PRODUCTION DATA
The DPWM module represents one complete DPWM channel with 2 independent outputs, A and B. Multiple DPWM modules within the UCD3138x system can be configured to support all key power topologies. DPWM modules can be used as independent DPWM outputs, each controlling one power supply output voltage rail. It can also be used as a synchronized DPWM—with user selectable phase shift between the DPWM channels to control power supply outputs with multiphase or interleaved DPWM configurations.
The output of the filter feeds the high resolution DPWM module. The DPWM module produces the pulse width modulated outputs for the power stage switches. The filter calculates the necessary duty ratio as a 24-bit number in Q23 fixed point format (23 bit integer with 1 sign bit). This represents a value within the range 0.0 to 1.0. This duty ratio value is used to generate the corresponding DPWM output ON time. The resolution of the DPWM ON time is 250 psec.
Each DPWM module can be synchronized to another module or to an external synchronization signal. An input SYNC signal causes a DPWM ramp timer to reset. The SYNC signal outputs—from each of the four DPWM modules—occur when the ramp timer crosses a programmed threshold. This allows the phase of the DPWM outputs for multiple power stages to be tightly controlled.
The DPWM logic takes the output of the filter and converts it into the correct DPWM output for several power supply topologies. It provides for programmable dead times and cycle adjustments for current balancing between phases. It controls the triggering of the EADC. It can synchronize to other DPWMs or to external sources. It can provide synchronization information to other DPWMs or to external recipients. In addition, it interfaces to several fault handling circuits. Some of the control for these fault handling circuits is in the DPWM registers. Fault handling is covered in the Fault Mux section.
Each DPWM module supports the following features:
