HBRIDGE component

CAL = Code Abstraction Layer - Allows one code base to run on a wide range of chips. A low level implementation giving direct access to the H-Bridge peripheral. Currently only supports compatible 8-bit PIC devices.

Detailed description

Half Bridge Application

A Half Bridge type output has two output signals A and B.

Full Bridge Application

Full Bridge type output has four output signals A, B, C and D.

Examples

A simple proof of concept example to drive a full bridge output with varying speed and direction.

Property reference

	Properties
	Enable
	Settings
	Channel
PWM Channel selector
	Mode
Selects between full bridge and half bridge output modes. Some H-Bridge channels may only have one mode in which case the property selector will only show the available mode.
	Polarity
Selects the active output voltage. Active high - Pins will be low when inactive and high when active. Active Low- Pins will be high when inactive and low when active.
	Timer
Timer associated with PWM to drive the output. Warning - All PWM channels linked to the same timer will share the same period and prescaler settings.
	Prescaler Divide
Prescaler Divider value
	Period Register
PWM Period Register value
	Dead Band
	Rising Bits
Number of bits assigned to the rising edge dead band counter. Auto populated based on selected target chip.
	Falling Bits
Number of bits assigned to the falling edge dead band counter. Auto populated based on selected target chip.
	Rising Count
Number of cycles to wait after a falling edge and before a rising edge.
	Falling Count
Number of cycles to wait after a rising edge and before a falling edge.
	Connections
	A Pin
Output Pin A
	B Pin
Output Pin B
	C Pin
