Wave Mode

This parameter sets the generation pattern of the carrier wave of a signal. If the generation mode is set to Symmetric, the carrier is a triangular waveform.

An Asymmetric generation mode corresponds to a sawtoothed carrier waveform.

  • As a result, a symmetric PWM signal has the same amount of time between the beginning of the period and the rising edge of its active phase as between the falling edge of the active phase and the end of the period.
  • For an asymmetric PWM signal, the rising edge of the active phase will be aligned with the beginning of the period.

Update Time

This parameter allows the user to choose the time the duty cycle of the PWM signal would be updated.

  • If Beginning is selected, the duty cycle is updated at the beginning of the PWM period.
  • If Middle is selected, it's updated at the middle of the PWM period.
  • If Both is selected, the duty cycle is updated at both the beginning and middle of the PWM period.

Model period ratio

This parameter allows the user to set the frequency of the PWM signal. The frequency of the PWM signal is given by 1 / (Timestep * ModelRatio).

Timestep is timestep of the CPU model and ModelRatio is the Model period ratio parameter

Phase (deg)This parameter is used to specify the phase of the PWM signal. Accepted values for this field are any floating-point values between 0 and 360.

Dead Time

This parameter is only visible if the Output complementary checkbox is selected.

The inclusion of dead time reduces the length of the active phase of the two complementary waveforms, thus reducing their duty cycle.

The value in this field denotes an amount of time (in us) during which the two complementary signals remain in their inactive phases.

Accepted values for this field are any floating-point values between 20e-6 and 0.
