I6804/I6854/I6904/I6954 MACRO IC PWM Deadtime / PFM Pulse Width Control
Range:
0 - 255
Units:
16*PWM_CLK cycles / PFM_CLK cycles
PWM Deadtime = [16 / PWM_CLK (MHz)] * I6804 = 0.135 usec * I6804
PFM Pulse Width = [1 / PFM_CLK (MHz)] * I6804
= PFM_CLK_period (usec) * I6804
Default:
15
PWM Deadtime = 0.135 usec * 15 = 2.03

PFM Pulse Width = [1 / 9.8304 MHz] * 15 = 1.526
sec (with default I6803)
Note:
This I-variable is only active if the MACRO IC is present, and a DSPGATE2 IC.
The presence and type of MACRO ICs are reported in I4902 and I4903.
The presence and type of MACRO ICs are reported in I4902 and I4903.
I6804, I6854, I6904, and I6954 control the deadtime period between top and bottom on-times in
PMAC2's automatic PWM generation for the two supplemental machine interface channels of MACRO
ICs 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, provided they are DSPGATE2 ICs. In conjunction with I6803 I6853,
I6903, and I6953, they also control the pulse width for PMAC2’s automatic pulse-frequency modulation
generation for the two machine interface channels on the DSPGATE2 MACRO IC.

The PWM deadtime, which is the delay between the top signal turning off and the bottom signal turning
on, and vice versa, is specified in units of 16 PWM_CLK cycles. This means that the deadtime can be
specified in increments of 0.135
