19.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The analog comparator module contains two compara-
tors that can be configured in a variety of ways. The
inputs can be selected from the analog inputs multiplexed
with pins RA0 through RA5, as well as the on-chip volt-
inverted) are available at the pin level and can also be
read through the control register.
comparator input and output configuration. Block

bit 7
C2OUT: Comparator 2 Output bit
When C2INV = 0:
1 = C2 VIN+ > C2 VIN-
0 = C2 VIN+ < C2 VIN-
When C2INV = 1:
1 = C2 VIN+ < C2 VIN-
0 = C2 VIN+ > C2 VIN-
bit 6
C1OUT: Comparator 1 Output bit
When C1INV = 0:
1 = C1 VIN+ > C1 VIN-
0 = C1 VIN+ < C1 VIN-
When C1INV = 1:
1 = C1 VIN+ < C1 VIN-
0 = C1 VIN+ > C1 VIN-
bit 5
C2INV: Comparator 2 Output Inversion bit
1 = C2 output inverted
0 = C2 output not inverted
bit 4
C1INV: Comparator 1 Output Inversion bit
1 = C1 output inverted
0 = C1 output not inverted
bit 3
CIS: Comparator Input Switch bit
When CM2:CM0 = 110:
1 =C1 VIN+ connects to RA3/AN3/VREF+
C2 VIN+ connects to RA2/AN2/VREF-/CVREF
0 =C1 VIN- connects to RA0/AN0
C2 VIN- connects to RA1/AN1
bit 2-0
CM2:CM0: Comparator Mode bits
Figure 19-1 shows the Comparator modes and the CM2:CM0 bit settings.
Legend:
R = Readable bit
W = Writable bit
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
-n = Value at POR
‘1’ = Bit is set
‘0’ = Bit is cleared
x = Bit is unknown
