Dead-Band Generator (DB) Submodule
The dead-band submodule supports independent values for rising-edge (RED) and falling-edge (FED)
delays. The amount of delay is programmed using the DBRED and DBFED registers. These are 10-bit
registers and their value represents the number of time-base clock, TBCLK, periods a signal edge is
delayed by. For example, the formula to calculate falling-edge-delay and rising-edge-delay are:
FED = DBFED × T
TBCLK
RED = DBRED × T
TBCLK
Where T
TBCLK
is the period of TBCLK, the prescaled version of SYSCLKOUT.
For convenience, delay values for various TBCLK options are shown in Table 2-14 .
