To use one of the PCA modules in the capture mode either one or both of the CCAPM
bits CAPN and CAPP for that module must be set. The external CEX input for the mod-
ule (on port 1) is sampled for a transition. When a valid transition occurs the PCA
hardware loads the value of the PCA counter registers (CH and CL) into the module's
capture registers (CCAPnL and CCAPnH). If the CCFn bit for the module in the CCON
SFR and the ECCFn bit in the CCAPMn SFR are set then an interrupt will be generated
(Refer to Figure 13).
The PCA modules can be used as software timers by setting both the ECOM and MAT
bits in the modules CCAPMn register. The PCA timer will be compared to the module's
capture registers and when a match occurs an interrupt will occur if the CCFn (CCON
SFR) and the ECCFn (CCAPMn SFR) bits for the module are both set (See Figure 14).
