4.12.3 Mechanism for Automatic Mode Switching

Many of the configuration parameters for the DPWM are in DPWM Control Register 1. For automatic

mode switching, some of these parameters are duplicated in the Auto Config Mid and Auto Config High

registers.

If automatic mode switching is enabled, the filter duty signal is used to select which of these three

registers is used. There are 4 registers which are used to select the points at which the mode switching

takes place. They are used as shown below.

As shown, the registers are used in pairs for hysteresis. The transition from Control Register 1 to Auto

Config Mid only takes place when the Filter Duty goes above the Low Upper threshold. It does not go

back to Auto Config Mid until the Low Lower Threshold is passed. This prevents oscillation between

modes if the filter duty is close to a mode switching point.
