Low-level PWM peripheral driver. More...
Low-level PWM peripheral driver.
This interface enables access to CPU peripherals generating PWM signals. On most platforms, this interface will be implemented based on hardware timers, though some CPUs provide dedicated PWM peripherals.
The characteristics of a PWM signal can be defined by three basic parameters, namely the frequency, the duty cycle, and the operational mode. This interface supports basic PWM generation in left-aligned, right-aligned, and center mode. Additionally the interface supports the definition of the used resolution, defining the granularity with which one can specify the duty cycle. This brings more flexibility to the configuration of the frequency, especially on systems with low system clocks.
Typically, a single PWM device (e.g. hardware timer) supports PWM signal generation on multiple pins in parallel. While the duty cycle is selectable for each channel individually, the frequency and resolution are shared for all channels.
The mapping/configuration of PWM devices (timers) and the used pins has to be done in the board configuration (the board's `periph_conf.h).
When using the PWM interface, first thing you have to do is initialize the PWM device with the targeted mode, frequency, and resolution settings. Once the device is initialized, it will start the generation of PWM signals on all configured pins immediately, with an initial duty cycle of 0. Use the pwm_set() function to change the duty cycle for a given channel. If you want to disable the PWM generation again, simply call pwm_poweroff().
After initialization, the a PWM peripheral should be powered on and active. When manually stopped using the pwm_poweroff() function, the PWM generation should be stopped for all channels and the PWM peripheral should be fully power off (e.g. through peripheral clock gating). Once being re-enabled by calling the pwm_poweron() function, the PWM peripheral should transparently continue its previously configured operation, including the last active duty cycle values.
While a PWM device is active, some implementations might need to block certain power modes.

Initialize a PWM device.
The PWM module is based on virtual PWM devices, which can have one or more channels. The PWM devices can be configured to run with a given frequency and resolution, which are always identical for the complete device, hence for every channel on a device.
The desired frequency and resolution may not be possible on a given device when chosen too large. In this case the PWM driver will always keep the resolution and decrease the frequency if needed. To verify the correct settings compare the returned value which is the actually set frequency.

| void pwm_poweroff | ( | pwm_t | dev | ) |
Stop PWM generation on the given device.
This function stops the PWM generation on all configured channels for the given device and powers down the given PWM peripheral.
| [in] | dev | device to stop |
| void pwm_poweron | ( | pwm_t | dev | ) |
Resume PWM generation on the given device.
When this function is called, the given PWM device is powered on and continues its previously configured operation. The duty cycle of each channel will be the value that was last set.
This function must not be called before the PWM device was initialized.

| void pwm_set | ( | pwm_t | dev, |

Set the duty-cycle for a given channel of the given PWM device.
The duty-cycle is set in relation to the chosen resolution of the given device. If value > resolution, value is set to resolution.
| [in] | dev | the PWM device to set |
| [in] | channel | the channel of the given device to set |
| [in] | value | the desired duty-cycle to set |
