Hello

What is the maximum input clock frequency for PWM block in PSOC 61x devices?

With system clock at 150MHz, Peri_Clock at 75MHz, I am only able to get 37.5MHz maximum clock input to the PWM block. Is there a way to get faster clock input?

Thank you

Hello,

Sorry for late response.

Unfortunately, the program still does not work. The compiled project above works perfectly but as soon as I try the same settings in my own program, it does not compile.

Here is the code, and I think I have done exactly the same as the above mentioned design.

Please see if I did something wrong.

Thanks

If you set the system clock to 100 MHz, you can set the PeriClk at 100 MHz as well. (CM4, CM0+ and PeriClk all at 100 MHz), which allows input 50 MHz to the PWM block.

Hi @Mrinal 

There is no internal clock in PWM. You must attach a clock source. One of the peripheral clock (PeriClk) dividers should be used as a clock source. 
You can set the FLL or PLL to 100MHz and select it as the source to the peri clock (ensure that the divider value for clk_peri is set to 1) as can be seen in the image below:

You can use the following settings for the clock component to provide a 100MHz input to the PWM:

Thanks for the reply.

Just wondering whether you were able to compile the design with 100MHz input?

Because when I try the same it gives an error saying PWM input clock cannot exceed half of peri clock.

Please check, perhaps I missed something.

Thanks

Hi @Mrinal 

Yes, I was able to compile the project. I also created a sample project for the PSoC 6 WIFI BT Pioneer kit to see if I am able to see the expected output at this frequency and it worked for me.

In the project, I have configured the PWM with an input clock of 100MHz, 32 bit counter, period = 100000000 counts, Compare = 50000000. Therefore the duty cycle of the output PWM is 50% and I observe the LED connected to the PWM output to blink accordingly.

You can compare my clock configurations in the attached project and see if they are similar to yours.

Hi @Mrinal 

Sorry for the delay in response I missed your reply

The reason that you observing the issue in your project is that you are using a UDB components in your design. When using UDBs the clock to UDBs cannot exceed half of peri clock.

While in the case of my project I have used a fixed-function PWM block with no UDBs in my design. Therefore I was able to the PWM directly using a peri-clock with a frequency of 100MHz.
