+    <para>
+      Pulse-width modulation is a modulation technique primarily used to
+      control power supplied to electrical devices.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The PWM framework provides an abstraction for providers and consumers
+      of PWM signals. A controller that provides one or more PWM signals is
+      registered as <structname>struct pwm_chip</structname>. Providers are
+      expected to embed this structure in a driver-specific structure. This
+      structure contains fields that describe a particular chip.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      A chip exposes one or more PWM signal sources, each of which exposed
+      as a <structname>struct pwm_device</structname>. Operations can be
+      performed on PWM devices to control the period, duty cycle, polarity
+      and active state of the signal.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      Note that PWM devices are exclusive resources: they can always only be
+      used by one consumer at a time.

+ * Notes
+ * =====
+ * NXP LPC18xx provides a State Configurable Timer (SCT) which can be configured
+ * as a Pulse Width Modulator.
+ *
+ * SCT supports 16 outputs, 16 events and 16 registers. Each event will be
+ * triggered when its related register matches the SCT counter value, and it
+ * will set or clear a selected output.
+ *
+ * One of the events is preselected to generate the period, thus the maximum
+ * number of simultaneous channels is limited to 15. Notice that period is
+ * global to all the channels, thus PWM driver will refuse setting different
+ * values to it, unless there's only one channel requested.
