COMPARATOR MODULE

Comparators are used to interface analog circuits to a

digital circuit by comparing two analog voltages and

providing a digital indication of their relative magnitudes.

The comparators are very useful mixed signal building

blocks because they provide analog functionality

independent of the program execution. The Analog

Comparator module includes the following features:

• Dual comparators

• Multiple comparator configurations

• Comparator outputs are available

internally/externally

• Programmable output polarity

• Interrupt-on-change

• Wake-up from Sleep

• Timer1 gate (count enable)

• Output synchronization to Timer1 clock input

• Programmable voltage reference

Comparator Overview

A comparator is shown in Figure 8-1 along with the

relationship between the analog input levels and the

digital output. When the analog voltage at VIN+ is less

than the analog voltage at VIN-, the output of the

comparator is a digital low level. When the analog

voltage at VIN+ is greater than the analog voltage at

VIN-, the output of the comparator is a digital high level.

FIGURE 8-1:

SINGLE COMPARATOR

This device contains two comparators as shown in

Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-3. The comparators are not

independently configurable.

Note:

Only Comparator C2 can be linked to

Timer1.

Note:

The black areas of the output of the

comparator represents the uncertainty

due to input offsets and response time.
