comparator input
PostPosted: Wed Dec 10, 2008 11:50 am     Reply with quote

Hi,

1) Have seen some workable codes using comparator, but the code
does not include setting the input pin as analog like using
'setup_adc_ports(ALL_ANALOG)' in AD conversion. Why is this so ?

2) Have checked the ANSEL register using MPLAB SIM & all the bits
are '0'. Doesn't bits of ANSEL register='0' means digital i/o, then how can
it be an analog i/p of a comparator?

3) Referring to the following code, is a delay required before the
following statement ?:

Code:
if(C1OUT==1){


Thanks,
CJ
Code:

#include <16F690.h>

#FUSES NOWDT,INTRC_IO,NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,NOMCLR,NOCPD,NOPUT,NOIESO,NOFCMEN

void main()
{
setup_comparator(CP1_A1_VR);
setup_vref(VREF_HIGH|15);

while(1)
{
if(C1OUT==1){
output_high(PIN_C6);}
else if(C1OUT==0)
{
output_low(PIN_C6);}
}

Hi PCM,

Ver4.038

& also seen that C1VREN bit of VRCON register is not set to '1' when the function setup_vref(VREF_HIGH|15) is used.

Is it correct for me to say that C1VREN bit of VRCON register should be set to '1' when function setup_vref(VREF_HIGH|15) is used ?

as the data sheet states that C1VREN='1' is CVREF cct powered on and routed to C1VREF input of of Comparator C1



Code:
#include <16F690.h>

#FUSES NOWDT,INTRC_IO,NOPROTECT,NOBROWNOUT,NOMCLR,NOCPD,NOPUT,NOIESO,NOFCMEN

void main()
{
setup_comparator(CP1_A1_VR);
setup_vref(VREF_HIGH|15);

while(1)
{
if(C1OUT==1){
output_high(PIN_C6);}
else if(C1OUT==0)
{
output_low(PIN_C6);}

The 16F690 data sheet does not explicitly state that ANSEL register must
be set to analog inputs for the comparator pins. It sort of implies it,
in two statements given in "gray boxes" in the data sheet.

The CCS generated ASM code for setup_comparator() does not set the
pins to analog. They are put into digital i/o mode by the CCS start-up
code, and left in that state. If you want to configure the pins as analog
inputs, you can use the setup_adc_ports() function to do it. Refer to the
16F690.H file for a list of constants used with that function.

I don't think so.

There are two constants in the 16F690.H file that can be OR'ed into the
setup_vref() statement, to control the C1VREN and C2VREN bits:
Code:

#define VREF_COMP1  0x80
#define VREF_COMP2  0x40
