PRODUCTION DATA.
The output of the compensator feeds the high resolution DPWM engine. The DPWM engine produces the pulse width modulated gate drive output from the device. In operation, the compensator calculates the necessary duty cycle as a digital number representing a percentage from 0 to 100%. The duty cycle value is multiplied by the configured period to generate a comparator threshold value. This threshold is compared against the high speed switching period counter to generate the desired DPWM pulse width. This is shown in Figure 10.
Each DPWM engine can be synchronized to another DPWM engine or to an external sync signal via the SyncIn and SyncOut terminals. Configuration of the synchronization function is done through a MFR_SPECIFIC PMBus command. See the DPWM Synchronization section for more details.
