dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202
15.0 MOTOR CONTROL PWM
MODULE
The dsPIC33FJ12MC201/202 device supports up to
two dedicated Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
modules. The PWM1 module is a 6-channel PWM
generator, and the PWM2 module is a 2-channel PWM
generator.
The PWM module has the following features:
• Up to 16-bit resolution
• On-the-fly PWM frequency changes
• Edge-Aligned and Center-Aligned Output modes
• Single Pulse Generation mode
• Interrupt support for asymmetrical updates in
Center-Aligned mode
• Output override control for Electrically
Commutative Motor (ECM) operation or BLDC
• Special Event comparator for scheduling other
peripheral events
• Fault pins to optionally drive each of the PWM
output pins to a defined state
• Duty cycle updates configurable to be immediate
or synchronized to the PWM time base
15.1 PWM1: 6-Channel PWM Module
This module simplifies the task of generating multiple
synchronized PWM outputs. The following power and
motion control applications are supported by the PWM
module:
• 3-Phase AC Induction Motor
• Switched Reluctance (SR) Motor
• Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
This module contains three duty cycle generators,
numbered 1 through 3. The module has six PWM
output pins, numbered PWM1H1/PWM1L1 through
PWM1H3/PWM1L3. The six I/O pins are grouped into
high/low numbered pairs, denoted by the suffix H or L,
respectively. For complementary loads, the low PWM
pins are always the complement of the corresponding
high I/O pin.
15.2 PWM2: 2-Channel PWM Module
This module provides an additional pair of
complimentary PWM outputs that can be used for:
• Independent PFC correction in a motor system
• Induction cooking
This module contains a duty cycle generator that
provides two PWM outputs, numbered PWM2H1/
PWM2L1.
