In Figure 1-1, the Phase control feature of the APWM mode is used to control a 3 phase Interleaved DC/DC converter topology. This topology requires each phase to be off-set by 120° from each other. Hence if "Leg" 1 (controlled by APWM1) is the reference Leg (or phase), that is, 0°, then Leg 2 need 120° off-set and Leg 3 needs 240° off-set. The waveforms in Figure 12-181 show the timing relationship between each of the phases (Legs). Note ECAP1 module is the Master and issues a SyncOut pulse to the slaves (modules 2, 3) whenever TSCTR = Period value.
