Each DPWM can control the following timing events:

1. Sample Trigger Count–This register defines where the error voltage is sampled by the EADC in relationship to the DPWM period. The programmed value set in the register should be one fourth of the value calculated based on the DPWM clock. As the DCLK (DCLK = 62.5 MHz max) controlling the circuitry runs at one fourth of the DPWM clock (PCLK = 250MHz max). When this sample trigger count is equal to the DPWM Counter, it initiates a front end calculation by triggering the EADC, resulting in a CLA calculation, and a DPWM update. Over-sampling can be set for 2, 4 or 8 times the sampling rate.
2. Phase Trigger Count–count offset for slaving another DPWM (Multi-Phase/Interleaved operation).
3. Period–low resolution switching period count. (count of PCLK cycles)
4. Event 1–count offset for rising DPWM A event. (PCLK cycles)
5. Event 2–DPWM count for falling DPWM A event that sets the duty ratio. Last 4 bits of the register are for high resolution control. Upper 14 bits are the number of PCLK cycle counts.
6. Event 3–DPWM count for rising DPWM B event. Last 4 bits of the register are for high resolution control. Upper 14 bits are the number of PCLK cycle counts.
7. Event 4–DPWM count for falling DPWM B event. Last 4 bits of the register are for high resolution control. Upper 14 bits are the number of PCLK cycle counts.
8. Cycle Adjust–Constant offset for Event 2 and Event 4 adjustments.

Basic comparisons between the programmed registers and the DPWM counter can create the desired edge placements in the DPWM. High resolution edge capability is available on Events 2, 3 and 4.

Figure 9-3 Multi Mode Open Loop

Figure 9-3 is for multi-mode, open loop. Open loop means that the DPWM is controlled entirely by its own registers, not by the filter output. In other words, the power supply control loop is not closed.

The Sample Trigger signals are used to trigger the Front End to sample input signals. The Blanking signals are used to blank fault measurements during noisy events, such as FET turn on and turn off. Additional DPWM modes are described below.
