Is it possible to configure 27 PWM channels using SCT timer in LPC1549?

Can you provide initialization routine or state machine diagram for the same?

No. SCT0 and SCT1 have 7 outputs available on external pins each. SCT2 and SCT3 have 6 outputs available on external pins each. Therefore a theoretical maximum is 7+7+6+6=26 externally available PWM outputs.

1. LPC15XX.pdf:

Configurable PWM/timer/motor control subsystem:
 Up to four 32-bit counter/timers or up to eight 16-bit counter/timers or combinations
of 16-bit and 32-bit timers.
 Up to 28 match outputs and 22 configurable capture inputs with input multiplexer.
 Up to 28 PWM outputs total.

2. UM10736.pdf
a) page 222
PWM features:
– Counters can be used in conjunction with match registers to toggle outputs and
create time-proportioned PWM signals.
– Up to 8 single-edge or dual-edge controlled PWM outputs with independent duty
cycles and common PWM cycle length.

b) page 223
10 outputs (some outputs are connected to multiple locations)
– Three outputs connected to external pins through the switch matrix as movable
functions.
– Five outputs connected to external pins through the switch matrix as fixed-pin
functions.
– Two outputs connected to the SCTIPU to use as sample and abort inputs.
– One output connected to the other large SCT
– Four outputs connected to one small SCT
– Two outputs connected to each ADC trigger input

c) page 268
PWM features:
– Counters can be used in conjunction with match registers to toggle outputs and
create time-proportioned PWM signals.
– Up to six single-edge or dual-edge controlled PWM outputs with independent duty
cycles if configured as 32-bit timers.

d) page 269
6 outputs (some outputs are connected to multiple locations)
– Three outputs connected to external pins through the switch matrix as movable
functions.
– Three outputs connected to external pins through the switch matrix as fixed-pin
functions.
– Two outputs connected to the SCT IPU to use as sample and abort inputs.
– Four outputs connected to the accompanying large SCT
– Two outputs connected to each ADC trigger input

From above points, total PWM outputs possible according to LPC15XX.pdf is 28.
and according to UM10736.pdf, total possible = a +b+c+d = 8+8+6+6 = 28.

But, i doubt if it is possible or not because my project and micro controller selection is based on this query.

So what's not clear there?

Just use LQFP100 and start with sample 'periph_sct_pwm' ...

Hi ramniraj1,
In LQFP100 package, all 28 PWMs are available at the pins. Although SCT0 and SCT1 has 10 outputs each, all of them are not coming out to pins.

See below break-up.

SCT0 -> (Out0 to Out7)                   -> 8 Outputs   connected to pins
SCT1 -> (Out0 to Out7)                    -> 8 Outputs   connected to pins
SCT2 -> (Out0 to Out5)                   -> 6 Outputs   connected to pins
SCT3 -> (Out0 to Out5)                   -> 6 Outputs   connected to pins
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total SCT outputs                          -> 8+8+6+6 =28      connected to pins

Dear MC,

Thanks for your suggestion. :)
