10.8 PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES FOR EPA CHANNELS

The three programming examples provided in this section demonstrate the use of the EPA channel for a compare event, for a capture event, and for generation of a PWM signal. The programs dem- onstrate the detection of events by a polling scheme, by interrupts, and by the PTS. All three ex- amples were created using ApBUILDER, an interactive application program available through Intel Literature Fulfillment. These sample program were written in the C programming language. ASM versions are also available from ApBUILDER.

NOTE

The initialization file (80c196np.h) used in these examples is available from the Intel Applications BBS.

10.8.1 EPA Compare Event Program

This example C program demonstrates an EPA compare event. It sets up EPA channel 0 to toggle its output pin whenever timer 1 is zero. This program uses no interrupts; a polling scheme detects the EPA event. The program initializes EPA channel 0 for a compare event.
