|
||||
class PWM -- pulse width modulation
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
This class provides pulse width modulation output.
|
||||
|
||||
Example usage::
|
||||
|
||||
from machine import PWM
|
||||
|
||||
pwm = PWM(pin) # create a PWM object on a pin
|
||||
pwm.duty_u16(32768) # set duty to 50%
|
||||
|
||||
# reinitialise with a period of 200us, duty of 5us
|
||||
pwm.init(freq=5000, duty_ns=5000)
|
||||
|
||||
pwm.duty_ns(3000) # set pulse width to 3us
|
||||
|
||||
pwm.deinit()
|
||||
|
||||
Constructors
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. class:: PWM(dest, *, freq, duty_u16, duty_ns)
|
||||
|
||||
Construct and return a new PWM object using the following parameters:
|
||||
|
||||
- *dest* is the entity on which the PWM is output, which is usually a
|
||||
:ref:`machine.Pin <machine.Pin>` object, but a port may allow other values,
|
||||
like integers.
|
||||
- *freq* should be an integer which sets the frequency in Hz for the
|
||||
PWM cycle.
|
||||
- *duty_u16* sets the duty cycle as a ratio ``duty_u16 / 65535``.
|
||||
- *duty_ns* sets the pulse width in nanoseconds.
|
||||
|
||||
Setting *freq* may affect other PWM objects if the objects share the same
|
||||
underlying PWM generator (this is hardware specific).
|
||||
Only one of *duty_u16* and *duty_ns* should be specified at a time.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PWM.init(*, freq, duty_u16, duty_ns)
|
||||
|
||||
Modify settings for the PWM object. See the above constructor for details
|
||||
about the parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PWM.deinit()
|
||||
|
||||
Disable the PWM output.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PWM.freq([value])
|
||||
|
||||
Get or set the current frequency of the PWM output.
|
||||
|
||||
With no arguments the frequency in Hz is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
With a single *value* argument the frequency is set to that value in Hz. The
|
||||
method may raise a ``ValueError`` if the frequency is outside the valid range.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PWM.duty_u16([value])
|
||||
|
||||
Get or set the current duty cycle of the PWM output, as an unsigned 16-bit
|
||||
value in the range 0 to 65535 inclusive.
|
||||
|
||||
With no arguments the duty cycle is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
With a single *value* argument the duty cycle is set to that value, measured
|
||||
as the ratio ``value / 65535``.
|
||||
|
||||
.. method:: PWM.duty_ns([value])
|
||||
|
||||
Get or set the current pulse width of the PWM output, as a value in nanoseconds.
|
||||
|
||||
With no arguments the pulse width in nanoseconds is returned.
|
||||
|
||||
With a single *value* argument the pulse width is set to that value.
|
||||
|
||||
Specific PWM class implementations
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The following concrete class(es) implement enhancements to the PWM class.

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Limitations of PWM
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Not all frequencies can be generated with absolute accuracy due to
|
||||
the discrete nature of the computing hardware. Typically the PWM frequency
|
||||
is obtained by dividing some integer base frequency by an integer divider.
|
||||
For example, if the base frequency is 80MHz and the required PWM frequency is
|
||||
300kHz the divider must be a non-integer number 80000000 / 300000 = 266.67.
|
||||
After rounding the divider is set to 267 and the PWM frequency will be
|
||||
80000000 / 267 = 299625.5 Hz, not 300kHz. If the divider is set to 266 then
|
||||
the PWM frequency will be 80000000 / 266 = 300751.9 Hz, but again not 300kHz.
|
||||
|
||||
Some ports like the RP2040 one use a fractional divider, which allow a finer
|
||||
granularity of the frequency at higher frequencies by switching the PWM
|
||||
pulse duration between two adjacent values, such that the resulting average
|
||||
frequency is more close to the intended one, at the cost of spectral purity.
|
||||
|
||||
* The duty cycle has the same discrete nature and its absolute accuracy is not
|
||||
achievable. On most hardware platforms the duty will be applied at the next
|
||||
frequency period. Therefore, you should wait more than "1/frequency" before
|
||||
measuring the duty.
|
||||
|
||||
* The frequency and the duty cycle resolution are usually interdependent.
|
||||
The higher the PWM frequency the lower the duty resolution which is available,
|
||||
and vice versa. For example, a 300kHz PWM frequency can have a duty cycle
|
||||
resolution of 8 bit, not 16-bit as may be expected. In this case, the lowest
|
||||
8 bits of *duty_u16* are insignificant. So::
|
||||
|
||||
pwm=PWM(Pin(13), freq=300_000, duty_u16=2**16//2)
|
||||
|
||||
and::
|
||||
|
||||
pwm=PWM(Pin(13), freq=300_000, duty_u16=2**16//2 + 255)
|
||||
|
||||
will generate PWM with the same 50% duty cycle.
