PWM Period

The PWM period is specified by writing the PWM

Period bits of the PWM Period register. The PWM

period can be calculated using the following formula:

Equation 8-1:

The PWM Period is defined as 1/[PWM Frequency].

When PTIMER is equal to PWM Period, the following

two events occur on the next increment cycle:

• the PWM timer is cleared

• the PWM pin is set. Exception: If the PWM Duty

Cycle equals 0%, the PWM pin will not be set.

8.3

PWM Duty Cycle

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the PWM

Duty-Cycle register. Up to 10-bit resolution is available.

The PWM Duty-Cycle register contains the eight MSbs

and the two LSbs. The following equations are used to

calculate the PWM duty cycle as a percentage or as

time:

EQUATION 8-1:

PWM Duty Cycle can be written to at any time, but the

duty-cycle value is not latched until after a period is

complete.

The PWM registers and a two-bit internal latch are

used to double-buffer the PWM duty cycle. This

double-buffering is essential for glitch-less PWM

operation.

The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM

frequency is shown in Equation 8-2.

EQUATION 8-2:

MAXIMUM PWM

RESOLUTION BASED ON

A FUNCTION OF PWM

FREQUENCY

PWM Period = [(PWM_Frequency) + 1] × 2 × PTIMER × (Prescale Value)

PWM Duty Cycle (%) = (PWM_DUTY CYCLE>)/(4 × PWM_FREQUENCY)

PWM Duty Cycle (time in s) = (PWM_DUTY_CYCLE) × PWM_TIMER_PERIOD/2 × (Prescale Value)

Note:

If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than

the PWM period, the PWM pin will not be

cleared.
