Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM, is a technique used to vary the average magnitude of a signal by changing its duty cycle (the proportion of time that a signal is active or "high"). For a more in-depth introduction to PWM motor control click here.

PWM for PIC32 is discussed in more detail in the Output Compare documention.

Available Pins

The Pins available for PWM are 5 input pins (OC1, OC2, OC3, OC4, and OC5) and 2 output pins (OCFA and OCFB). The output pins are for fault pin protection.
