13.5
In Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) mode, the CCP1 pin
produces up to a 10-bit resolution PWM output. Since
the CCP1 pin is multiplexed with the PORTC data latch,
the TRISC<2> bit must be cleared to make the CCP1
pin an output.
Figure 13-3 shows a simplified block diagram of the
CCP module in PWM mode.
For a step by step procedure on how to set up the CCP
module for PWM operation, see Section 13.5.3.

or 2 bits of the prescaler to create 10-bit time-base.
Clearing the CCP1CON register will force
the CCP1 PWM output latch to the default
low level. This is not the PORTC I/O data
latch.

Preliminary
A PWM output (Figure 13-4) has a time base (period)
and a time that the output stays high (duty cycle).
The frequency of the PWM is the inverse of the
period (1/period).
