19.2

Comparator Control

Each comparator has 2 control registers: CMxCON0 and

CMxCON1.

The CMxCON0 registers (see Register 19-1) contain

Control and Status bits for the following:

• Enable

•Output selection

• Output polarity

• Speed/Power selection

• Hysteresis enable

• Output synchronization

The CMxCON1 registers (see Register 19-2) contain

Control bits for the following:

• Interrupt enable

• Interrupt edge polarity

• Positive input channel selection

• Negative input channel selection

19.2.1

COMPARATOR ENABLE

Setting the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register enables

the comparator for operation. Clearing the CxON bit

disables the comparator resulting in minimum current

consumption.

19.2.2

COMPARATOR OUTPUT

SELECTION

The output of the comparator can be monitored by

reading either the CxOUT bit of the CMxCON0 register

or the MCxOUT bit of the CMOUT register. In order to

make the output available for an external connection,

the following conditions must be true:

• CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set

• Corresponding TRIS bit must be cleared

• CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register must be set

19.2.3

COMPARATOR OUTPUT POLARITY

Inverting the output of the comparator is functionally

equivalent to swapping the comparator inputs. The

polarity of the comparator output can be inverted by

setting the CxPOL bit of the CMxCON0 register.

Clearing the CxPOL bit results in a non-inverted output.

Table 19-1 shows the output state versus input

conditions, including polarity control.

19.2.4

COMPARATOR SPEED/POWER

SELECTION

The trade-off between speed or power can be opti-

mized during program execution with the CxSP control

bit. The default state for this bit is ‘1’ which selects the

normal speed mode. Device power consumption can

be optimized at the cost of slower comparator propaga-

tion delay by clearing the CxSP bit to ‘0’.

Note 1: The CxOE bit of the CMxCON0 register

overrides the PORT data latch. Setting

the CxON bit of the CMxCON0 register

has no impact on the port override.

2: The internal output of the comparator is

latched with each instruction cycle.

Unless otherwise specified, external

outputs are not latched.
