Multiple HPWM's 16F877

[emmett brown]

Am I at all close? I can get it to compile without it but adding a
"For HPWMFREQ2 leaves me in the dark as two FOR NEXT loops is not correct but both timers need to change frequency at the same time. Thanks again to the best support group I've ever known!

Hi,
When you add the FOR HPWMFREQ2=3000 to 4000 Step 200 you also need to add a NEXT HPWMFREQ2

But even when you do it won't work. The manual says:


Some devices have 1, 2 or 3 PWM channels. On devices with 2 channels, the Frequency must be the same on both channels.

But does it mean that the chips with three pwm's need to be the same frequency? I'll try it in the simulator then run it on the chip Thanks much for your time! Emmett

Hi group, The PBP manual says that the highest frequency at the HPWM's at any oscillator speed is 32767Hz. Is this correct? I'm looking for 48Khz. Also It says that if two are used they have to be the same frequency. The same frequency if I use three? Don't understand the limitations. Thanks again all! Emmett

It could depend of the PIC too.

BTW @48MHZ, the highest frequency possible by using the calc should be 'round 5 MHZ (even if i have some doubt), 32.xxxKHZ is really low.

HPWM is certainelay limited. To avoid this limitation, you have to write to the CCP register.
Here's a short code snip for 2.5MHZ @ 50% duty cycle on a 16F877.


DEFINE OSC 20
TRISC=0
DUTY VAR WORD

T2CON=%00000100
PR2=1
DUTY=4
CCP1CON=%00001100 ' PWM MODE
CCP1CON.5=DUTY.1
CCP1CON.4=DUTY.0
CCPR1L=DUTY>>2
