what you can do is to, put a flag, when you want to start the "dead time", and in your timer routine, check for that flag, start counting the death time and then in the place where you said "start dead time", check for the "counting death time" to happen.

 

Hope it helps.

The general purpose timers do not have dead time functionality.

> without changing the duty and frequency

Any modification to the waveform will change one or the other. What exactly are you going for here?

No. The dead time feature on advanced timers is not available on general purpose timers.
