Comparator Reference

The comparator module also allows the selection of an

internally generated voltage reference for one of the

comparator inputs. The VRCON register, Register 8-3,

controls the voltage reference module shown in

Figure 8-5.

8.6.1

CONFIGURING THE VOLTAGE

REFERENCE

The voltage reference can output 32 distinct voltage

levels, 16 in a high range and 16 in a low range.

The following equation determines the output voltages:

VOLTAGE REFERENCE

ACCURACY/ERROR

The full range of VSS to VDD cannot be realized due to the

construction of the module. The transistors on the top

and bottom of the resistor ladder network (Figure 8-5)

keep CVREF from approaching VSS or VDD. The excep-

tion is when the module is disabled by clearing the VREN

bit (VRCON<7>). When disabled, the reference voltage

is VSS when VR<3:0> is ‘0000’ and the VRR

(VRCON<5>) bit is set. This allows the comparator to

detect a zero-crossing and not consume CVREF module

current.

The voltage reference is VDD derived and therefore, the

CVREF output changes with fluctuations in VDD. The

tested absolute accuracy of the comparator voltage

reference can be found in Section 15.0 “Electrical

Specifications”.
