COMPARATOR MODULE
The comparator module contains two analog compara-
tors. The inputs to the comparators are multiplexed
with I/O port pins RA0 through RA3, while the outputs
are multiplexed to pins RA4 and RA5. The on-chip volt-
comparators.
parator input and output multiplexers. A block diagram
of the various comparator configurations is shown in

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-

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
C2 VIN- connects to RA2/AN2
0
=C1 VIN- connects to RA0/AN0
C2 VIN- connects to RA1/AN1

CM2:CM0: Comparator Mode bits
Figure 12-1 shows the Comparator modes and 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
