PWM Channel Timers

The main part of the PWM module are the actual timers. Each of the timer channels has a counter, a period

the period register and the value in the counter. The duty is controlled by a match between the duty register

and the counter value and causes the state of the output to change during the period. The starting polarity

of the output is also selectable on a per channel basis. Shown below in Figure 8-19 is the block diagram

for the PWM timer.

8.4.2.1

PWM Enable

Each PWM channel has an enable bit (PWMEx) to start its waveform output. When any of the PWMEx

bits are set (PWMEx = 1), the associated PWM output signal is enabled immediately. However, the actual

PWM waveform is not available on the associated PWM output until its clock source begins its next cycle

due to the synchronization of PWMEx and the clock source. An exception to this is when channels are

concatenated. Refer to Section 8.4.2.7, “PWM 16-Bit Functions” for more detail.

NOTE

The ﬁrst PWM cycle after enabling the channel can be irregular.
