NOTE

Changing the PWM output mode from left aligned to center aligned output

(or vice versa) while channels are operating can cause irregularities in the

PWM output. It is recommended to program the output mode before

enabling the PWM channel.

Figure 8-20. PWM Left Aligned Output Waveform

To calculate the output frequency in left aligned output mode for a particular channel, take the selected

clock source frequency for the channel (A, B, SA, or SB) and divide it by the value in the period register

for that channel.

•

PWMx Frequency = Clock (A, B, SA, or SB) / PWMPERx

•

PWMx Duty Cycle (high time as a% of period):

— Polarity = 0 (PPOLx = 0)

•

Duty Cycle = [(PWMPERx-PWMDTYx)/PWMPERx] * 100%

— Polarity = 1 (PPOLx = 1)

Duty Cycle = [PWMDTYx / PWMPERx] * 100%

As an example of a left aligned output, consider the following case:

Clock Source = E, where E = 10 MHz (100 ns period)

PPOLx = 0

PWMPERx = 4

PWMDTYx = 1

PWMx Frequency = 10 MHz/4 = 2.5 MHz

PWMx Period = 400 ns

PWMx Duty Cycle = 3/4 *100% = 75%

The output waveform generated is shown in Figure 8-21.

PWMDTYx

Period = PWMPERx

PPOLx = 0

PPOLx = 1
