Comparators
C8051F31x devices include two on-chip programmable voltage comparators: Comparator0 is shown in
exceptions: (1) Their input selections differ as shown in Figure 7.1 and Figure 7.2; (2) Comparator0 can be
used as a reset source.
The Comparator offers programmable response time and hysteresis, an analog input multiplexer, and two
outputs that are optionally available at the Port pins: a synchronous “latched” output (CP0, CP1), or an
asynchronous “raw” output (CP0A, CP1A). The asynchronous CP0A signal is available even when the
system clock is not active. This allows the Comparator to operate and generate an output with the device
in STOP mode. When assigned to a Port pin, the Comparator output may be configured as open drain or
push-pull (see
Comparator0 may also be used as a
reset source (see
The Comparator0 inputs are selected in the CPT0MX register (SFR Definition 7.2). The CMX0P1-CMX0P0
bits select the Comparator0 positive input; the CMX0N1-CMX0N0 bits select the Comparator0 negative
input. The Comparator1 inputs are selected in the CPT1MX register (SFR Definition 7.5). The CMX1P1-
CMX1P0 bits select the Comparator1 positive input; the CMX1N1-CMX1N0 bits select the Comparator1
negative input.
Important Note About Comparator Inputs:
The Port pins selected as comparator inputs should be con-
figured as analog inputs in their associated Port configuration register, and configured to be skipped by the
Crossbar (for details on Port configuration, see
