Select the PHASE information by using the 5 bits CHPHAx

•

Select the switching slope by using the two bits SLOPECRx

•

Select the channels configuration Bulb/LED by using the bit CCR

•

Select the DUTYCYCLE information by using the 10 bits of the OUTCTRCRx registers

•

Select the channel through the dedicated register “SOCR” in the Channel Control register

•

Select the PWM triggering mode by using the single bit PWM_TRIG of the CTRL register

The PWMSYNC bit will reset the internal 12 bits clock counter. This allows to have a known time base and to

synchronize different devices among each other.

The signal on the PWMCLK is divided internally by a factor from 4096 to 512 depending on the PWMFCY register

to generate the base frequency for the output:

•

PWM signal is generated by properly selecting 10 of 12 bits on the clock counter. PWM engine has a virtual

10-bit granularity except when PWM divider is set to 512, in this case only a 9-bit granularity is possible

(LSB of 10bit generated PWM is fixed to zero). Duty cycle step can be modified with the granularity related

to the 9-bit register.

The duty cycle of the output signal is configured for each OUTPUTX with the OUTCTRCR register using 10 bits

(MSB first):

•

Programming an output duty cycle at 000h will result in a 0% duty cycle, it means channel always OFF

depending on the SOCR/DIx bit setting.

•

Programming an output duty cycle at 3FFh will result in a 100% duty cycle (4095/4096), it means channel

always ON when the SOCR/DIx bit is set.

–

In normal mode the outputs are driven according to the SPI register setting and INx pins (DIx in OR

with SPI) if the related DIENCR bit is set.

Set PWMSYNC bit in Control Register “CTRL” (to synchronize internal PWM counter to the selected channels).

The internal PWM counter is 12 bits depth, it is active whatever the state of the channels, if VDD >

VDD_POR_ON.

The set of PWMSYNC bit allows to reset the PWM counter.

The phase shift of the output signal is configured for each OUTPUTx by internally concatenating the CHPHAx 5

bits with '00000' in order to get 10 bits. Granularity of the phase shift is 5 bits. CHPHA = 00000b means a phase

shift of 0 (internal 10bit phase shift is 0x000=0000000000b), while CHPHA = 11111b results in a maximum phase

shift of 31/32 = (internal 10bit phase shift is 0x3E0 = 0000000000b). The phase shift is relative to the base

frequency of the selected channel. Thus, the exact point in time when the channel switches on also depends on

the operating mode of the selected channel.

A change of phase/duty will be taken in account after the next zero crossing of the PWM counter.

Note:

If the frequency on PWMCLK is too low (f < PWM_Clk), the device falls back to an internally generated PWM

frequency of approximately 400 kHz. In this case the PWMCLOCKLOW bit in the OUTSRx and the global error

flag are set.
