14.2 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, the CCPR2H:CCPR2L register pair
captures the 16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3
registers when an event occurs on the CCP2 pin (RC1
or RE7, depending on device configuration). An event
is defined as one of the following:
• every falling edge
• every rising edge
• every 4th rising edge
• every 16th rising edge
The event is selected by the mode select bits,
CCP2M3:CCP2M0 (CCP2CON<3:0>). When a
capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit, CCP2IF
(PIR2<1>), is set; it must be cleared in software. If
another capture occurs before the value in register
CCPR2 is read, the old captured value is overwritten by
the new captured value.
14.2.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the appropriate CCPx pin should be
configured as an input by setting the corresponding
TRIS direction bit.
Note:
If RC1/CCP2 or RE7/CCP2 is configured
as an output, a write to the port can cause
a capture condition.
14.2.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode or
Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the capture operation may not work. The timer to
be used with each CCP module is selected in the T3CON
register (see Section 14.1.1 “CCP Modules and Timer
Resources”).
14.2.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP2IE (PIE2<1>) clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit, CCP2IF, following any such
change in operating mode.
14.2.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings in Capture mode; they
are specified as part of the operating mode selected by
the mode select bits (CCP2M3:CCP2M0). Whenever
the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not
in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. This
means that any Reset will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared; therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 14-1 shows the
recommended method for switching between capture
prescalers. This example also clears the prescaler
counter and will not generate the “false” interrupt.
