5.16Pulse Width Modulator (PWM)

The DM355 contains 4 separate Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) modules. The pulse width modulator (PWM) feature is very common in embedded systems. It provides a way to generate a pulse periodic waveform for motor control or can act as a digital-to-analog converter with some external components. This PWM peripheral is basically a timer with a period counter and a first-phase duration comparator, where bit width of the period and first-phase duration are both programmable. The Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) modules support the following features:

32-bit period counter

32-bit first-phase duration counter

8-bit repeat count for one-shot operation. One-shot operation will produce N + 1 periods of the waveform, where N is the repeat counter value.

Configurable to operate in either one-shot or continuous mode

Buffered period and first-phase duration registers

One-shot operation triggerable by hardware events with programmable edge transitions. (low-to-high or high-to-low).

One-shot operation triggerable by the CCD VSYNC output of the video processing subsystem (VPSS), which allows any of the PWM instantiations to be used as a CCD timer. This allows the DM355 module to support the functions provided by the DM320 CCD timer feature (generating strobe and shutter signals).

One-shot operation generates N+1 periods of waveform, N being the repeat count register value

Configurable PWM output pin inactive state

Interrupt and EDMA synchronization events
