1.25.13 1.26.12 Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM)
The Pulse Width Modulation Controller (PWM) controls several channels independently. Each channel controls one square output waveform. Characteristics of the output waveform such as period, duty-cycle and polarity are configurable through the user interface. Each channel selects and uses one of the clocks provided by the clock generator. The clock generator provides several clocks resulting from the division of the PWM macrocell master clock. Channels can be synchronized, to generate non overlapped waveforms. All channels integrate a double buffering system in order to prevent an unexpected output waveform while modifying the period or the duty-cycle.
Using The Library
This example shows how to configure the PWM to generate three PWM waveform signals. The duty cycle of the PWM is updated in the interrupt handler.
/* Duty cycle increment value */ #define DUTY_INCREMENT (10U) /* Save PWM period */ uint32_t period; /* This function is called after PWM0 counter event */ void PWM_CounterEventHandler(uintptr_t context) { static uint32_t duty0 = 0U; static uint32_t duty1 = 2500U; static uint32_t duty2 = 5000U; PWM0_ChannelDutySet(PWM_CHANNEL_0, duty0); PWM0_ChannelDutySet(PWM_CHANNEL_1, duty1); PWM0_ChannelDutySet(PWM_CHANNEL_2, duty2); /* Increment duty cycle values */ duty0 += DUTY_INCREMENT; duty1 += DUTY_INCREMENT; duty2 += DUTY_INCREMENT; if (duty0 > period) duty0 = 0U; if (duty1 > period) duty1 = 0U; if (duty2 > period) duty2 = 0U; } int main ( void ) { /* Register callback function for Channel 0 counter event */ PWM0_CallbackRegister(PWM_CounterEventHandler, (uintptr_t)NULL); /* Read the period */ period = PWM0_ChannelPeriodGet(PWM_CHANNEL_0); /* Start all channels synchronously */ PWM0_ChannelsStart(PWM_CHANNEL_0_MASK | PWM_CHANNEL_1_MASK | PWM_CHANNEL_2_MASK); }
