Enhanced PWM (ePWM) Module
15.2.2.7.3 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.
