MOTOR CONTROLLER (Cont’d)

If the PCN bit is reset, one of the three PWM sig-

nals (the one set by the compare U register pair) or

the output of the measurement window generator

(depending on if the driving mode is voltage or cur-

rent) is used to provide six-step signals through

the PWM manager (to drive a PM BLDC motor for

instance).

In that case, DTE behaves like a standard bit (with

multiple write capability). When the deadtime gen-

erator is enabled (bit DTE=1), some restrictions

are applied, summarized in Table 53:

■ Channels are now grouped by pairs:

Channel[0:1], Channel[2:3], Channel[4:5]; a

deadtime generator is allocated to each of these

pairs (see cautions below);

■ The input signal of the deadtime generator is the

active output of the PWM manager for the

corresponding channel. For instance, if we

consider the Channel[0:1] pair, it may be either

Channel0 or Channel1.

■ When both channels of a pair are inactive, the

corresponding outputs will also stay inactive

(this is mandatory to allow BEMF zero-crossing

detection).

Table 53 summarizes the functionality of the dead-

time generator when the PCN bit is reset. 1(pwm*)

means that the corresponding channel is active (1

in the corresponding bit in the MPHST register),

and a PWM signal is applied on it (using the MPAR

register and the OS[2:0] bits in MCRB register).

PWM represents the complementary signals (al-

though the duty cycle is slightly different due to

deadtime insertion). 0 means that the channel is

inactive and 1 means that the channel is active

and a logic level 1 is applied on it (no PWM signal).

Warning: Grouping channels by pairs imposes the

external connections between the MCO outputs

and power devices; the user must therefore pay at-

tention to respect the “recommended schematics”

described in Figure 123. on page 228 and Figure

124

Note: As soon as the channels are grouped in

pairs, special care has to be taken in configuring

the MPAR register for a PM BLDC drive. If both

channels of the same pair are both labelled “high”

for example and if the PWM is applied on high

channels, the active MCO output x (OOx=1 bit in

the MPHST register) outputs PWM and the paired

MCO output x+1 (OOx+1bit in the MPHST regis-

ter) outputs PWM and vice versa.

Caution: When PCN=0 and a complementary

PWM is applied (DTE=1) on one channel of a pair,

if both channels are active, this corresponds in

output to both channels OFF. This is for security

purpose to avoid cross-conduction.

Caution: To clear the DTE bit from reset state of

MDTG register (FFh), the PCN bit must be cleared

before.
