7:55luismarques83 When you said there were some modes where it was "center aligned", I thought that in the diagram the time flowed from left to right as usual ("left aligned"), and therefore the unexpected transitions had to do with the behavior of the PWM in the device, and not an issue in the documentation diagrams
