Detailed Description

Class to use software defined Pulse Density Modulation (PDM).

'pdm' pin can be any digital pin.

//Example
//-------
#include "mbed.h"
#include "SoftPdmOut.h"

SoftPdmOut pdm(LED1);

int main()
{
    float pdmSet = 0.0f;
    float pdmAdd = 0.01f;

    // Continuously cycle the output
    while(1)
    {
        pdm = pdmSet;
        wait_ms(10);
        if(pdmSet >= 1.0f)
            pdmAdd = -0.01f;
        if(pdmSet <= 0.0f)
            pdmAdd = 0.01f;
        pdmSet += pdmAdd;
    }
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SoftPdmOut ( PinName  pdm,
uint32_t  PulseWidth = 500,
uint32_t  Dmax = 64,
float  StartLevel = 0 
)

Create a PDM object connected to a digital pin.

Parameters:
pdm: Digital pin.
PulseWidth: Optional - The desired pulse width in microseconds (default = 500us).
Dmax: Optional - This is the total number of states in the DAC output (default = 64).
StartLevel: Optional - The DAC percentage (0.0 to 1.0) to be preprogrammed upon initialization (default = 0).
Returns:
none
