I am currently writing some firmware for an LPC4078FBD208 using the LPC Peripheral Driver Library.

I need to ensure syncronization between PWM0 and PWM1.

I would like some clarity on the use of the Master Disable (MDIS) bit in the PWM Timer Control Register. I have read the user manual (UM10562), but I find it is lacking in detail in this area.

These are the bullet pointed steps I have taken to enable syncronization between PWM0 and PWM1.

[list]
[*]Enable power to PWM0 and PWM1.
[*]Set PWM0 and PWM1 prescaler.
[*]Set Master Disable (MIDS) to 1.
[*]Set GPIO direction for each pwm channel pin.
[*]Set IOCON for each pwm channel pin.
[*]Set PWM0 and PWM1 match register 0.
[*]Set PWM0 and PWM1 interrupt settings.
[*]Set PWM0 and PWM1 channel 1-6 settings.
[*]Reset PWM0 and PWM1 counter.
[*]Enable PWM mode for PWM0 and PWM1.
[*]Set counter enable for PWM0 and PWM1.
[*]Set Master Disable (MIDS) to 0 to ensure syncronised starting of the counters.
[/list]

Any feedback on whether this is the correct procedure and use of MDIS to ensure syncronization would be much appreaciated.

    PWM_TIMERCFG_Type PWMCfgDat;

    // Set match value for PWM match channel 0 and update immediately.
    // PWM levels are set between 0 - 1000ppt (0 - 100%). A level of 100% = 1000ppt.
    /* 26.4.1 Rules for Single Edge Controlled PWM Outputs
       1. All single edge controlled PWM outputs go high at the beginning of a PWM cycle
          unless their match value is equal to 0.
       2. Each PWM output will go low when its match value is reached. If no match occurs (i.e.
          the match value is greater than the PWM rate), the PWM output remains continuously
          high. */
