+ * @defgroup PWM PWM Driver
+ * @brief Generic PWM Driver.
+ * @details This module implements a generic PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)
+ * driver.
+ * @pre In order to use the PWM driver the @p HAL_USE_PWM option
+ * must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
+ *
+ * @section pwm_1 Driver State Machine
+ * The driver implements a state machine internally, not all the driver
+ * functionalities can be used in any moment, any transition not explicitly
+ * shown in the following diagram has to be considered an error and shall
+ * be captured by an assertion (if enabled).
+ * @dot
+ digraph example {
+ rankdir="LR";
+ node [shape=circle, fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8, fixedsize="true", width="0.9", height="0.9"];
+ edge [fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8];
+ uninit [label="PWM_UNINIT", style="bold"];
+ stop [label="PWM_STOP\nLow Power"];
+ ready [label="PWM_READY\nClock Enabled"];
+ uninit -> stop [label="pwmInit()"];
+ stop -> stop [label="pwmStop()"];
+ stop -> ready [label="pwmStart()"];
+ ready -> stop [label="pwmStop()"];
+ ready -> ready [label="pwmEnableChannel()\npwmDisableChannel()"];
+ }
+ * @enddot
+ *
+ * @section pwm_2 PWM Operations.
+ * This driver abstracts a generic PWM timer composed of:
+ * - A clock prescaler.
+ * - A main up counter.
+ * - A comparator register that resets the main counter to zero when the limit
+ * is reached. An optional callback can be generated when this happens.
+ * - An array of @p PWM_CHANNELS PWM channels, each channel has an output,
+ * a comparator and is able to invoke an optional callback when a comparator
+ * match with the main counter happens.
+ * .
+ * A PWM channel output can be in two different states:
+ * - <b>IDLE</b>, when the channel is disabled or after a match occurred.
+ * - <b>ACTIVE</b>, when the channel is enabled and a match didn't occur yet
+ * in the current PWM cycle.
+ * .
+ * Note that the two states can be associated to both logical zero or one in
+ * the @p PWMChannelConfig structure.
