14.0 INPUT CAPTURE
The Input Capture module is useful in applications that 
requires frequency (period) and pulse measurement.
The dsPIC33FJ32MC302/304, dsPIC33FJ64MCX02/
X04 and dsPIC33FJ128MCX02/X04 devices support 
up to four input capture channels. 
The input capture module captures the 16-bit value of 
the selected Time Base register when an event occurs 
at the ICx pin. The events that cause a capture event 
are listed below in three categories:
• Simple Capture Event modes:
- Capture timer value on every falling edge of 
input at ICx pin
- Capture timer value on every rising edge of 
input at ICx pin
• Capture timer value on every edge (rising and 
falling)
• Prescaler Capture Event modes:
- Capture timer value on every 4th rising 
edge of input at ICx pin
- Capture timer value on every 16th rising 
edge of input at ICx pin
Each input capture channel can select one of two 16-bit 
timers (Timer2 or Timer3) for the time base. The 
selected timer can use either an internal or external 
clock.
Other operational features include:
• Device wake-up from capture pin during CPU 
Sleep and Idle modes
• Interrupt on input capture event
• 4-word FIFO buffer for capture values
- Interrupt optionally generated after 1, 2, 3 or 
4 buffer locations are filled
• Use of input capture to provide additional sources 
of external interrupts

INPUT CAPTURE BLOCK DIAGRAM 
Note 1: This data sheet summarizes the features 
of the dsPIC33FJ32MC302/304, 
dsPIC33FJ64MCX02/X04 and 
dsPIC33FJ128MCX02/X04 family of 
devices. It is not intended to be a 
comprehensive reference source. To 
complement the information in this data 
sheet, refer to Section 12. “Input 
Capture”
 (DS70198) of the “dsPIC33F/
PIC24H Family Reference Manual
”, 
which is available from the Microchip web 
site (
www.microchip.com
).
2: Some registers and associated bits 
described in this section may not be 
available on all devices. Refer to 
 in 
this data sheet for device-specific register 
and bit information.
Note:
Only IC1 and IC2 can trigger a DMA data 
transfer. If DMA data transfers are 
required, the FIFO buffer size must be set 
to ‘1’ (ICI<1:0> = 00)
Note: An ‘x’ in a signal, register or bit name denotes the number of the capture channel.
