PIC18F2480/2580/4480/4580
The CMCON register (Register 21-1) selects the
comparator input and output configuration. Block
diagrams of the various comparator configurations are
shown in Figure 21-1.
21.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The analog comparator module contains two
comparators 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 voltage reference (see Section 22.0
“Comparator Voltage Reference Module”). The
digital outputs (normal or inverted) are available at the
pin level and can also be read through the control
register.
