I/O Lines
Power Management
Interrupt Sources
Each channel outputs one waveform on one external I/O line.
Table 38-1.
The pins used for interfacing the PWM may be multiplexed with PIO lines. The programmer must
first program the PIO controller to assign the desired PWM pins to their peripheral function. If I/O
lines of the PWM are not used by the application, they can be used for other purposes by the
PIO controller.
All of the PWM outputs may or may not be enabled. If an application requires only four channels,
then only four PIO lines will be assigned to PWM outputs.
The PWM is not continuously clocked. The programmer must first enable the PWM clock in the
Power Management Controller (PMC) before using the PWM. However, if the application does
not require PWM operations, the PWM clock can be stopped when not needed and be restarted
later. In this case, the PWM will resume its operations where it left off.
Configuring the PWM does not require the PWM clock to be enabled.
The PWM interrupt line is connected on one of the internal sources of the Advanced Interrupt
Controller. Using the PWM interrupt requires the AIC to be programmed first. Note that it is not
recommended to use the PWM interrupt line in edge sensitive mode.
The PWM macrocell is primarily composed of a clock generator module and 4 channels.
Name
PWMx
– Clocked by the system clock, MCK, the clock generator module provides 13 clocks.
– Each channel can independently choose one of the clock generator outputs.
– Each channel generates an output waveform with attributes that can be defined
independently for each channel through the user interface registers.
