25 Pulse-Width Modulator Interface25.1 Overview25.2 SignalsThe <strong>PXA3xx</strong> processor family pulse-width modulator (PWM) interface contains four pins that can beconfigured to generate periodic output signals. Configuration of the PWMs is accomplished throughsoftware and is described in detail in <strong>Marvell</strong> ® PXA30x, PXA31x, and PXA32x Processors Vol. IV:Serial Controller Configuration Developers Manual, “Section 9: Pulse-Width Modulator Controller”.PWM signals are implemented through GPIOs. Therefore, the hardware considerations necessaryfor the PWM signals are the same as that of the GPIOs.The PWM signals are implemented through the GPIOs of the <strong>PXA3xx</strong> processor family. Refer to theGPIO alternate-function table in <strong>Marvell</strong> ® PXA30x, PXA31x, and PXA32x Processors Vol. I: Systemand Timer Configuration Developers Manual , “Section 5: General-Purpose I/O Unit” for the GPIOassignments of the PWM signals.See Table 81 for the list of signals controlled by the PWM controller of the <strong>PXA3xx</strong> processor family.Table 81:PWM Interface Signal ListSignal Name Type DescriptionPWM_OUT0 Output Pulse-width modulated output signal for PWM0PWM_OUT1 Output Pulse-width modulated output signal for PWM1PWM_OUT2 Output Pulse-width modulated output signal for PWM2PWM_OUT3 Output Pulse-width modulated output signal for PWM325.3 Block DiagramThe connection of the PWM to the peripheral device using the PWM is typically direct. However, ifthe PWM is used as a software-controlled voltage source, a low-pass filter must be placed in line. Anexample of a software controlled voltage source is for the contrast control on an LCD panel. If thePWM output is used for generating audio, an appropriate filter is also required. In this case, the filteris a band-pass filter.The specification and design of the filter depends on the exact purpose of the application. See theblock diagram for a design requiring a low-pass or band-pass filter in Figure 87.Copyright © 2009 <strong>Marvell</strong>Doc. No. MV-S301368-00 Rev. AApril 6, 2009, Released Page 193
