* @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).

* @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.
