35. Module: PWM
In Center-Aligned Complementary mode with 
Independent Time Base, if the value in the PDCx 
register is less than one-half the value in the 
ALTDTRx register, the PWM generator will force 
the PWMxL to low, and on the PWMxH, generate 
pulses of width less than twice the dead time, as 
shown in 
.

Work around
Include a software routine to ensure that the duty 
cycle value written to the PDCx register is always at 
least one-half of the value in ALTDTRx. 
 
shows one method, with PDCtemp representing the 
variable which has the value to be written to the 
PDCx register. Alternatively, for duty cycle values 
less than half the desired dead time value, zero out 
the ALTDTRx register or dynamically reduce the 
value in the ALTDTRx register, such that ALTDTRx is 
always equal to 2 * PDCx, as shown in
