PWMPulse Width Modulation API • Achieves PWM by cascading 2 timers… • The output of lower order will be fed to input of upper order timer… • The output of lower order timer is also used to control the pulse width… • The output of higher order timer will decide the period… • Duty cycle = pulse width/period
Timer/ Counter 2 Pulse width Control PWM1 PWM1 output Timer/ Counter 3 Period Control Pulse width Control Period Control PWM1 output About PWM
API Calls • naPwmOpen • Opens the specified channel and returns the handle • naPwmSetPulseWidth • Sets the pulse width and period in nanoseconds, returns the actual value set • naPwmStart • Enables the PWM channel • naPwmStop • Disables the PWM channel • naPwmClose • Closes the channel and releases the resources
