Output Control

For a typical motor drive inverter as shown in Figure 12-13, for a given top/bottom transistor pair, only one of the transistors will be effective in controlling the output voltage at any given time depending on the direction of the motor current for that pair. To achieve distortion correction, one of two different correction factors must be added to the desired PWM value, depending on whether the top or bottom transistor is controlling the output voltage. Therefore, the software is responsible for calculating both compensated PWM values and placing them in an odd/even PWM register pair. By supplying the PWM module with information regarding which transistor (top or bottom) is controlling the output voltage at any given time (for instance, the current polarity for that motor phase), the PWM module selects either the odd or even numbered PWM value register to be used by the PWM generator.

Current sensing or programmable software bits are then used to determine which PWM value to use. If the current sensed at the motor for that PWM pair is positive (voltage on current pin ISx is low) or bit IPOLx in PWM control register 2 is low, the top PWM value is used for the PWM pair. Likewise, if the current sensed at the motor for that PWM pair is negative (voltage on current pin ISx is high) or bit IPOLx in PWM control register 2 is high, the bottom PWM value is used. See Table 12-4.

NOTE

This text assumes the user will provide current sense circuitry which causes the voltage at the corresponding input pin to be low for positive current and high for negative current. See Figure 12-19for current convention. In addition, it assumes the top PWMs are PWMs 1, 3, and 5 while the bottom PWMs are PWMs 2, 4, and 6.
