15.3 Compare Mode
In Compare mode, the 16-bit CCPR1 register value is
constantly compared against either the TMR1 or TMR3
register pair value. When a match occurs, the CCP1
pin can be:
• driven high
• driven low
• toggled (high-to-low or low-to-high)
• remain unchanged (that is, reflects the state of the
I/O latch)
The action on the pin is based on the value of the mode
select bits (ECCP1M3:ECCP1M0). At the same time,
the interrupt flag bit ECCP1IF is set.
15.3.1 CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
The user must configure the CCPx pin as an output by
clearing the appropriate TRIS bit.
15.3.2 TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
Timer1 and/or Timer3 must be running in Timer mode
or Synchronized Counter mode if the CCP module is
using the compare feature. In Asynchronous Counter
mode, the compare operation may not work.
15.3.3 SOFTWARE INTERRUPT MODE
When the Generate Software Interrupt mode is chosen
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1010), the CCP1 pin is not
affected. Only a CCP interrupt is generated, if enabled
and the CCP1IE bit is set.
15.3.4 SPECIAL EVENT TRIGGER
Both CCP modules are equipped with a special event
trigger. This is an internal hardware signal generated in
Compare mode to trigger actions by other modules.
The special event trigger is enabled by selecting the
Compare Special Event Trigger mode
(CCP1M3:CCP1M0 = 1011).
For either CCP module, the special event trigger resets
the timer register pair for whichever timer resource is
currently assigned as the module’s time base. This
allows the CCPRx registers to serve as a
programmable period register for either timer.
FIGURE 15-2: COMPARE MODE OPERATION BLOCK DIAGRAM
Note: Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the RC2 compare output latch (depending
on device configuration) to the default low
level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.
