Dead-time counter
When the a channel’s DTE bit is set in MCCON, the dead-time counter delays the
passive-to-active transitions of both MCO outputs. The dead-time counter starts counting
down, from the channel’s DT value (in the MCDT register) to 0, whenever the channel’s A
or B output changes from active to passive. The transition of the other output from passive
to active is delayed until the dead-time counter reaches 0. During the dead time, the
MCOA and MCOB output levels are both passive.
shows operation in edge
aligned mode with dead time, and
shows center-aligned operation with
dead time.
