60Hz from ECCP

[kender]

Folks,

I’d like to drive an H-bridge with 60Hz square waves with large dead time. This is for a DC to AC inverter.



I wonder. As long as PIC's clock is no faster than 13.1Mhz, it should be possible to generate such slow waveform with ECCP. Right

Of course, there are other options:
- generate the waveform with a timer ISR. 60Hz is pretty slow.
- separate dead time generator (GAL or analog RC delay).

Well you don't say which PIC you're using....but it's a piece of cake to use the 16C84 to make a DC-AC invertor using the H-bridge topology at 60 Hz...

yea... 60hz is so slow (I just did something similar recently) -- that a simple timer ISR should do the trick.
