Section 8 8-Bit PWM Timer (PWM)
This LSI has an on-chip pulse width modulation (PWM) timer with eight outputs. Eight output
waveforms are generated from a common time base, enabling PWM output with a high carrier
frequency to be produced using pulse division. Connecting a low pass filter externally to the LSI
enables the PWM to function as an 8-bit D/A converter.
8.1 Features
• Operable at a maximum carrier frequency of 625 kHz using pulse division (at 10 MHz
operation)
• Duty cycles from 0 to 100% with 1/256 resolution (100% duty realized by port output)
• Direct or inverted PWM output, and PWM output enable/disable control
Figure 8.1 shows a block diagram of the PWM timer.
