PWM GateKill (PWM GateKill STL module)

General Description

The Gate Kill function is used in motor controllers and multi-level power converters.

When the Kill input signal is asserted, the Gate Kill shuts down the PWM output drivers in less than 50 nanoseconds.

More Information

The test procedure:

 1) Before calling this function, the Kill signal must already be
 asserted on the TCPWM instance under test.
 2) The TCPWM counter value is read twice with a 10 ms delay between
 reads.
 3) If both counter values are equal, the counter has stopped,
 confirming that the Gate Kill signal was correctly applied at the
 pin-function level.
