DO-PWM – Direct output PWM

The Direct output PWM block sets PWM output(s) directly to ‘0’ or ‘1’.

This technique is typically used for Model Predictive Control (TN162) or Direct Torque Control (AN004).

Like the other PWM blocks, the Direct output PWM block supports dead-time generation and can be activated or deactivated. More information is available on the PWM page.

Simulink block

Signal specification

• The input in sets the PWM output to ‘1′ (in>0) or to ‘0’ (in<=0)
• The input A allows the activation (>0) or deactivation (<=0) of the PWM output(s).
• The output(s) is/are the generated PWM signal(s), according to the selected output mode. The output(s) is/are only used in simulation.

Parameters

• Device ID selects which B-Box/B-Board to address when used in a multi-device configuration.
• Output mode selects between a single PWM signal or complementary signals with a deadtime.
• Addressed PWM selects the PWM outputs to address.
• Show ”activate” input makes the A signal input visible. If not checked, the block is active by default.
• Dead-time duration: configures the dead-time duration if the Output mode is set at Dual (PWM_H + PWM_L).

PLECS block

Signal specification

• The input in sets the PWM output to ‘1′ (in>0) or to ‘0’ (in<=0)
• The input A allows the activation (A>0) or deactivation (A<=0) of the PWM output(s).
• The target outport(s) (only visible at the atomic subsystem level) is/are the generated PWM signal(s), according to the selected output mode. The output(s) is/are only used in simulation.

Parameters

• Device ID selects which B-Box/B-Board to address when used in a multi-device configuration.
• Output mode selects between a single PWM signal or complementary signals with a deadtime.
• Output lane(s) or Output channel(s) (vectorizable) selects the PWM outputs to address.
• PWM activation makes the A signal input visible if the option “Use block input“ is selected. If not, the CB-PWM block is activated by default.
• Dead-time duration configures the dead-time duration if the Output mode is set at Dual (PWM_H + PWM_L).
