In One Shot mode, the timer resets and the ON bit is cleared when
the timer value matches the TxPR period value. The ON bit must be set by software to start
another timer cycle. Setting MODE = ‘b01000 selects
One Shot mode which is illustrated in Figure 1. In the example, ON is controlled by BSF
and BCF instructions. In the first case, a BSF
instruction sets ON and the counter runs to completion and clears ON. In the second case, a
BSF instruction starts the cycle, the
BCF/BSF instructions turn the counter off and on
during the cycle, and then it runs to completion.
When One Shot mode is used in conjunction with the CCP PWM operation, the PWM pulse drive starts concurrent with setting the ON bit. Clearing the ON bit while the PWM drive is active will extend the PWM drive. The PWM drive will terminate when the timer value matches the CCPRx pulse-width value. The PWM drive will remain off until the software sets the ON bit to start another cycle. If the software clears the ON bit after the CCPRx match but before the TxPR match, then the PWM drive will be extended by the length of time the ON bit remains cleared. Another timing cycle can only be initiated by setting the ON bit after it has been cleared by a TxPR period count match.
