KL16Z Adjusting TPM duration through DMA

[turtius]

Hello, I have setup TPM for PWM which is center aligned. Now  for my application i needed to change the frequency with a given duration and that was done by updating the MOD register and using a timer  to stop the pulse when the duration was reached by clearing the MOD register but this consumed far too many cycles so i started looking at DMA .So regarding the subject, is there a way to set the duration of the pulse through DMA so that the buffer does not need to hold every single pulse?

Hi,

You do not need DMA. From this picture, CMOD[1:0] != 0:0, you use the CPWM mod. So you can directly write the new MOD value. The value will stored in buffer. When the counter changes from MOD to MOD-1, the MOD will updated from buffer. And your duration is also changed.

Have a great day,
TIC
