32.8 Falling Edge and Forward Dead Band
In Half Bridge mode, the falling edge dead band delays the turn-on of the CWGxB output at the falling edge of the CWG data input. In Full Bridge mode, the forward dead-band delay is only inserted when changing directions from Reverse mode to Forward mode, and only the modulated output, CWGxD, is affected.
The CWGxDBF register determines the duration of the dead-band interval on the falling edge of the input source signal. This duration is from 0 to 64 periods of the CWG clock.
Dead-band delay is always initiated on the edge of the input source signal. A count of zero indicates that no dead band is present.
If the input source signal reverses polarity before the dead-band count is completed, then no signal will be seen on the respective output.
