6 PWM Output

[riteshpanchal00]

I am using LPCXpresso845MAX board for testing my application. 

I required 6 PWM outputs (3 complimentary pairs of PWM). 

I refereed 'AN11538_SCTimer_PWM_Cookbook v5.0.pdf' and i came to know that i can use SCTimer to generate complementary PWM.

I am using MCUXpresso IDE and Peripheral Config Tool to init SCTimer. I can able to generate 4 PWM outputs (2 complementary) using SCTimer. But when i tried to add another PWM output tool show me error. 'Each PWM output internally allocate 2 events. And Max Number of events supported by SCT0 is 8' See attached image.

So how can i generate 6 PWM outputs at a time?

@riteshpanchal00 I'm way late to this conversation, but I just solved this - without the Peripherals configuration tool, unfortunately - and in case anyone else runs across this thread, here's where I provided a working project for this same problem.  It's on an LPC832, but the code should work pretty similarly.

Hi, Ritesh,

The generic SCTimer/PWM module supports 16 events and 16 states, but the LPC804 is a scaled SCTimer/PWM module, it only supports 8 events and 8 states. The AN11538 focuses on generic SCTimer/PWM module, so if you use the code directly, maybe there is issue.

Hope it can help you

Hi XiangJun Rong,

Thanks for the Reply.

I’m using LPC845. And as per its data sheet it only supports 8 events and 8 states.

I'm using MCUXpresso Config Tool for SCTimer Initialisation. The tool don’t allow me to enable more than 4 PWM outputs. I had attached error snapshot in my first post.

So can you confirm that In LPC845, is it possible to use 6 PWM output using SCTimer?

If yes could you guide me how can I initialise using MCUXPRESSO config tool or manually register config !??
