The dead-band control provides non-overlapping complementary outputs to prevent shoot-through current when the outputs switch. Dead-band operation is employed for Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge modes. The CWG contains two 6-bit dead-band counters. One is used for the rising edge of the input source control in Half-Bridge mode or for reverse direction change dead-band in Full-Bridge mode. The other is used for the falling edge of the input source control in Half-Bridge mode or for forward direction change dead-band in Full-Bridge mode.
Dead-band is timed by counting CWG clock periods from zero up to the value in the rising or falling dead-band counter registers.
