1.4 Steering Modes

In both Synchronous and Asynchronous Steering modes, the CWG Data can be steered to any combination of four CWG outputs. A fixed value will be presented on all the outputs not used for the PWM output. Each output has independent polarity, steering, and shutdown options.

For example, when the Steering Enable A (STRA) bit = 0, the corresponding pin is held at the level defined by the Steering Data A (OVRA) bit. When STRA = 1, the pin is driven by the CWG Data signal. The Output Polarity (POLy) bits control the signal polarity only when STRy = 1.

The CWG auto-shutdown operation also applies in Steering modes as described in the Auto-Shutdown section. An auto-shutdown event will only affect pins that have STRy = 1.
