Hi Roy,
Absolutely. This devices is designed to provide complementary signal (180 degrees shifted) with a max duty cycle of 50% each and with a programmable dead time. To program switching frequency and dead time, use pin CT and DIS. Please refer to pg. 5 and pg. 6 to design those parameters.

Hi Manuel,
I don't clearly understand the calculation of the clk for the part.
If we need 60Hz PWM signal(+/-180degree) with 3% dead time. How can we design CT and DIS pin R/C?
Regards,
Roy
Hi Roy,
Use 1st order equations showed in pg. 7. Some considerations:
-Tdischarge is the dead time between driver signals (OUTA and OUTB).
-Oscillator frequency fosc is twice switching frequency fs.
Parameters:
fs=60Hz; fosc=120Hz; Tdischarge=(0.03)*(1/120Hz)
Equations:
1.36*Rb*Ct=Tdischarge
5.9/[(Ra+8*Rb)*Ct]=fosc
You can start setting Ra value and then calculate Rb and Ct values. One example for your case:
Ct=200pF; Rb=920ohm; Ra=238.5Kohm
Please, take into consideration that these values are within the range of +/-20% of the real values. Measuring the charge and discharge time at the SYNC pin is recommended to verify them.
