7.4 Comparator Response Time

Response time is the minimum time, after selecting a

new reference voltage or input source, before the

comparator output has a valid level. If the internal

reference is changed, the maximum delay of the

internal voltage reference must be considered when

using the comparator outputs. Otherwise the maximum

delay of the comparators should be used (Table 12-2).

7.5 Comparator Outputs

The comparator outputs are read through the CMCON

register. These bits are read only. The comparator

outputs may also be directly output to the RA3 and RA4

I/O pins. When the CM<2:0> = 110, multiplexors in the

output path of the RA3 and RA4 pins will switch and the

output of each pin will be the unsynchronized output of

the comparator. The uncertainty of each of the

comparators is related to the input offset voltage and the

response time given in the specifications. Figure 7-3

shows the comparator output block diagram.

The TRISA bits will still function as an output enable/

disable for the RA3 and RA4 pins while in this mode.

Note 1: When reading the PORT register, all pins

configured as analog inputs will read as a

‘0’. Pins configured as digital inputs will

convert an analog input according to the

Schmitt Trigger input specification.

2: Analog levels on any pin that is defined as

a digital input may cause the input buffer

to consume more current than is

specified.
