parameters on which PIC is selected

[park21]

Hello
i'am doing project on multilevel inverter using 8 switches to b gated according to switches sequence.m unable to select pIC controller as i have 4 PWM signals to b generated.there are 4 switches in DC link ( 2 pwm required and other 2 r opposite of generated pwm )and a H-bridge

Hi,
Another new member and YAIP (Yet Another Inverter Project), here we go again :-)
Take a look at the 18F2431, it will most likely do what you need. It has a PCPWM module with 3 separate (4 for the 18F4431) PWM generators with complementary outputs (up to 6/8 outputs) and deadtime insertion. A fast ADC which can sample two channels simultanously and a boatload of other features.

There are several other devices with 2 (or more) ECCP modules with complementary outputs, use the product selector tool at Microchips website to find them, then look at the datasheet to see if it'll do what you need.

hey thanks man
bt the prob is der r gating signals with varying duty cycles evrytim the carrier cuts with the reference signal so how its possible to measure the duty cycle of the signals ,to program accordingly .m attaching snapshot of the matlab simulation result.

Hi,
I'm sorry, I have no idea.

May I suggest the PIC16F1824 (14-pin) or PIC16F1828 (20-pin) enhanced processors. Get the data sheet, these chips are awesome for what you're wanting to do! First, they include 4 ECCP channels, allow you to invert outputs, PLUS include a cool feature called Data Signal Modulator (DSM) that would allow you to embed your higher frequency within the slow clock, and even PWM that higher frequency while PWM the slow clock.

Hope this helps.
Mike
