Module (DS39708)<br />

5.2.2 Compara<strong>to</strong>r<br />

A compara<strong>to</strong>r compares two analog inputs and switches its output <strong>to</strong> indicate which is<br />

larger. When the Vin+ input is larger than <strong>to</strong> the Vin- input, the output is high. When the<br />

Vin- input is larger than the Vin+ input, the output is low.<br />

compara<strong>to</strong>r<br />

Inputs Output<br />

Vin+ > Vin- High<br />

Vin+ < Vin- Low<br />

Vin+ = Vin- Indeterminate<br />

The PIC24FJ256GB110 compara<strong>to</strong>r input/output configurations are completely user<br />

programmable using the CMxCON registers.<br />
