Abstract
A circuit includes a first and a second memory, a processor and a timer. The processor generates a sequence of bits encoding a CAN frame and processes the sequence of bits to detect a sequence of PWM periods. The processor stores values of a first parameter of the PWM periods into the first memory, and values of a second parameter of the PWM periods into the second memory. The timer comprises a first register which reads from the first memory a value of the first parameter of a current PWM period. The timer comprises a counter which increases a count number and resets the count number as a function of the value of the first register.
