Abstract
A microcontroller integrated circuit incorporating a user configurable pulse width modulator. The pulse width modulator circuitry is configurable to be a single, for example 32-bit pulse width modulator, or a plurality of pulse width modulators each having a bit width that is divisible by the single 32-bit pulse width modulator (e.g., 2, 4, 8 or 16-bit pulse width modulators).
