Overview

SmartDV’s PWM Controller IP is a silicon-proven, configurable, multi-channel pulse-width modulation solution purpose-built for SoC designs requiring precise duty-cycle and frequency control across motor control, power management, LED dimming, and industrial control applications. Implementing a complete hardware PWM generator with configurable period, duty cycle, and polarity control per channel, it provides a reliable, integration-ready signal generation block for any SoC requiring accurate switching waveform control.

Designed for the practical integration requirements of modern embedded SoC designs, the IP supports multiple independent PWM channels with individually configurable frequency and duty cycle, edge-aligned and center-aligned counting modes, dead-time insertion for complementary output pairs in motor-drive applications, and programmable prescaler and clock divider stages for wide frequency range coverage. Its lightweight, fully synthesizable architecture makes it equally well-suited for power-sensitive IoT and consumer devices and high-reliability automotive and industrial motor-control systems requiring precise, glitch-free switching control.

Built for design flexibility and silicon efficiency, the IP core is highly configurable for both ASIC and FPGA implementations, with a strong focus on area optimization, power management, and peak performance. Its parameterized channel architecture and clean host interface enable fast integration and confident design bring-up across a wide range of process nodes and target applications.
