slave module with a phase relationship of 120°, i.e.,
the slave leads the master.
Figure 57. Configuring Two PWM Modules for Phase Control
shows the associated timing waveforms for this configuration. Here, TBPRD = 600 for both
master and slave. For the slave, TBPHS = 200 (i.e., 200/600 X 360° = 120°). Whenever the master
generates a SyncIn pulse (CTR = PRD), the value of TBPHS = 200 is loaded into the slave TBCTR
register so the slave time-base is always leading the master's time-base by 120°.
