TMS570LC4357: Is it possible to generate a dead-time on my signal that occurs when the signal is halfway to its maximum value?

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Basically what the title says. I am able to get two signals running with a dead-time between their rising and falling. I was wondering if it was possible to insert a dead-time delay somewhere in the middle of the upward-sloping part of the signal.

Hello,
I am not sure I am understanding your question. Please would you clarify what do you mean by " dead-time delay somewhere in the middle of the upward-sloping part of the signal".

Best regards,
Miro

This is an example of the kind of wave I'm referring to. The dead-time I'm looking for occurs halfway up the wave instead of just at the base.

Hello,
One way to achieve generating such a signal using two GPIOs and external voltage divider between them. May be there is many other ways but you can not generate signal like this with no external components and one GPIO.

Is it possible to maybe achieve this signal without HalcoGen? Perhaps coding a pause in the signal in CCS?
