4.12.1  PWM Dead-Time Compensation 
The Dead-Time parameters for rise or fall-time can be independently changed, at any time, in any 
mode, from one switch cycle to another. This is useful for adapting to load variations.  
The XMC devices make use of this in order to maintain an optimized efficiency.

Updating the Dead-Time 
There are two methods: 
1.  Linked to one of the timers 
2.  Linked to the Dead-Time timer overflows 
Source Switching (Mixed Mode) 
There is switch mode-bit, by which the source setup that can be used in switching between CCM (i.e. 
only timer control) and CRM (i.e. timer plus comparator), can be exchanged on demand, by request.
