CCS/TMS320F28377D: TMS320F28377D can I use Apwm on Ecap with deadtime?

Part Number: TMS320F28377D


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hi 

i consider using Ecap as Apwm.

and  Deadtime function is necessary in controlling mosfet

but i can't sure Apwm have deadtime function.

Q1) it is possible using dead time with APWM? Or do you know gate driver having dead time function?

Q2) i found in datasheet that synchronization between Epwm and APWM  is possible. 

and it is possible synchronization with Phase delay between Epwm and APWM?  

  • I do not believe we have deadband capability on APWM.

     can you confirm?

  • Hi,

    You can not add deadtime in APWM mode of eCAP in hardware. One option is to account for deadtime in dutycycle computations and add in software.

    Yes - Synchronization is possible between Epwm and Ecap in APWM mode.
    Please refer to Sync chain diagram in Technical reference manual -
