47.12.1 Dead-Time Assignment
The Dead-Time Control Register 2 (PxDTCON2) contains control bits that allow the two
programmable dead times to be assigned to each of the complementary outputs. There are
two dead-time assignment control bits for each of the complementary outputs. For example,
the Dead-Time Select for PWM1 Signal Going Active (DTS1A) and Dead-Time Select for PWM
I/O Pair 1 Signal Going Inactive (DTS1I) control bits select the dead times to be used for the
PWM1H1/PWM1L1 complementary output pair. The pair of dead-time selection control bits are
referred to as the dead-time-select-active and dead-time-select-inactive control bits,
respectively. The function of each bit in a pair is as follows:
The DTS3A:DTS1A control bits select the dead time that is to be inserted before the
high-side output is driven active.
The DTS3I:DTS1I control bits select the dead time that is to be inserted before the low-side
PWM output is driven active.
Table 47-3 summarizes the function of each dead-time selection control bit.

47.12.2 Dead-Time Ranges
Dead Time Unit A and Dead Time Unit B are set by selecting an input clock prescaler value
and a 6-bit unsigned dead-time count value.
Four input clock prescaler selections have been provided to allow a suitable range of dead
times based on the device operating frequency. The clock prescaler option can be selected
independently for each of the two dead-time values. The dead-time clock prescaler values are
selected using the Dead Time Unit A. The Prescale Select (DTAPS) bits<1:0> and Dead Time
Unit B Prescale Select (DTBPS) bits<1:0> in the Dead-Time Control Register 1
(PxDTCON1<15:14> and PxDTCON1<7:6>) SFR. The following clock prescaler options can
be selected for each of the dead-time values:
