![]() This mode has half of fast pwm mode frequency.It is preferred in motors control(picture from atmega datasheet).įor this mode the possible frequencies are given by the formula f=f_clk/(N*510), with all the variables like in the fast pwm mode.įrequency and phase correct pwm(only on timer 1)-are the same with phase correct pwm if the TOP value remains the same, if not let asumme that we have two TOP values TOP1 and TOP2, TOP1>TOP 2, when the timer count up to TOP 1 and down to BOTTOM the pulse have a specific time period but when the timer count up to TOP 2 and down to BOTTOM, because the TOP 2 is smaller than TOP 1 the pulse have a small time period so a higher frequency(picture from atmega datasheet).ĬTC mode-in this mode timer count to a TOP value and when it reach that value clear the timer and execute something. Phase correct PWM mode-timer count from a BOTTOM value to a TOP value after that it not overflow it countdown from TOP value to BOTTOM value and repeat(triangle wave). For PWM, arduino has three timers one for two pins like:īeside these registers arduino can put the PWM pin in four modes likeīefore to talk about timers let’s have a look at these PWM modes because we choose them from the timers bits:įast PWM mode -timer count from a BOTTOM value to a TOP value after that it overflow to BOTTOM value and repeat(sawtooth waveform), it can generate higher frequencies(picture from atmega datasheet).įor this mode the possible frequencies are given by the formula f=f_clk/(N*256), where f is the neccesary frequency, f_clk is the oscillator frequency(16Mhz) and N is the prescaler(it has precise values and it is given form the timer’s bits so we will explain it in more details when we will talk about timers). ![]() To modify these values we need to work with timers(which contains registers). ![]() The arduino uno can generate frequencies for PWM pins up to 8Mhz. The default frequency of arduino PWM pins is around 490Hz for 9, 10, 3,11 and around 980 HZ for 5, 6, but for many applications we need some higher frequencies.
