Enhanced High-Resolution Pulse-Width Modulator (eHRPWM)
14.2.7 PWM-Chopper (PC) Submodule
Figure 14-31 illustrates the PWM-chopper (PC) submodule within the ePWM module. The PWM-chopper
submodule allows a high-frequency carrier signal to modulate the PWM waveform generated by the
action-qualifier and dead-band submodules. This capability is important if you need pulse transformer-
based gate drivers to control the power switching elements.

14.2.7.1 Purpose of the PWM-Chopper Submodule
The key functions of the PWM-chopper submodule are:
• Programmable chopping (carrier) frequency
• Programmable pulse width of first pulse
• Programmable duty cycle of second and subsequent pulses
• Can be fully bypassed if not required
14.2.7.2 Controlling the PWM-Chopper Submodule
The PWM-chopper submodule operation is controlled via the register in Table 14-27.
