SOFTWARE INTERRUPT
16.2 Capture Mode
When the Capture mode is changed, a false capture
interrupt may be generated. The user should keep bit
CCP1IE (PIE1<2>) clear to avoid false interrupts and
should clear the flag bit, CCP1IF, following any such
change in Operating mode.
In Capture mode, CCPR1H:CCPR1L captures the
16-bit value of the TMR1 or TMR3 registers when an
event occurs on pin RC2/CCP1. An event is defined as
one of the following:
• every falling edge
• every rising edge
16.2.4
CCP PRESCALER
• every 4th rising edge
• every 16th rising edge
There are four prescaler settings, specified by bits
CCP1M3:CCP1M0. Whenever the CCP module is
turned off or the CCP module is not in Capture mode,
the prescaler counter is cleared. This means that any
RESET will clear the prescaler counter.
Switching from one capture prescaler to another may
generate an interrupt. Also, the prescaler counter will
not be cleared, therefore, the first capture may be from
a non-zero prescaler. Example 16-1 shows the recom-
mended method for switching between capture pres-
calers. This example also clears the prescaler counter
and will not generate the “false” interrupt.
The event is selected by control bits, CCP1M3:CCP1M0
(CCP1CON<3:0>). When a capture is made, the inter-
rupt request flag bit, CCP1IF (PIR1<2>), is set; it must
be cleared in software. If another capture occurs before
the value in register CCPR1 is read, the old captured
value is overwritten by the new captured value.
16.2.1
CCP PIN CONFIGURATION
In Capture mode, the RC2/CCP1 pin should be
configured as an input by setting the TRISC<2> bit.
Note: If the RC2/CCP1 is configured as an out-
put, a write to the port can cause a capture
condition.

TIMER1/TIMER3 MODE SELECTION
The timers that are to be used with the capture feature
(Timer1 and/or Timer3) must be running in Timer mode,
or Synchronized Counter mode. In Asynchronous
Counter mode, the capture operation may not work.
The timer to be used with each CCP module is selected
in the T3CON register (see Section 16.1.1).
