18.5.7.1 Steering Synchronization
The STRSYNC bit of the PSTRxCON register gives the
user two selections of when the steering event will
happen. When the STRSYNC bit is ‘0’, the steering
event will happen at the end of the instruction that
writes to the PSTRxCON register. In this case, the out-
put signal at the Px<D:A> pins may be an incomplete
PWM waveform. This operation is useful when the user
firmware needs to immediately remove a PWM signal
from the pin.
When the STRSYNC bit is ‘1’, the effective steering
update will happen at the beginning of the next PWM
period. In this case, steering on/off the PWM output will
always produce a complete PWM waveform.
Figures 18-19 and 18-20 illustrate the timing diagrams
of the PWM steering depending on the STRSYNC
setting.

Note 1: Port outputs are configured as displayed when
the CCPxCON register bits, PxM<1:0> = 00
and CCP1M<3:2> = 11.
2: Single PWM output requires setting at least
one of the STRx bits.
