PWM DUTY CYCLE

The PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the

OCxRS and OCxR registers. The OCxRS and OCxR

registers can be written to at any time, but the duty

cycle value is not latched until a match between PRy

and TMRy occurs (i.e., the period is complete). This

provides a double buffer for the PWM duty cycle and is

essential for glitchless PWM operation.

Some important boundary parameters of the PWM duty

cycle include:

• If OCxR, OCxRS, and PRy are all loaded with

0000h, the OCx pin will remain low (0% duty

cycle).

• If OCxRS is greater than PRy, the pin will remain

high (100% duty cycle).

See Example 15-1 for PWM mode timing details.

Table 15-1 and Table 15-2 show example PWM

frequencies and resolutions for a device operating at

4 MIPS and 10 MIPS, respectively.

Find the Timer Period register value for a desired PWM frequency of 52.08 kHz, where FOSC = 8 MHz with PLL

(32 MHz device clock rate) and a Timer2 prescaler setting of 1:1.

TCY = 2 * TOSC = 62.5 ns

PWM Period = 1/PWM Frequency = 1/52.08 kHz = 19.2 ms

PWM Period = (PR2 + 1) • TCY • (Timer2 Prescale Value)

19.2 ms = PR2 + 1) • 62.5 ns • 1

PR2 = 306

Find the maximum resolution of the duty cycle that can be used with a 52.08 kHz frequency and a 32 MHz

device clock rate:

PWM Resolution = log10(FCY/FPWM)/log102) bits

= (log10(16 MHz/52.08 kHz)/log102) bits

= 8.3 bits

Note 1:

Based on TCY = 2 * TOSC; Doze mode and PLL are disabled.
