Pwm with open drain function

[lpcware]

Hey,

i want to create a PWM Signal with open drain output at the Pin P1[18] on my LPC1769.

When I configure a normal PWM Signal it works very good, but when I configure the Pin as open drain, nothing changes..
For setting the Open drain function I am using the function from LPCOpen.

Is it possible to create an open drain PWM signal and if, what is my fault?

I want to control a servo, which needs a PWM with 5V. The PWM cable has a 5V Pull up.

thanks,
Marvin

thank you for your help.
The Servo accepts a 3,3V PWM, so I used a normal PWM and everything works.

Just put a schottky diode in series. . .

but actually, as the 1769 has 5V tolerant pins, then driving it to 3.3V won't do anything any harm, even if it already has a pull-up. The servo probably has a threshold of 2.4V, which you will easily achieve by driving it to 3.3V, and doing so give a sharper edge with faster rise time.

You are trying to use PWM like a simple timer. That's not working  :((

The idea to change match registers in a cycle contradicts the shadow register mechanism  :O

24.6.7 PWM Latch Enable Register (PWM1LER - 0x4001 8050)
The PWM Latch Enable Registers are used to control the update of the PWM Match registers when they are used for PWM generation. [color=#f00]When software writes to the location of a PWM Match register while the Timer is in PWM mode, the value is captured, but not used immediately.[/color]
[color=#f00]When a PWM Match 0 event occurs (normally also resetting the timer in PWM mode), the contents of shadow registers will be transferred to the shadow registers if the corresponding bit in the Latch Enable Register has been set.[/color] At that point, the new values will take effect and determine the course of the next PWM cycle. Once the transfer of new values has taken place, all bits of the LER are automatically cleared. Until the corresponding bit in the PWMLER is set and a PWM Match 0 event occurs, any value written to the PWM Match registers has no effect on PWM operation.

I would recommend to use PWM as PWM  :)

At the buttom you can See my Code. It doesn't work very good.

---

Probably because there's no main  :D

Could be useful to post a complete project  :)

Hey,
i started to wirte a PWM function with the interrupt handler and the Output Pin defined as Open Drain GPIO

At the buttom you can See my Code. It doesn't work very good.
I am becoming a PWM, but it's length isn't variable. in pwmUpTime and pwmDownTime i can write everything, but the the signal is everytime the same.

although the rising edge is not very clear..

Can you help me?

thanks,
marvin

'Open drain mode' is not working with PWM  :((

In your case I would suggest to use a real open drain and add a FET  :)

Of course you can also use open-drain pins P0[27]/P0[28] as GPIO and use PWM interrupts to switch them...

I don't use LPCOpen, but did you check that the function you use to set open drain mode leaves the function code
for the pin as 'PWM' rather than setting it back to 'GPIO'?
