OUTPUT COMPARE
The Output Compare module (OCMP) is used to gen-
erate a single pulse or a train of pulses in response to
selected time base events. For all modes of operation,
the OCMP module compares the values stored in the
OCxR and/or the OCxRS registers to the value in the
selected timer. When a match occurs, the OCMP mod-
ule generates an event based on the selected mode of
operation.   
The following are some of the key features:
• Multiple output compare modules in a device
• Programmable interrupt generation on compare 
event
• Single and Dual Compare modes
• Single and continuous output pulse generation
• Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) mode
• Hardware-based PWM Fault detection and 
automatic output disable
• Programmable selection of 16-bit or 32-bit time 
bases.
• Can operate from either of two available 16-bit 
time bases or a single 32-bit time base

Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features
of the PIC32MX3XX/4XX family of
devices. It is not intended to be a
comprehensive reference source. To
complement the information in this data
sheet, refer to Section 16. “Output
Compare”
 (DS61111) of the “PIC32
Family Reference Manual”
, which is
available from the Microchip web site

2: Some registers and associated bits
described in this section may not be
available on all devices. Refer to

Note 1: Where ‘x’ is shown, reference is made to the registers associated with the respective output compare
channels 1 through 5.
2: The OCFA pin controls the OC1-OC4 channels. The OCFB pin controls the OC5 channel.
3: Each output compare channel can use one of two selectable 16-bit time bases or a single 32-bit timer base.
