摘要： Extending pulse width modulation phase offset when generating phase shifted groups of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals is accomplished with a separate phase counter that is independent of the time-base counters used in traditional PWM generation circuits and that is prevented from being retriggered until an existing duty cycle has completed. This is accomplished with a phase offset counter, a phase comparator and a circuit that is triggered via a master time base for overall synchronization of the multi-phase PWM signal generation.

摘要： Dead time compensated complementary pulse width modulation (PWM) signals are derived from a PWM generator by first applying time period compensation to the PWM generator signal based upon the direction of current flow in an inductive load being controlled by the PWM generator. Dead time is then applied to the compensated PWM generator signal for producing complementary dead time compensated PWM signals for controlling power switching circuits driving the inductive load.

摘要： A pulse width modulation (PWM) generator featuring very high speed and high resolution capability and the ability to generate standard complementary PWM, push-pull PWM, variable offset PWM, multiphase PWM, current limit PWM, current reset PWM, and independent time base PWM while further providing automatic triggering for an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) module that is precisely timed relative to the PWM signals. Applications include control of a switching power supply that requires very high speed operation to obtain high resolution at high switching frequencies, and the ability to vary the phase relationships among the PWM output signals driving the power supply power components. A single PWM duty cycle register may be used for updating any and/or all PWM generators at once to reduce the workload of a digital processor as compared to updating multiple duty cycle registers.

摘要： Groups of phase shifted Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals are generated that maintain their duty-cycle and phase relationships as a function of the period of the PWM signal frequency. The multiphase PWM signals are generated in a ratio-metric fashion so as to greatly simplify and reduce the computational workload for a processor used in a PWM system. The groups of phase shifted PWM signals may also be synchronized with and automatically scaled to match external synchronization signals.

摘要： Multiple pulse width modulation (PWM) generators each have a separate phase offset counter creating a phase shift. The phase shifting process is separated from the duty cycle generation process, thereby easing the task of preserving the duty cycle and phase relationships among the various PWM channels following an asynchronous external synchronization event. A master time base generates a PWM cycle start signal that resets the phase offset counters in each of the PWM generator circuits. The phase offset counter continues counting until it matches the respective phase offset value. Then, the associated duty cycle counter is reset and restarted. The duty cycle continues until its count matches the specified value at which time the duty cycle counter stops until reset by the terminal count from the phase offset counter. The output of the duty cycle comparators provide the output PWM signals as a repetitive series of single cycle PWM signals.

摘要翻译： 多个脉冲宽度调制（PWM）发生器各自具有产生相移的单独的相位偏移计数器。 相移过程与占空比生成处理分离，从而缓解了在异步外部同步事件之后保持各种PWM信道之间的占空比和相位关系的任务。 主时基产生一个PWM周期开始信号，复位每个PWM发生器电路中的相位偏移计数器。 相位偏移计数器继续计数，直到它与相应的相位偏移值相匹配。 然后，相关的占空比计数器复位并重新启动。 占空比继续，直到其计数与指定值匹配，此时占空比计数器停止，直到来自相位偏移计数器的端子计数复位。 占空比比较器的输出提供输出PWM信号作为单周期PWM信号的重复系列。
