CCP Module

• Compare/Capture/Pulse Width Modulation.

• Depending on the family, PIC can have 0 to 5
CCP modules designated as CCPx, where x is
the CCP module number.
• In recent years, the PWM features of CCP are
enhanced for better DC motor control, hence
Enhanced CCP modules (ECCPs) are also
available.
• PIC18F452 has 1CCP and 1 ECCP module.
• To program CCPs, one should have a better
knowledge about PIC18 Timer.
• The allocation of timers among the CCP
features are shown as

• The T3CON register is used to choose the

timer for the compare and capture modes.
CCP registers
• Each CCP module has 3 registers associated
with it :
• CCPxCON
– 8 bit control register.
– We select one of the compare, capture and PWM
modes using this register.
• CCPRxL and CCPRxH form the Low byte and High
byte of the 16 bit register.
• This 16 bit register can be used as a 16 bit compare
register, 16 bit capture register or a 8 bit duty cycle
register by the PWM, but not all at the same time.

• CCP pins
 Compare mode programming
• The compare mode of the CCP module is selected using the select bits in the
CCPxCON register. The Compare mode can cause an event outside the
microcontroller.

• Note that upon match, CCP1IF of the Peripheral Interrupt Flag Register will go
HIGH.
