14.2 Compare Operations
In Compare mode (Figure 14-1), the output compare
module can be configured for single-shot or continuous
pulse generation. It can also repeatedly toggle an
output pin on each timer event.
To set up the module for compare operations:
1. Configure the OCx output for one of the
available Peripheral Pin Select pins.
2. Calculate the required values for the OCxR and
(for Double Compare modes) OCxRS Duty Cycle
registers:
a) Determine the instruction clock cycle time.
Take into account the frequency of the
external clock to the timer source (if one is
used) and the timer prescaler settings.
b) Calculate time to the rising edge of the
output pulse relative to the timer start value
(0000h).
c) Calculate the time to the falling edge of the
pulse based on the desired pulse width and
the time to the rising edge of the pulse.
3. Write the rising edge value to OCxR and the
falling edge value to OCxRS.
4. Set the Timer Period register, PRy, to a value
equal to or greater than the value in OCxRS.
5. Set the OCM<2:0> bits for the appropriate
compare operation (= 0xx).
6. For Trigger mode operations, set OCTRIG to
enable Trigger mode. Set or clear TRIGMODE to
configure trigger operation and TRIGSTAT to
select a hardware or software trigger. For
Synchronous mode, clear OCTRIG.
7. Set the SYNCSEL<4:0> bits to configure the
trigger or synchronization source. If free-running
timer operation is required, set the SYNCSEL
bits to ‘00000’ (no sync/trigger source).
8. Select the time base source with the
OCTSEL<2:0> bits. If necessary, set the TON
bits for the selected timer, which enables the
compare time base to count. Synchronous
mode operation starts as soon as the time base
is enabled; Trigger mode operation starts after a
trigger source event occurs.
