Positron8 - HPWM Library for PIC18FxxK40 devices

I was creating a project that needed a few PWM waveforms of different frequencies to run in the background, and two of them had to be the opposite polarity to each other, so I wrote a library that allows the two CCP and the two PWM peripherals on a PIC18FxxK40 device to work at multiple frequencies using the three compatible timers, which are Timer2, Timer4 and Timer6. Hopefully, the library file will come in useful for others.

The library works very well, and has several procedures to alter the timer used for a PWM channel, the frequency of a PWM channel, and the duty cycle of a PWM channel. The duty cycle operates in an 8-bit mode, so a value of 0 is minimum duty, and 255 is maximum duty, so a value of 127 is a 50% duty cycle.

With the three suitable timers on a PIC18FxxK40 device, three independent frequencies can be generated, and a PWM channel that shares a timer will operate at the same frequency as the other channel using the same timer.

The library uses 32-bit maths, so very high frequencies can be calculated and generated, and I have had it producing a 1.2MHz waveform on a PIC18F26K40 device operating at 64MHz!.

A simple demonstration program is listed below using the "HPWM_K40.inc" library file:

In order to have all programs see the "HPWM_K40.inc" library file, place it in the "PDS\Includes\" folder, which is located at: "C:\Users\User Name\PDS\Includes\", and is created when the compilers are installed, and contains many more library include files.

The library code's mechanism can be changed for a multitude of PIC devices that have CCP or PWM peripherals, or both. And the changes required will normally be SFR names and bit names, and positions of the bits within the SFRs, because microchip continuously change things on devices, but the frequency and duty cycle calculations should be re-usable, as long as the PIC device chosen has the appropriate timers and the timer prescalers.

The library file and three demo programs are attached below in a zip file named "HPWM_Library_18F26K40.zip", and the zip file also has the Proteus simulation project in it. A screenshot of the demo program listed above, is shown below:

Thank you Les, that is going to come in very handy in the future.
