To prevent overwriting the PWM_CUPDx by software, the user can use status events in order to synchronize his
software. Two methods are possible. In both, the user must enable the dedicated interrupt in PWM_IER at PWM
Controller level. 

The first method (polling method) consists of reading the relevant status bit in PWM_ISR Register according to the
enabled channel(s). See 

The second method uses an Interrupt Service Routine associated with the PWM channel. 

Note:

Reading the PWM_ISR register automatically clears CHIDx flags.

Note:

Polarity and alignment can be modified only when the channel is disabled. 

Depending on the interrupt mask in the PWM_IMR register, an interrupt is generated at the end of the corresponding
channel period. The interrupt remains active until a read operation in the PWM_ISR register occurs.

A channel interrupt is enabled by setting the corresponding bit in the PWM_IER register. A channel interrupt is disabled
by setting the corresponding bit in the PWM_IDR register.
