23.4.1

HALF-BRIDGE MODE

In Half-Bridge mode, two pins are used as outputs to

drive push-pull loads. The PWM output signal is output

on the CCPx/PxA pin, while the complementary PWM

output signal is output on the PxB pin (see

Figure 23-9). This mode can be used for Half-Bridge

applications, as shown in Figure 23-9, or for Full-Bridge

applications, where four power switches are being

modulated with two PWM signals.

In Half-Bridge mode, the programmable dead-band delay

can be used to prevent shoot-through current in

Half-Bridge power devices. The value of the PDC<6:0>

bits of the PWMxCON register sets the number of

instruction cycles before the output is driven active. If the

value is greater than the duty cycle, the corresponding

output remains inactive during the entire cycle. See

Section 23.4.5 “Programmable Dead-Band Delay

Mode”

for more details of the dead-band delay

operations.

Since the PxA and PxB outputs are multiplexed with the

PORT data latches, the associated TRIS bits must be

cleared to configure PxA and PxB as outputs.
