Dead Time Generator

The Dead Time Generator is provided for the Timer/Counter1 PWM output pairs to allow driving

external power control switches safely. The Dead Time Generator is a separate block that can

be used to insert dead times (non-overlapping times) for the Timer/Counter1 complementary

output pairs OC1x and OC1x when the PWM mode is enabled and the COM1x1:0 bits are set to

“01”. The sharing of tasks is as follows: the Waveform Generator generates the Waveform Out-

put (OCW1x) and the Dead Time Generator generates the non-overlapping PWM output pair

from the Waveform Output. Three Dead Time Generators are provided, one for each PWM out-

put. The non-overlap time is adjustable and the PWM output and it’s complementary output are

adjusted separately, and independently for both PWM outputs.

Figure 16-6. Output Compare Unit, Block Diagram

The Dead Time Generation is based on the 4-bit down counters that count the dead time, as

shown in Figure 16-7. There is a dedicated prescaler in front of the Dead Time Generator that

can divide the Timer/Counter1 clock (PCK or CK) by 1, 2, 4 or 8. This provides for large range of

dead times that can be generated. The prescaler is controlled by two control bits DTPS11..10.

The block has also a rising and falling edge detector that is used to start the dead time counting

period. Depending on the edge, one of the transitions on the rising edges, OC1x or

OC1x is

delayed until the counter has counted to zero. The comparator is used to compare the counter

with zero and stop the dead time insertion when zero has been reached. The counter is loaded

with a 4-bit DT1H or DT1L value from DT1 I/O register, depending on the edge of the Waveform

Output (OCW1x) when the dead time insertion is started. The Output Compare Output are

delayed by one timer clock cycle at minimum from the Waveform Output when the Dead Time is

adjusted to zero. The outputs OC1x and

OC1x are inverted, if the PWM Inversion Mode bit

PWM1X is set. This will also cause both outputs to be high during the dead time.
