Use the following steps when configuring the output
compare module for PWM operation:

Set the TMRy prescale value and enable the time base
by setting TON = 1 (TxCON<15>)
13.3.1
The PWM period is specified by writing to PRy, the
Timer Period register. The PWM period can be
calculated using Equation 13-1:
EQUATION 13-2:
DS70282B-page 120
Note:
Set the PWM period by writing to the selected
Timer Period register (PRy).
Set the PWM duty cycle by writing to the OCxRS
register.
Write the OxCR register with the initial duty cycle.
Enable interrupts, if required, for the timer and
output compare modules. The output compare
interrupt is required for PWM Fault pin utilization.
Configure the output compare module for one of
two PWM operation modes by writing to the Out-
put Compare Mode bits, OCM<2:0> and
(OCxCON<2:0>).
Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM)
Mode
The OCxR register should be initialized
before the output compare module is first
enabled. The OCxR register becomes a
read-only duty cycle register when the
module is operated in the PWM modes.
The value held in OCxR will become the
PWM duty cycle for the first PWM period.
The contents of the Output Compare
Secondary register, OCxRS, will not be
transferred into OCxR until a time base
period match occurs.

Specify the PWM duty cycle is specified by writing to the
OCxRS register. The OCxRS register can be written to at
any time, but the duty cycle value is not latched into OCxR
until a match between PRy and TMRy occurs (i.e., the
period is complete). This provides a double buffer for the
PWM duty cycle and is essential for glitchless PWM
register.
Some important boundary parameters of the PWM duty
cycle include:
• If the Output Compare register, OCxR, is loaded
• If OCxR is greater than PRy (Timer Period register),
• If OCxR is equal to PRy, the OCx pin will be low
See Example 13-1 for PWM mode timing details.
Table 13-1 shows example PWM frequencies and
resolutions for a device operating at 10 MIPS.

PWM DUTY CYCLE
A PRy value of N will produce a PWM
period of N + 1 time base count cycles. For
example, a value of 7 written into the PRy
register will yield a period consisting of
eight time base cycles.
