PIC32MX1XX/2XX/5XX 64/100-PIN FAMILY
15.0 INPUT CAPTURE
Note:
This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC32MX1XX/2XX/5XX 64/100-pin
family of devices. It is not intended to be
a comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 15. “Input
Capture” (DS60001122) of the “PIC32
Family Reference Manual”, which is
available from the Microchip web site
(www.microchip.com/PIC32).
The Input Capture module is useful in applications
requiring frequency (period) and pulse measurement.
The Input Capture module captures the 16-bit or 32-bit
value of the selected Time Base registers when an
event occurs at the ICx pin. The following events cause
capture events:
• Simple capture event modes:
- Capture timer value on every falling edge of
input at ICx pin
- Capture timer value on every rising edge of
input at ICx pin
- Capture timer value on every edge (rising
and falling)
- Capture timer value on every edge (rising
and falling), specified edge first.
• Prescaler capture event modes:
- Capture timer value on every 4th rising edge of
input at ICx pin
- Capture timer value on every 16th rising edge of
input at ICx pin
Each input capture channel can select between one of
two 16-bit timers (Timer2 or Timer3) for the time base,
or two 16-bit timers (Timer2 and Timer3) together to
form a 32-bit timer. The selected timer can use either
an internal or external clock.
The other operational features include:
• Device wake-up from capture pin during CPU
Sleep and Idle modes
• Interrupt on input capture event
• 4-word FIFO buffer for capture values
Interrupt optionally generated after 1, 2, 3, or 4
buffer locations are filled
• Input capture can also be used to provide
additional sources of external interrupts
