The PCA modules can be used as software timers by setting both the ECOM and MAT
bits in the modules CCAPMn register. The PCA timer will be compared to the module's
capture registers and when a match occurs an interrupt will occur if the CCFn (CCON
SFR) and the ECCFn (CCAPMn SFR) bits for the module are both set (See Figure 10).
Before enabling ECOM bit, CCAPnL and CCAPnH should be set with a non zero value,
otherwise an unwanted match could happen. Writing to CCAPnH will set the ECOM bit.
Once ECOM set, writing CCAPnL will clear ECOM so that an unwanted match doesn’t
occur while modifying the compare value. Writing to CCAPnH will set ECOM. For this
reason, user software should write CCAPnL first, and then CCAPnH. Of course, the
ECOM bit can still be controlled by accessing to CCAPMn register.
