C28 Enhanced Pulse Width Modulator (ePWM) Module
7.3.4 Controlling Multiple Buck Converters With Same Frequencies
If synchronization is a requirement, ePWM module 2 can be configured as a slave and can operate at
integer multiple (N) frequencies of module 1. The sync signal from master to slave ensures these modules
remain locked.
