Delta modulation
To generate a PWM waveform of triangular wave modulation, set “0” in the modulation mode select
bit (bit 6 at 0348
16
). Also, set “1” in the Timers A4-1, A1-1, A2-1 control bit (bit 1 at 0349
16
). In this
mode, each of Timers A4, A1, and A2 has two timer registers, and alternately reloads the timer
register’s content to the counter every time Timer B2 counter’s content becomes 0000
16
. If “1” is set to
the effective interrupt output specification bit (bit 1 at 0348
16
), the frequency of interrupt requests that
occur every time the Timer B2 counter’s value becomes 0000
16
can be set by use of the Timer B2
counter (034D
16
) . The frequency of occurrences is dependent on the reload value of Timer B2. The
reload value cannot be "0".
Setting “1” in the effective interrupt output specification bit (bit 1 at 0348
16
) provides the means to
choose which value of the Timer A1 reload control signal to use, “0” or “1”, to cause Timer B2’s
interrupt request to occur. To make this selection, use the effective interrupt output polarity selection
bit (bit 0 at 0348
16
).
An example of U phase waveform is shown in Figure 1.74, and the description of waveform output
workings is given below. Set “1” in DU0 (bit 0 at 034A
16
). And set “0” in DUB0 (bit 1 at 034A
16
). In
addition, set “0” in DU1 (bit 0 at 034B
16
) and set “1” in DUB1 (bit 1 at 034B
16
). Also, set “0” in the
effective interrupt output specification bit (bit 1 at 0348
16
) to set a value in the timer B2 interrupt
occurrence frequency set counter. By this setting, a Timer B2 interrupt occurs when the Timer B2
counter’s content becomes 0000
16
as many as (setting) times. Furthermore, set “1” in the effective
interrupt output specification bit (bit 1 at 0348
16
), set in the effective interrupt polarity select bit (bit 0
at 0348
16
) and set "1" in the interrupt occurrence frequency set counter (034D16). These settings
cause a Timer B2 interrupt to occur every other interval when the U phase output goes to “H”.
When the Timer B2 counter’s content becomes 0000
16
, Timer A4 starts outputting one-shot pulses. In
this instance, the content of DU1 (bit 0 at 034B
16
) and that of DU0 (bit 0 at 034A
16
) are set in the three-
phase output shift register (U phase), the content of DUB1 (bit 1 at 034B
16
) and that of DUB0 (bit 1 at
034A
16
) are set in the three-phase shift register (U phase). After triangular wave modulation mode is
selected, however, no setting is made in the shift register even though the Timer B2 counter’s content
becomes 0000
16
.
The value of DU0 and that of DUB0 are output to the U terminal (P8
0
) and to the U terminal (P8
1
)
respectively. When the Timer A4 counter counts the value written to Timer A4 (038F
16
, 038E
16
) and
when Timer A4 finishes outputting one-shot pulses, the three-phase shift register’s content is shifted
one position, and the value of DU1 and that of DUB1 are output to the U phase output signal and to U
phase output signal respectively. At this time, one-shot pulses are output from the timer for setting
dead time used for setting the time over which the “L” level of the U phase waveform does not lap over
the “L” level of the U phase waveform, which has the opposite phase of the former. The U phase
waveform output that started from the “H” level keeps its level until the timer for setting dead time
finishes outputting one-shot pulses even though the three-phase output shift register’s content
changes from “1” to “0” by the effect of the one-shot pulses. When the timer for setting dead time
