PIC24HJXXXGPX06/X08/X10
14.0 INPUT CAPTURE
The input capture module is useful in applications
requiring frequency (period) and pulse measurement.
The PIC24HJXXXGPX06/X08/X10 devices support up
to eight input capture channels.
The input capture module captures the 16-bit value of
the selected Time Base register when an event occurs
at the ICx pin. The events that cause a capture event
are listed below in three categories:
1. Simple Capture Event modes
-Capture timer value on every falling edge of
input at ICx pin
-Capture timer value on every rising edge of
input at ICx pin
2. Capture timer value on every edge (rising and
falling)
3. Prescaler Capture Event modes
-Capture timer value on every 4th rising edge
of input at ICx pin
-Capture timer value on every 16th rising
edge of input at ICx pin
Each input capture channel can select between one of
two 16-bit timers (Timer2 or Timer3) for the time base.
The selected timer can use either an internal or exter-
nal clock.
Other operational features include:
• Device wake-up from capture pin during CPU
Sleep and Idle modes
• Interrupt on input capture event
• 4-word FIFO buffer for capture values
- Interrupt optionally generated after 1, 2, 3 or
4 buffer locations are filled
• Input capture can also be used to provide
additional sources of external interrupts

Note: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC24HJXXXGPX06/X08/X10
family of devices. However, it is not
intended to be a comprehensive reference
source. To complement the information in
this data sheet, refer to the “PIC24H

available from the Microchip website
(www.microchip.com).
Note: Only IC1 and IC2 can trigger a DMA data
transfer. If DMA data transfers are
required, the FIFO buffer size must be set
to 1 (ICI<1:0> = 00).
