Enhanced Pulse Width Modulator (ePWM) Module
3.3.5 Controlling Multiple Half H-Bridge (HHB) Converters
Topologies that require control of multiple switching elements can also be addressed with these same
ePWM modules. It is possible to control a Half-H bridge stage with a single ePWM module. This control
can be extended to multiple stages. Figure 3-51 shows control of two synchronized Half-H bridge stages
where stage 2 can operate at integer multiple (N) frequencies of stage 1. Figure 3-52 shows the
waveforms generated by the configuration shown in Figure 3-51.
Module 2 (slave) is configured for Sync flow-through; if required, this configuration allows for a third Half-H
bridge to be controlled by PWM module 3 and also, most importantly, to remain in synchronization with
master module 1.
