PWM_GEN_MODE_LATCH_FAULT is listed several times as a valid parameter w/in SW-DRL-UG-8555. This appears to be not the case. Search above - w/in Stellaris driverlib - shows no recognition of this parameter name.
Instead - believe an "old standby" from earlier SW-DRL-UGs does work: PWM_GEN_MODE_FAULT_LATCHED.
Stellaris MCU's w/this Extended PWM Fault Handling may contain multiple, PWM Fault Pins - each able to exert control over its "mated' PWM Generator along with the very welcome ability to control other PWM Generators - as well. (even all of them - via a single PWM Fault Pin!) This capability yields many enhancements to design - which previously required external, add-on gating hardware and control signals from the MCU. Much - if not all of these enhancements - may now be achieved solely w/in the Stellaris MCU. (note - I am not paid endorser of these/related products)
Using the latter (Fault_Latched) I was able to nicely have even a brief fault signal - on an M4F's "fault pin" - cause immediate cessation of PWM activity across all 3 of my running PWM Generators - just as hoped. The MCU's latch mechanism held all generators OFF - till the function, "ROM_PWMFaultIntClearExt()" was later, properly called. (this done after my code identified the fault's cause - and determined that it was transient in nature.) Without such an "automatic" Output ON/OFF mechanism - we would have been forced to "shut-down - and then Re-Start!" (Not an especially graceful method of recovery) Instead we now can "kill" the outputs (briefly/programmably) and then test/measure to determine if the Fault's Cause has cleared - and often Continue w/out unnecessary shut-downs. (or even slow-down)
Rare that so elegant and robust a solution can be so quickly & easily developed - look for Stellaris MCU's supporting, "Extended PWM Fault Handling." Slight word mangling w/in 516 pg doc - hereby ID'ed/corrected - may save you search time/head-scratching...
