13.0 INPUT CAPTURE
The input capture module is useful in applications
requiring frequency (period) and pulse measurement.
The dsPIC33FJ32GP202/204 and dsPIC33FJ16GP304
devices support up to eight 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
