19.0 PULSE WIDTH MODULATION
(PWM) MODULE
The PWM module generates a Pulse-Width Modulated
signal determined by the duty cycle, period, and reso-
lution that are configured by the following registers:
•PR2
•T2CON
• PWMxDCH
• PWMxDCL
•PWMxCON
Figure 19-2 shows a simplified block diagram of PWM
operation.
Figure 19-1 shows a typical waveform of the PWM
signal.
For a step-by-step procedure on how to set up this
module for PWM operation, refer to Section 19.1.9
“Setup for PWM Operation using PWMx Pins”.
