PWM Dead time

Hello:

Has there been any desire or efforts to include the dead time for PWM signals in 16 bit pics?

If not then:

Any future thoughts for this?
Any ideas on implementing dead time?

I believe that a significant amount of hardware and thought is required in order to allow H bridge transistor shutoff time to occur,

Thoughts?

Hi

This gives a basic overview of H-Bridge for those unaware of the potential problem

Microchip have a lot of resources regarding control and implementation and many PICs have programmable Dead Band

This also give a little insight on calculation using switching times of MOSFETS

I was wondering about the implementation in flowcode?

Hi

Outputs > DC Motor has properties for using hardware H-Bridge that include setting dead band values. I've not used it though.

I'll check that out - Thank you.
