› Popular DC/DC Converter

› H-Bridge
LEAD_HS LAG_HS
› 50% Duty Cycle on Each
Half Bridge LEAD_LS LAG_LS

– Complimentary Outputs
with Dead-Time

CAPCOM8 (CCU8)

› 4 Slices (just like CCU4)

› Compared to CCU4 each
slice has
– Extra Compare Channel
– Two different PWM Duty
Cycles per Slice
– Can be combined to
produce Asymmetric
center aligned PWM
– Dead Time
– Each Compare Channel
can produce
“complementary” PWM
with Dead Time
– Symmetric or
Asymmetric
› Each CCU8 slice can
control 2 half bridges (or
an H-Bridge) Copyright

Basic Tools Installation Instructions

› Install Segger Debug Drivers

– Execute Jlink_Windows_V640.exe

› Install DAVE
– If you don’t have 7-Zip, install it (7-
Zip is faster than most zip file
extraction utilities)
– Execute 7z1805-x64.exe
– Unzip DAVE-IDE-4.4.2-64Bit.7z to
your C: Drive (root directory C:\ is
the preferred destination) using 7-Zip

› Install uC-Probe
– Execute Infineon-uC-Probe-Setup-
Release-4.3.0.96.exe Copyright

Advanced Tools (optional)

› XMC Pin-Out Tool is a lightweight

tool that shows the functions of all
I/O pins

› XMC Flasher is a lightweight flash

programming utility that can be
automated

› Ozone is a debugger with advanced

features (e.g. live variable watch)
