TCC PWM generation

This example application shows how to use the TCC to generate a 2 or 3 phase PWM signals for motor control with dead time.

Description

TCC module is configured to generate synchronous 2 or 3 phase PWM signals with dead time. The duty cycle of the PWM signals is updated in the period interrupt handler.

Setting up the hardware

The following table shows the target hardware for the application projects.

Project Name Board
sam_ha1_xpro.X SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit
   

Setting up SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

  • Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

Note:

ATSAMHA1G16A device in SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro board is not recommended for new design, hence replace the device with ATSAMHA1G16AB device. Connect the supported external debugger to Cortex Debug Port

Running the Application

  1. Build and Program the application using its IDE
  2. Observe the high-side and low-side PWM waveforms on oscilloscope
  3. Observe the dead time between the high side and the low side
  4. Observe the pwm frequency to be 10 KHz
