The requirement is instead of having complementary PWM outputs for each timer, one needs to have a dedicated output, rather than a complementary mode as they now have.

By default thats not possible with the PIC, but perhaps with a bit of smart coding we could use the interrupts and a look up table to disable one of the channels, so that only the positive or the negative switch can be active at a given time.

For example, assuming an h bridge:
During the positive half cycle, PWM is sent to the high Igbt of leg 1 and the low IGBT of leg 2, so that the voltage is positive (DC-LINK)

During the negative half cycle PWM is sent to the low IGBT of leg 1 and the high IGBT of leg 2, so that the voltage is negative (-DC-LINK)

Here's an example for a single phase inverter using this topology
