PIC16F913/914/916/917/946
8.2
Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the comparator.
The CM<2:0> bits of the CMCON0 register are used to
select these modes as shown in Figure 8-5. I/O lines
change as a function of the mode and are designated
as follows:
• Analog function (A): digital input buffer is disabled
• Digital function (D): comparator digital output,
overrides port function
• Normal port function (I/O): independent of
comparator
The port pins denoted as “A” will read as a ‘0’
regardless of the state of the I/O pin or the I/O control
TRIS bit. Pins used as analog inputs should also have
the corresponding TRIS bit set to ‘1’ to disable the
digital output driver. Pins denoted as “D” should have
the corresponding TRIS bit set to ‘0’ to enable the
digital output driver.
Note:
Comparator interrupts should be disabled
during a Comparator mode change to
prevent unintended interrupts.
