11.3.1 PWM PERIOD
The PWM period is specified by the PR2 register of
Timer2. The PWM period can be calculated using the
formula of Equation 11-1.
EQUATION 11-1: PWM PERIOD
PWM Period = [(PR2) + 1] • 4 • TOSC •
(TMR2 Prescale Value)
When TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events
occur on the next increment cycle:
• TMR2 is cleared
• The CCP1 pin is set. (Exception: If the PWM duty
cycle = 0%, the pin will not be set.)
• The PWM duty cycle is latched from CCPR1L into
CCPR1H.
Note:
The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 7.1
“Timer2 Operation”) is not used in the
determination of the PWM frequency.
11.3.2 PWM DUTY CYCLE
The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing a 10-bit
value to multiple registers: CCPR1L register and
CCP1<1:0> bits of the CCP1CON register. The
CCPR1L contains the eight MSbs and the CCP1<1:0>
bits of the CCP1CON register contain the two LSbs.
CCPR1L and CCP1<1:0> bits of the CCP1CON
register can be written to at any time. The duty cycle
value is not latched into CCPR1H until after the period
completes (i.e., a match between PR2 and TMR2
registers occurs). While using the PWM, the CCPR1H
register is read-only.
Equation 11-2 is used to calculate the PWM pulse
width.
Equation 11-3 is used to calculate the PWM duty cycle
ratio.
EQUATION 11-2: PULSE WIDTH
Pulse Width = (CCPR1L:CCP1CON<5:4>) •
TOSC • (TMR2 Prescale Value)
EQUATION 11-3: DUTY CYCLE RATIO
Duty Cycle Ratio = ⁽---C----C----P----R---1---L----:--C----C----P---1---C----O-----N----<----5---:--4--->-----⁾
4(PR2 + 1)
The CCPR1H register and a 2-bit internal latch are
used to double buffer the PWM duty cycle. This double
buffering is essential for glitchless PWM operation.
The 8-bit timer TMR2 register is concatenated with
either the 2-bit internal system clock (FOSC), or 2 bits of
the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time base. The system
clock is used if the Timer2 prescaler is set to 1:1.
When the 10-bit time base matches the CCPR1H and
2-bit latch, then the CCP1 pin is cleared (see
Figure 11-3).
11.3.3 PWM RESOLUTION
The resolution determines the number of available duty
cycles for a given period. For example, a 10-bit resolution
will result in 1024 discrete duty cycles, whereas an 8-bit
resolution will result in 256 discrete duty cycles.
The maximum PWM resolution is 10 bits when PR2 is
255. The resolution is a function of the PR2 register
value as shown by Equation 11-4.
EQUATION 11-4: PWM RESOLUTION
Resolution = ^{l--o---g----[}--4----⁽--P----R----2-----+-----1----⁾--^] bits
log (2)
Note:
If the pulse width value is greater than the
period the assigned PWM pin(s) will
remain unchanged.
