Channel 2 PWM
As has been mentioned, the Amicus18 has two hardware PWM channels, each can work independently
of each other when adjusting the duty cycle, but share a common operating frequency and resolution.
This is because they both operate from the microcontroller’s Timer 2 module.
Operating the second channel of the PWM peripheral uses exactly the same procedure as operating
channel 1, but uses a different pin of PortC (RC1).
A demo layout for channel 2 of the PWM is shown below:
The circuit for the above layout is shown below:
The PWM peripherals operate in the background, which means that once a PWM duty cycle is set, it
does not block any other instructions from occurring.
