How to Program CCP2 Module in PIC16F877A (Compare Mode)

The following code demonstrate how to use CCP2 module in compare mode configuration. CCPR2 register value is constantly compared against the TMR1 register pair value, When both values are equal the PIR2.CCP2IF flag is set. In this example 50 KHz clock is generated on RC1/CCP2 pin (it may be any other pin ). The code is written in “mikroC PRO for PIC v.6.6.3” IDE and simulation is done with Proteus 8.0 SP0. At the end of code, you can find complete project files for download.

Code in mikroC

// Generate clock 50 Khz
// Tick Time (Sec) = (4 x prescalar)/Fosc
// prescalar 1:1
// Fosc = 20,000,000 Hz
// Tick Time (Sec) = 0.0000002
// direction signal

// timer-1 configration

{
while(PIR2.CCP2IF == 0); // when compare occure
PIR2.CCP2IF = 0; // clear CCP Interrupt Flag bit
// bit invert after 10uSec
CCP2_CLK = ~CCP2_CLK;
}
}

// 1001 = Compare mode, clear output on match (CCPxIF bit is set)
// 1010 = Compare mode, generate software interrupt on match
// (CCPxIF bit is set, CCPx pin is unaffected)
// 1011 = Compare mode, trigger special event
// (CCPxIF bit is set, CCPx pin is unaffected);
// CCP2 resets TMR1

// 00 = 1:1 prescale value
T1CON.T1CKPS1 = 0; // 1:1 prescale value

T1CON.TMR1CS = 0; // Internal clock (FOSC/4)
T1CON.TMR1ON = 1; // Enables Timer1
