COMPARATOR VOLTAGE

REFERENCE MODULE

The comparator voltage reference generator is a 16-tap

resistor ladder network that provides a fixed voltage

reference when the comparators are in mode ‘010’. A

programmable register controls the function of the refer-

ence generator. Register 14-1 lists the bit functions of

the CVRCON register.

As shown in Figure 14-1, the resistor ladder is seg-

mented to provide two ranges of CVREF values and has

a power-down function to conserve power when the

reference is not being used. The comparator reference

supply voltage (also referred to as CVRSRC) comes

directly from VDD. It should be noted, however, that the

voltage at the top of the ladder is CVRSRC – VSAT,

where VSAT is the saturation voltage of the power

switch transistor. This reference will only be as

accurate as the values of CVRSRC and VSAT.

The output of the reference generator may be

connected to the RA2/AN2/CVREF/VREF- pin (VREF- is

available on the PIC16F88 device only). This can be

used as a simple D/A function by the user if a very high-

impedance load is used. The primary purpose of this

function is to provide a test path for testing the

reference generator function.
