10.8.3 EPA PWM Output Program

This example C program demonstrates the generation of a PWM signal using the EPA’s PWM toggle mode (see “PWM Modes” on page 6-26) and shows how to service the interrupts with the PTS. The PWM signal in this example has a 50% duty cycle.

#pragma model(EX)

 

#include <80c196np.h>

 

#define

PTS_BLOCK_BASE

0x98

/* Create

typedef template for the PWM_TOGGLE mode control block.*/

typedef struct PWM_toggle_ptscb_t {

 

unsigned char

unused;

 

unsigned char

ptscon;

 

void *pts_ptr;

 

unsigned int constant1; unsigned int constant2; } PWM_toggle_ptscb;

/* This locates the PTS block mode control block in register ram. This */ /* control block may be located at any quad-word boundary. */

register PWM_toggle_ptscb PWM_toggle_CB_3; #pragma locate(PWM_toggle_CB_3=PTS_BLOCK_BASE)

/* The PTS vector must contain the address of the PTS control block.*/ #pragma pts(PWM_toggle_CB_3=0x3)

/* Sample PTS control block initialization sequence.*/
