EXAMPLE 15-1: PWM PERIOD AND DUTY CYCLE CALCULATIONS⁽¹⁾
1. Find the Timer Period register value for a desired PWM frequency of 52.08 kHz, where FOSC = 8 MHz with PLL
(32 MHz device clock rate) and a Timer2 prescaler setting of 1:1.
TCY = 2 * TOSC = 62.5 ns
PWM Period = 1/PWM Frequency = 1/52.08 kHz = 19.2 s
PWM Period = (PR2 + 1) • TCY • (Timer 2 Prescale Value)
19.2 s = (PR2 + 1) • 62.5 ns • 1
PR2 = 306
2. Find the maximum resolution of the duty cycle that can be used with a 52.08 kHz frequency and a 32 MHz
device clock rate:
PWM Resolution = log₁₀(FCY/FPWM)/log₁₀2) bits
= (log₁₀(16 MHz/52.08 kHz)/log₁₀2) bits
= 8.3 bits
Note 1: Based on TCY = 2 * TOSC; Doze mode and PLL are disabled.
