&lt;p&gt;We do not have a dedicated PWM module, so the way we recommend to resolve this is by using a Timer.
You can generate a signal of 8 MHz using the timers (running in 16MHz mode).
The PWM frequency is then set by the resolution, which is in your case 8 bit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PWM Frequency = Fbase / 2^8 = 8M/256 =  31.25 kHz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards
Håkon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
