9.4.2 Prescaler
To permit lower PWM frequencies, a prescaler is provided which will
divide the PWM clock frequency by 1, 2, 4, or 8. Table 9-1 shows how
setting the prescaler bits in PWM control register 2 affects the PWM
clock frequency. This prescaler is buffered and will not be used by the
PWM generator until the LDOK bit is set and a new PWM reload cycle
begins.
9.5 PWM Generators
Pulse-width modulator (PWM) generators are discussed in this
subsection.
9.5.1 Load Operation
To help avoid erroneous pulse widths and PWM periods, the modulus,
prescaler, and PWM value registers are buffered. New PWM values,
counter modulus values, and prescalers can be loaded fr om their buffers
into the PWM module every one, two, four, or eight PWM cycles. LDFQ1
and LDFQ0 in PWM control register 2 are used to control this reload
frequency, as shown in Table 9-2. When a reload cycle arrives,
regardless of whether an actual reload occurs (as determined by the
LDOK bit), the PWM reload flag bit in PWM control register 1 will be set.
If the PWMINT bit in PWM control register 1 is set, a CPU interrupt
request will be generated when PWMF is set. Software can use this
interrupt to calculate new PWM parameters in real time for the PWM
module.
