Hi everyone!

I have been trying to create 3 complementary pairs of PWM outputs with a high and low channel using the IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl driver. The functionalities I need are deadtime and shifted output.
Before, I managed to create 3 complementary pairs of PWM output with deadtime using the CCU6 library, but since I also need to be able to shift the output relative to other channels, I believe this module is not suited anymore.
Thus, I land at the IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl driver. Sadly, I can not generate PWM outputs at all. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Using only IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl

#include "Ifx_Types.h"
#include "IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl.h"
// #include "IfxGtm_Atom_Dtm_PwmHl.h"
#include "PWM_Atom.h"


// Configuration
#define FXUCLK_FREQUENCY 100e6 // FXU Clock base frequency, in Hertz
#define PWM_FREQUENCY 105e3 // PWM signal frequency, in Hertz
#define PWM_PERIOD (FXUCLK_FREQUENCY / PWM_FREQUENCY) // PWM signal period, in ticks
//#define DEADTIME 200e-9 // Dead time in seconds - 200 ns. When an
// unexpected deadtime of 2.55e-x occurs,
// the deadtime is bigger than allowed.

#define NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS 1

void init_stdif_pwmhl(void)

// prepare ccx coutx in advance
IfxGtm_Atom_ToutMapP ccx[NUMBER_OF_CHANNELS];

ccx[0] = &IfxGtm_ATOM0_0_TOUT0_P02_0_OUT;

IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl_init(&pwmHl, &pwmHlConfig);
IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl_setMode(&pwmHl, Ifx_Pwm_Mode_leftAligned);

// Ifx_TimerValue tOn[2] = {PWM_PERIOD/2, PWM_PERIOD/2};
IfxGtm_Atom_PwmHl_setOnTime(&pwmHl, &tOn);

For anyone trying themselves, I've uploaded an example project to learn from.

1. It uses a PWM timer channel for the counter reset in PWM output channels (IfxGtm_Atom_Timer),
2. allows to set phase-shifted signals in PWM output channels (IfxGtm_Atom_Pwm),
3. uses the deadtime module to create complementary signals with deadtime between the signals from the PWM output channels (IfxGtm_Atom_Dtm_PwmHl),
4. uses on-board LEDs for visual debugging.

The pins are configured for the TC367.

Good luck with your goal!

Hello,

did you try using one of the trainings for GTM? I believe you have the TC367 device, therefore this should be fine for you: GTM_TOM_PWM_1_KIT_TC367_TFT with its tutorial

there are more trainings for GTM, you can search them with AURIX Development Studio when you import an AURIX project.

Hi teoBits, thanks for your response.

I have indeed tried the GTM_TOM_PWM_1_KIT_TC367_TFT tutorial, but sadly it only allowed me to set the frequency of a module and the duty cycle of a channel.
I based my work partly on this tutorial, but since I also need complementary channels, deadtime and a shifted output between different channels, this tutorial did not suffice for me.

Do you know of a tutorial which does this all? I believe there are none, sadly, so I was trying to create my own work using the iLLD documentation.

Perhaps Application Note AP32356, PWMAC (PWM Master of AC motor) would help, but we could not find the location of the project (GLT_PWMMAC_TC39x_golden). Could you provide us with a link toward myicp containing the project folder?
