21.2

Voltage Reference Accuracy/Error

The full range of voltage reference cannot be realized

due to the construction of the module. The transistors

on the top and bottom of the resistor ladder network

(Figure 21-1) keep CVREF from approaching the refer-

ence source rails. The voltage reference is derived

from the reference source; therefore, the CVREF output

changes with fluctuations in that source. The tested

absolute accuracy of the voltage reference can be

found in Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.

21.3

Operation During Sleep

When the device wakes up from Sleep through an

interrupt or a Watchdog Timer time-out, the contents of

the CVRCON register are not affected. To minimize

current consumption in Sleep mode, the voltage

reference should be disabled.

21.4

Effects of a Reset

A device Reset disables the voltage reference by

clearing bit CVREN (CVRCON<7>). This Reset also

disconnects the reference from the RA2 pin by clearing

bit CVROE (CVRCON<6>) and selects the high-

voltage range by clearing bit CVRR (CVRCON<5>).

The VRSS value select bits, CVRCON<3:0>, are also

cleared.

21.5

Connection Considerations

The voltage reference module operates independently

of the comparator module. The output of the reference

generator may be connected to the RF5 pin if the

TRISF<5> bit is set and the CVROE bit is set. Enabling

the voltage reference output onto the RF5 pin with an

input signal present will increase current consumption.

Connecting RF5 as a digital output with VRSS enabled

will also increase current consumption.

The RF5 pin can be used as a simple D/A output with

limited drive capability. Due to the limited current drive

capability, a buffer must be used on the voltage refer-

ence

output

Figure 21-2 shows an example buffering technique.

Note: R is defined in Section 27.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
