4.10.2  Edge Aligned Mode 
Dual  PWM  channels  with  fixed  phase-shift  can  be  provided  by  two  CCU4  slices  in  edge-aligned 
compare mode, representing each PWM channel by the associated output of each status bit.  
There should be a Global Start and Synchronization sequence, before the system is prepared for run-
time.

Start-up sequence 
During the start-up  phase the duty-cycle of CC40 is set to  0 by pre-setting a high compare level, 
exceeding the period register value pre-set, which implies no PWM generation during the start-up. A 
similar situation prevents the CC41 from generating a PWM stream too early. 
Fixed Phase-Shift with Different Duty-Cycles 
There is no negative effect,  but there can  be a benefit, to using fixed phase-shift  in edge aligned 
mode with different duty-cycles, especially in split converters using a mutual controller. The split in 
time will mean that the EMC qualities will be better.
