9.1 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs
on pin RB3/CCP1. An event is defined as:
• Every falling edge
• Every rising edge
• Every 4th rising edge
• Every 16th rising edge
An event is selected by control bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the inter-
rupt request flag bit CCP1IF (PIR1<2>) is set. It must
be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before
the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured
value will be lost.
9.1.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RB3/CCP1 pin should be config-
ured as an input by setting the TRISB<3> bit.
Note:
If the RB3/CCP1 is configured as an out-
put, a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

9.1.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or synchronized
Counter mode for the CCP module to use the capture
feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the capture
operation may not work.
9.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit CCP1IF following any such
change in Operating mode.
9.1.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. 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 9-1 shows the recom-
mended method for switching between capture pres-
calers. This example also clears the prescaler counter
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.

9.2 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair
value. When a match occurs, the RB3/CCP1 pin is:
• Driven High
• Driven Low
• Remains Unchanged
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M3:CCP1M0 (CCP1CON<3:0>). At the
same time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF is set.
