Dead-Band Generator (DB) Submodule
action-qualifier submodule to generate the signal as shown for EPWMxA.
• Mode 6: Bypass rising-edge-delay and Mode 7: Bypass falling-edge-delay
Finally the last two entries in Table 2-13 show combinations where either the falling-edge-delay (FED)
or rising-edge-delay (RED) blocks are bypassed.

EPWMxA Out = EPWMxA In (No Delay)
6 0 or 1 0 or 1 0 1
EPWMxB Out = EPWMxA In with Falling Edge Delay
EPWMxA Out = EPWMxA In with Rising Edge Delay
7 0 or 1 0 or 1 1 0
EPWMxB Out = EPWMxB In with No Delay

These are classical dead-band modes and assume that DBCTL[IN_MODE] = 0,0. That is, EPWMxA in is the source for both the
falling-edge and rising-edge delays. Enhanced, non-traditional modes can be achieved by changing the IN_MODE
configuration.
