CCP module is available with a number of PIC MCUs. mikroC PRO for PIC provides library which simplifies using PWM HW Module.

  Important :

• Some MCUs have multiple CCP modules. In order to use the desired CCP library routine, simply change the x in the prototype with the appropriate module number, i.e. PWM2_Start();.

Library Routines

• PWMx_Init
• PWMx_Set_Duty
• PWMx_Start
• PWMx_Stop

PWMx_Init

Prototype	void PWMx_Init(long freq); // For Enhanced Mid-Range Core 145x/150x MCUs void PWMx_Init(unsigned long PWM_Freq, unsigned int timer_prescaler);
Returns	Nothing.
Description	Initializes the PWM module with duty ratio 0. Parameter freq is a desired PWM frequency in Hz (refer to device data sheet for correct values in respect with Fosc). timer_prescaler parameter represents the timer prescaler and can have following values: 1, 4, 16 and 64. This routine needs to be called before using other functions from PWM Library.
Requires	MCU must have CCP module.   Note : Calculation of the PWM frequency value is carried out by the compiler, as it would produce a relatively large code if performed on the library level. Therefore, compiler needs to know the value of the parameter in the compile time. That is why this parameter needs to be a constant, and not a variable.
Example	Initialize PWM module at 5KHz: PWM1_Init(5000);

PWMx_Set_Duty

PWM1_Set_Duty(192);

PWMx_Start

PWM1_Start();

PWMx_Stop

PWM1_Stop();

Library Example

The example changes PWM duty ratio on RC1 and RC2 pins continually. If LED is connected to these pins, you can observe the gradual change of emitted light.
