Compare Units
precise control of gate timing requirements. In addition, the dead time is typically specified with
a single program variable that is easily changed for different power converters or adapted on-line.

Each compare unit has its own dead-band timer, but shares the clock prescaler unit and the dead-
band period with the other compare units. Dead-band can be individually enabled for each
compare unit by setting bits 5, 6, and 7 in the DBTCONA register for EVA and DBTCONB for
EVB.
The minimum achievable non-zero dead time is one CPU clock cycle (e.g. 50 ns), obtained by
choosing the x/1 prescale option, and setting the DB period to 1 (i.e. DBTCONx.11-8 = 0001,
where x is A for EVA and x is B for EVB).
