Section 8 Multifunction Timer Pulse Unit (MTU)
Initialization: In complementary PWM mode, there are six registers that must be initialized.
Before setting complementary PWM mode with bits MD3 to MD0 in the timer mode register
(TMDR), the following initial register values must be set.
TGRC_3 operates as the buffer register for TGRA_3, and should be set with 1/2 the PWM carrier
cycle + dead time Td. The timer cycle buffer register (TCBR) operates as the buffer register for
the timer cycle data register (TCDR), and should be set with 1/2 the PWM carrier cycle. Set dead
time Td in the timer dead time data register (TDDR).
Set the respective initial PWM duty cycle values in buffer registers TGRD_3, TGRC_4, and
TGRD_4.
The values set in the five buffer registers excluding TDDR are transferred simultaneously to the
corresponding compare registers when complementary PWM mode is set.
Set TCNT_4 to H'0000 before setting complementary PWM mode.

Note: The TGRC_3 set value must be the sum of 1/2 the PWM carrier cycle set in TCBR and
dead time Td set in TDDR.
PWM Output Level Setting: In complementary PWM mode, the PWM pulse output level is set
with bits OLSN and OLSP in the timer output control register (TOCR).
The output level can be set for each of the three positive phases and three negative phases of 6-
phase output.
Complementary PWM mode should be cleared before setting or changing output levels.
Dead Time Setting: In complementary PWM mode, PWM pulses are output with a non-
overlapping relationship between the positive and negative phases. This non-overlap time is called
the dead time.
