Please kindly help about half bridge PWM - ECCP unit 16F887

Hi everyone

I would like to use half bridge pwm from ECCP unit of pic 16F887.
My code is as below:

IF you change the mode from 'active-high' to 'active-low' that may do what you want.
I can't test my idea today though...not 'on the bench'.

Hi

Thank you for your help.

What I mean is: I wonder if we can set spwm at pin P1B ( P1B will be at high level first ) and then pwm at Pin P1A will vary accordance with duty cycle from P1B.

Example: If I set 60 % duty cycle at P1B so P1B will be at high level 60% and P1A will be at high level at the rest 40 %...

I'm not so good at writing in English. Hope you can guest what I mean.

Thank you!

Temtronic's suggestion should do this.

Understand:

PWM 'A' 10% _________-
PWM 'A' 20% ________--
etc.

Now if you select 'active low' instead, you get:

PWM 'A' 10% ---------_
PWM 'A' 20% --------__

The output is inverted.

Now the PWM 'B' output is the inverted version of 'A' (except if you start
using 'deadband'), is inverting both, gives you the waveform that would
normally be on 'A', on the 'B' pin, and the waveform that would normally
be on 'B' on the 'A' pin.

In the data sheet, look at the diagram entitled
"EXAMPLE PWM (ENHANCED MODE) OUTPUT RELATIONSHIPS
(ACTIVE-HIGH STATE)",
and compare with the next diagram entitled:
"EXAMPLE ENHANCED PWM OUTPUT RELATIONSHIPS (ACTIVE-LOW
STATE)".

CCP_PWM_L_L gives this.

Hi Temtronic, PCM programmer and Ttelmah

Thank you very much for your kindly help! I had changed my code same as what you suggested and then testing it with the real PCB. It worked really well as expected.

Thank you once again!
Have a nice weekend!
