Specifying the Carrier Period and Duty Cycle
The reload register (WG_RELOAD) and the phase compare registers (WG_COMPx) control the
carrier period and duty cycle. Write a value to the reload register (Figure 9-10) to establish the
carrier period. Write a value to each phase compare register to specify the length of time that the
associated outputs will remain asserted.
WG_RELOAD
The waveform generator reload (WG_RELOAD) register and the phase compare registers
(WG_COMP x ) control the carrier period and duty cycle. Write a value to the reload register to
establish the carrier period.
Changing the WG_RELOAD value changes both the carrier period and the duty cycle because the
outputs remain asserted for a constant length of time, while the counter takes longer to cycle. To
change the carrier period without changing the duty cycle, you must proportionally change both
WG_RELOAD and WG_COMP x at the same time, immediately after the interrupt.
