The PWM time base can be configured for four different
modes of operation:
• Free-Running mode
• Single-Shot mode
• Continuous Up/Down Count mode
• Continuous Up/Down Count mode with interrupts
for double updates
These four modes are selected by the
PTMOD1:PTMOD0 bits in the PTCON0 register. The
Free-Running mode produces edge-aligned PWM
generation. The Continuous Up/Down Count modes
produce center-aligned PWM generation. The
Single-Shot mode allows the PWM module to support
pulse control of certain Electronically Commutated
Motors (ECMs) and produces edge-aligned operation.
