PWMCON2.6 (BKPS) bit respectively. The details description of varies brake functions can be found

in the brake condition table.

Since the Brake Pin being asserted will automatically clear the Run bit of PWMCON1.7 and BKF

(PWMCON3.0) flag will be set, the user program can poll this bit or enable PWM’s brake interrupt to

determine when the Brake Pin causes a brake to occur. The other method for detecting a brake

caused by the Brake Pin would be to tie the Brake Pin to one of the external interrupt pins. This latter

approach is needed if the Brake signal is of insufficient length to ensure that it can be captured by a

polling routine. When, after being asserted, the condition causing the brake is removed, the PWM

outputs go to whatever state that had immediately prior to the brake. This means that in order to go

from brake being asserted to having the PWM run without going through an indeterminate state, care

must be taken. If the Brake Pin causes brake to be asserted, the following prototype code will allow

the PWM to go from brake and then run smoothly after brake is released.

1. PWMn output=PWMnB

2. H/W set BKF=1 & PWMRUN=0

3. S/W switch to S/W Brake

(BKEN,BPEN,BKCH)=(1,0,0)

4. Set PWMn comparator output =

PWMnB or a given pattern

1. Clear 10-bit PWM counter

CLRPWM=1

2. Reload PWMP & PWM registers

3. Enable brake function

(BKEN,BPEN,BKCH)=(1,1,0)

1. Clear BKF

PWM output=PWM comparator output

2. Re-start PWM Running by setting

PWMRUN=1; load bit=1
