2.2.4 Setting Dead-Time

Dead times are set by the RC delays between the inverted and non-inverted PWM input connected to jumper J5. The dead time typically does not require to be changed, however to evaluate impact of dead time on efficiency, the user can vary the RC delay. Changing the resistors R14 and R2 to get the appropriate dead time does not take much time. Verify that the dead time is not reduced too much to causes a shoot-through condition.
