Each C28x event manager (EVA and EVB) is capable of generating five independent PWM
signals. Up to two different carrier frequencies can be independently selected as follows:
4 PWM @ freq1, 1 PWM @ freq2
Of course, frequency 1 need not differ from frequency 2.
In addition, three PWM signals may be generated which are compliments of three of the above
listed five (i.e. full compare units). This forms three complimentary pairs of PWM, and is
intended for use as input to a three-phase power converter.
Two different compare types exist on each C28x event managers (EVA and EVB) for generating
PWM signals:
1. General Purpose Timer Compares
2. Compare Units
Each uses one of the general purpose timers for clocking the PWM calculation, and these timers
will be covered next.
