By using the 2 LSBs of the 10-bit PWM, you can get pulses out that
are only a quarter cycle long. With a 20 Mhz xtal, I use this technique
to generate 50 nsec pulses at a 5Mhz rate. Since the PR2 register
is totally programmable, you are not locked into only a few
PWM frequencies. You would set PR2 = 00h, IIRC, to get this rate.

Can also get 100/175/... nsec:

-___-___ or --__--__ or ---_---_

50ns        100ns       175ns     <-- pulse width

The center one will be 50% duty cycle at 5 Mhz even. You cannot get
the period < 200 nsec ~ 1/5Mhz for 20Mhz xtal.
