PWM Library

CCP module is available with a number of PICmicros. mikroC provides library which simplifies
using PWM HW Module.

Note: Certain PICmicros with two or more CCP modules, such as P18F8520, require you to
specify the module you want to use. Simply append the number 1 or 2 to a Pwm. For example,
Pwm2_Start(); Also, for the sake of backward compabitility with previous compiler versions
and easier code management, MCU's with multiple PWM modules have PWM library which is
identical to PWM1 (i.e. you can use PWM_Init() instead of PWM1_Init() to initialize CCP1).

Library Routines

• Pwm_Init
• Pwm_Change_Duty
• Pwm_Start
• Pwm_Stop

Pwm_Init

Prototype void Pwm_Init(unsigned long freq);

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).

This routine needs to be called before using other functions from PWM Library.
Requires MCU must have CCP module.
Example Initialize PWM module at 5KHz:

Pwm_Init(5000);

Pwm_Change_Duty

Prototype void Pwm_Change_Duty(unsigned short duty_ratio);

Returns Nothing.
Description Changes PWM duty ratio. Parameter duty takes values from 0 to 255, where 0 is
0%, 127 is 50%, and 255 is 100% duty ratio. Other specific values for duty ratio can
be calculated as (Percent*255)/100.
Requires MCU must have CCP module. Pwm_Init must be called before using this routine.
Example Set duty ratio to 75%:

Pwm_Change_Duty(192);
Pwm_Start

Prototype void Pwm_Start(void);

Returns Nothing.
Description Starts PWM.
Requires MCU must have CCP module. Pwm_Init must be called before using this routine.
Example Pwm_Start();

Pwm_Stop

Prototype void Pwm_Stop(void);

Returns Nothing.
Description Stops PWM.
Requires MCU must have CCP module. Pwm_Init must be called before using this routine.
Pwm_Start should be called before using this routine, otherwise it will have no
effect as the PWM module is not running.
Example Pwm_Stop();

Library Example

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

void main() {

Pwm_Init(5000); // Initialize PWM module

Pwm_Start(); // Start PWM

while (1)
{
Pwm_Change_Duty(50); // set new duty ratio,

}
Delay_ms(200); // Slow down a bit
}
}
