Enhanced PWM Mode

The Enhanced PWM mode provides additional PWM

output options for a broader range of control applica-

tions. The module is a backward compatible version of

the standard CCP module and offers up to four outputs,

designated P1A through P1D. Users are also able to

select the polarity of the signal (either active-high or

active-low). The module’s output mode and polarity are

configured by setting the EPWM1M<1:0> and

CCP1M<3:0> bits of the ECCP1CON register.

Figure 17-1 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM

operation. All control registers are double-buffered and

are loaded at the beginning of a new PWM cycle (the

period boundary when Timer2 resets) in order to

prevent glitches on any of the outputs. The exception is

the

Delay

ECCP1DEL, which is loaded at either the duty cycle

boundary or the boundary period (whichever comes

first). Because of the buffering, the module waits until

the assigned timer resets instead of starting immedi-

ately. This means that Enhanced PWM waveforms do

not exactly match the standard PWM waveforms, but

are instead offset by one full instruction cycle (4 TOSC).

As before, the user must manually configure the

appropriate TRIS bits for output.

17.4.1

PWM PERIOD

The PWM period is specified by writing to the PR2

following equation.

EQUATION 17-1:

PWM frequency is defined as 1/[PWM period]. When

TMR2 is equal to PR2, the following three events occur

on the next increment cycle:

•TMR2 is cleared

• The ECCP1 pin is set (if PWM duty cycle = 0%,

the ECCP1 pin will not be set)

• The PWM duty cycle is copied from ECCPR1L

into ECCPR1H

Note:

The Timer2 postscaler (see Section 14.0

“Timer2 Module”) is not used in the

determination of the PWM frequency. The

postscaler could be used to have a servo

update rate at a different frequency than

the PWM output.

Note: The 8-bit TMR2 register is concatenated with the 2-bit internal Q clock, or 2 bits of the prescaler, to create the 10-bit time

base.
