Enhanced High-Resolution Pulse-Width Modulator (eHRPWM)
14.2.6 Dead-Band Generator (DB) Submodule
Figure 14-28 illustrates the dead-band generator submodule within the ePWM module.
Figure 14-28. Dead-Band Generator Submodule
14.2.6.1 Purpose of the Dead-Band Submodule
The "Action-qualifier (AQ) Module" section discussed how it is possible to generate the required dead-
band by having full control over edge placement using both the CMPA and CMPB resources of the ePWM
module. However, if the more classical edge delay-based dead-band with polarity control is required, then
the dead-band generator submodule should be used.
The key functions of the dead-band generator submodule are:
• Generating appropriate signal pairs (EPWMxA and EPWMxB) with dead-band relationship from a
single EPWMxA input
• Programming signal pairs for:
– Active high (AH)
– Active low (AL)
– Active high complementary (AHC)
– Active low complementary (ALC)
• Adding programmable delay to rising edges (RED)
• Adding programmable delay to falling edges (FED)
• Can be totally bypassed from the signal path (note dotted lines in diagram)
14.2.6.2 Controlling and Monitoring the Dead-Band Submodule
The dead-band generator submodule operation is controlled and monitored via the following registers:
