PWM Generation

This example shows how to use the PWM peripheral to generate 3-phase PWM signals with dead time.

Description

This example shows how to configure the PWM to generate synchronous 3-phase PWM signals with dead time (used for motor control). The duty cycle of the PWM is updated in the interrupt handler.
