8.1 Capture Mode
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 register when an event occurs
on pin RC5/CCP1. An event is defined as one of the
following and is configured by CCP1CON<3:0>:
• Every falling edge
• Every rising edge
• Every 4th rising edge
• Every 16th rising edge
When a capture is made, the interrupt request flag bit
CCP1IF of the PIR1 Register is set. The interrupt flag
must be cleared in software. If another capture occurs
before the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old cap-
tured value is overwritten by the new captured value.
8.1.1 CCP1 PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RC5/CCP1 pin should be config-
ured as an input by setting the TRISC<5> bit.

8.1.2 TIMER1 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 must be running in Timer mode or Synchro-
nized Counter mode for the CCP module to use the
capture feature. In Asynchronous Counter mode, the
capture operation may not work.
8.1.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP1IE of the PIE1 Register clear to avoid false inter-
rupts and should clear the flag bit CCP1IF of the PIR1
Register following any such change in Operating mode.
8.1.4 CCP PRESCALER
There are four prescaler settings specified by bits
CCP1M<3:0> of the CCP1CON Register. Whenever
the CCP module is turned off, or the CCP module is not
in Capture mode, the prescaler counter is cleared. 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 8-1 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.

8.2 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 RC5/CCP1 pin is:
• Driven high
•Driven low
• Remains unchanged
The action on the pin is based on the value of control
bits CCP1M<3:0> of the CCP1CON Register. At the
same time, interrupt flag bit CCP1IF of the PIR1 Regis-
ter is set.

Note: If the RC5/CCP1 pin is configured as an
output, a write to the port can cause a
capture condition.
