Multiple Pulse Width Module (PWM) – TA0
Single PWM is useful for simple purposes but in many applications, we need multiple PWMs. In case of inverters, MOSFET/IGBT drives and bridges, there is no alternative other than to use multi-channel PWM. In this example, we will see how we can use multiple PWM to drive an RGB LED.

Hardware Setup
Explanation
Multi-PWM example here uses the same concepts as in the single PWM example. This time timer TA0 is used and the following pins are set for PWM output:
GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionOutputPin(GPIO_PORT_P1,
(GPIO_PIN2 + GPIO_PIN3 + GPIO_PIN4));
Note that this timer has 5 CC channels associated with it but we are using only three of them since we have connected an RGB LED to these pins.
4MHz XT2CLK source feeds SMCLK which in turn is used to run timer TA0. Thus, timer TA0 is operating at 4MHz speed.
UCS_initClockSignal(UCS_SMCLK, UCS_XT2CLK_SELECT, UCS_CLOCK_DIVIDER_1);
Timer PWM setup is not very much different. The only differences are timer mode, the number of channels and their individual settings.
void timer_T0A5_init(void)
{
Timer_A_initCompareModeParam CompareModeParam1 = {0};
Timer_A_initCompareModeParam CompareModeParam2 = {0};
Timer_A_initCompareModeParam CompareModeParam3 = {0};
Timer_A_initContinuousModeParam ContinuousModeParam = {0};
ContinuousModeParam.clockSource = TIMER_A_CLOCKSOURCE_SMCLK;
ContinuousModeParam.clockSourceDivider = TIMER_A_CLOCKSOURCE_DIVIDER_1;
ContinuousModeParam.timerClear = TIMER_A_DO_CLEAR;
ContinuousModeParam.timerInterruptEnable_TAIE = TIMER_A_TAIE_INTERRUPT_DISABLE;
ContinuousModeParam.startTimer = false;
CompareModeParam1.compareInterruptEnable = TIMER_A_CCIE_CCR0_INTERRUPT_DISABLE;
CompareModeParam1.compareOutputMode = TIMER_A_OUTPUTMODE_RESET_SET;
CompareModeParam1.compareRegister = TIMER_A_CAPTURECOMPARE_REGISTER_1;
CompareModeParam1.compareValue = 0;
CompareModeParam2.compareInterruptEnable = TIMER_A_CCIE_CCR0_INTERRUPT_DISABLE;
CompareModeParam2.compareOutputMode = TIMER_A_OUTPUTMODE_RESET_SET;
CompareModeParam2.compareRegister = TIMER_A_CAPTURECOMPARE_REGISTER_2;
CompareModeParam2.compareValue = 0;
CompareModeParam3.compareInterruptEnable = TIMER_A_CCIE_CCR0_INTERRUPT_DISABLE;
CompareModeParam3.compareOutputMode = TIMER_A_OUTPUTMODE_RESET_SET;
CompareModeParam3.compareRegister = TIMER_A_CAPTURECOMPARE_REGISTER_3;
CompareModeParam3.compareValue = 0;
Timer_A_initCompareMode(TIMER_A0_BASE, &CompareModeParam1);
Timer_A_initCompareMode(TIMER_A0_BASE, &CompareModeParam2);
Timer_A_initCompareMode(TIMER_A0_BASE, &CompareModeParam3);
Timer_A_initContinuousMode(TIMER_A0_BASE, &ContinuousModeParam);
Timer_A_startCounter(TIMER_A0_BASE, TIMER_A_CONTINUOUS_MODE);
}
Unlike in the previous PWM example, timer TA0 is set for continuous mode of operation and so the top PWM count value is 65535. Thus, the period of the PWMs is about 16 ms. No interrupt is used. We just have to setup each channel individually and then run the timer in continuous mode.
In the main loop, PWMs of each channel are altered and the effect is visible in the form of RGB LED’s changing colour.
for(i = 0; i < steps; i++)
{
Timer_A_setCompareValue(TIMER_A0_BASE,
TIMER_A_CAPTURECOMPARE_REGISTER_1,
duty1_value[i]);
Timer_A_setCompareValue(TIMER_A0_BASE,
TIMER_A_CAPTURECOMPARE_REGISTER_2,
duty2_value[i]);
Timer_A_setCompareValue(TIMER_A0_BASE,
TIMER_A_CAPTURECOMPARE_REGISTER_3,
duty3_value[i]);
delay_ms(250);
}
The duty cycle of each PWM channel is coded to in a half-sine wave pattern but each of them has a different phase shift from the other.
const unsigned int duty3_value[steps] = {57788,
54480,
50647,
46326,
41558,
36391,
30873,
25057,
19000,
12760,
6397,
0,
6424,
12786,
19026,
25082,
30896,
36413,
41579,
46344,
50664,
54494,
57801,
60550,
62716,
64278,
65220,
65534,
65218,
64272,
62708,
60540};
When combined with the three LEDs of the RGB, this creates a beautiful rhythmic color pattern.

I am surprised and happy to find this tutorial on the F5529 as TI makes a lot of different devices.
Thank you very much for putting in the extra knowledge in each segment, made reading worthwhile.
Good Work!
lovely tutorial but to be honest I don’t think I’d be investing my time on this board to start with it’s not cheap and readily available as the stm32 boards can you please do more tutorials on stm32 board’s and the stc micros thanks
Hello, I try to program MSP430FR6047 but i get error “the debug interface to the device has been secured”. when flashing using uniflash and when program using CCS this happen. can you help me to solve this problem
You can try “On connect, erase user code and unlock the device” option.

Hello
I am doing project of msp430g2553 interface(using i2c communication) with temp 100(temperature sensor) and try to read the temperature in dispaly(16*2) but didn’t get the out put (using code composer studio) can u share me any example code for this project
Thank you sir,
Which sensor? Did you use pullup resistors for SDA-SCL pins?
Where is lcd_print.h?
All files and docs are here:

You want the truth? TI makes and sell “underpowered micros”, you know? Low everything, not only the power but also peripherals. So the price is not justified.
Otherwise, if I’ll move there, I’ll introduce them to my small hobby projects – there are still some advantages.
I may even make a visual configuration tool of my own for them…
Yeah the prices of TI products are higher than other manufacturers but I don’t think the hardware peripherals are inferior.
Not inferior but in not enough numbers compared to STM32.
True
