PWM output

Started by Herbert Demmel February 24, 2006
Hi,

I seem to miss something with setting up PWM5 output - the routine below 
sometimes works, sometimes not (depending non additional code - this 
versions below currentlly does NOT work).

Any idea what I miss to setup?

Thanks for your input.

Regards
Herbert

#include <LPC213x.H>                    /* LPC213x definitions  */

#define TICKS_PER_US            15

void io_alarm_out(unsigned int freq)
{
         // match register 0 controls the cycle frequency
         PWMMR0 = 1000000 * TICKS_PER_US / freq;

         // we want to have a duty cycle of 50% so always set PWMMR5 to 
half of PWMMR0
         PWMMR5 = PWMMR0 / 2;

         // enable PWM5 output
         PWMPCR |= (0x01 << 13);
}

int main(void)
{
         // --- PWM5 setup ---

         // Enable P0.21 to be PWM5
         PINSEL1 |= (0x01 << 10);
         PWMTCR = 1;             // enable PWM timer, let shadow register 
disabled

         // reset PWM timer when PWMMR0 matches
         PWMMCR = 0x2;

         // gives 1000Hz
         io_alarm_out(1000);

         while (1)
                 ;
}

Hallo Herbert,

Mmmmh, don't you need to turn on PWM module in PCONP? Or do you let all
peripherials active on
startup by default?

But bit #3 in PWMTCR enables PWM module. Description of this bit says:
"When one, PWM mode is enabled. PWM mode causes shadow registers..."
(2294's datasheet, p.233)

After you have enabled PWM module (if bit #3 in PWMTCR is set) and set up a
value in a PWMMRx
register you just need to set the appropriated bit in PWMLER register to take
effect of new PWMMRx
value.

You do not need using PWMLER register if you hold PWM in reset state during
changing PWMMRx values
(see changes above).

Try it!

Oooops, sorry! Do not comment PWMMCR in main(). But you can uncomment PWMTCR
statement instead.

Sten,

thank you for your valuable input. I've now changed the source code 
according to your comments and turned on power for PWM0 (although it should 
be on, the code below is the only code currently running) but it does not 
work yet.

I'm using a LPC2136 with Keil C V.2.42

Any further ideas why the stuff does not work???

Herbert

Sten,

Sorry, the code now works, I just forgot to enable the "Run application 
after download" in my test program, so the test program never started (my 
original application did and had the problem not to start the PWM).

Thanks a lot
Herbert
