Enhanced High-Resolution Pulse-Width Modulator (eHRPWM)
Although all combinations are supported, not all are typical usage modes. Table 14-26 lists some classical
dead-band configurations. These modes assume that the DBCTL[IN_MODE] is configured such that
EPWMxA In is the source for both falling-edge and rising-edge delay. Enhanced, or non-traditional modes
can be achieved by changing the input signal source. The modes shown in Table 14-26 fall into the
following categories:
• Mode 1: Bypass both falling-edge delay (FED) and rising-edge delay (RED) Allows you to fully
disable the dead-band submodule from the PWM signal path.
• Mode 2-5: Classical Dead-Band Polarity Settings These represent typical polarity configurations that
should address all the active high/low modes required by available industry power switch gate drivers.
The waveforms for these typical cases are shown in Figure 14-30. Note that to generate equivalent
waveforms to Figure 14-30, configure the action-qualifier submodule to generate the signal as shown
for EPWMxA.
• Mode 6: Bypass rising-edge-delay and Mode 7: Bypass falling-edge-delay Finally the last two
entries in Table 14-26 show combinations where either the falling-edge-delay (FED) or rising-edge-
delay (RED) blocks are bypassed.

These are classical dead-band modes and assume that DBCTL[IN_MODE] = 0,0. That is, EPWMxA in is the source for both the
falling-edge and rising-edge delays. Enhanced, non-traditional modes can be achieved by changing the IN_MODE configuration.
