Which values are you trying? By my calculations, the maximum period
supported by the hardware is 2.6ms, although in practice I haven't seen it
go beyond 1.3 ms. I believe the currently supported range is 80ns to
1.3ms. If you are trying values larger than 1.3ms, then it will not make a
difference. The E3800 datasheet [1] provides PWM register documentation
(Chapter 28), and the attached screenshot is a worksheet I put together to
determine the possible values.
Thanks,
Darren
