PIC18F6520/8520/6620/8620/6720/8720
The maximum PWM resolution (bits) for a given PWM
frequency is given by the equation:
EQUATION 16-3:
16.4.3 SETUP FOR PWM OPERATION
The following steps should be taken when configuring
the CCP module for PWM operation:
1. Set the PWM period by writing to the PR2
register.
2. Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the
CCPR1L register and CCP1CON<5:4> bits.
3. Make the CCP1 pin an output by clearing the
TRISC<2> bit.
4. Set the TMR2 prescale value and enable Timer2
by writing to T2CON.
5. Configure the CCP1 module for PWM operation.
TABLE 16-3: EXAMPLE PWM FREQUENCIES AND RESOLUTIONS AT 40 MHz
TABLE 16-4: REGISTERS ASSOCIATED WITH PWM, TIMER2 AND TIMER4
Note: If the PWM duty cycle value is longer than
the PWM period, the CCP1 pin will not be
cleared.

0. Shaded cells are not used by PWM, Timer2, or Timer4.
Note 1: Generic term for all of the identical registers of this name for all CCP modules, where ‘x’ identifies the individual module
(CCP1 through CCP5). Bit assignments and Reset values for all registers of the same generic name are identical.
