PIC16F87/88
13.0 COMPARATOR MODULE
The comparator module contains two analog
comparators. The inputs to the comparators are
multiplexed with I/O port pins RA0 through RA3, while
the outputs are multiplexed to pins RA3 and RA4. The
on-chip Voltage Reference (Section 14.0 “Comparator
Voltage Reference Module”) can also be an input to
the comparators.
The CMCON register (Register 13-1) controls the
comparator input and output multiplexors. A block
diagram of the various comparator configurations is
shown in Figure 13-1.

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-
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
C1INV: Comparator 1 Output Inversion bit
1 = C1 output inverted
0 = C1 output not inverted
CIS: Comparator Input Switch bit
When CM2:CM0 = 001:
1 = C1 VIN- connects to RA3
0 = C1 VIN- connects to RA0
When CM2:CM0 = 010:
1 = C1 VIN- connects to RA3
C2 VIN- connects to RA2
0 = C1 VIN- connects to RA0
C2 VIN- connects to RA1

Legend:
R = Readable bit
-n = Value at POR
W = Writable bit
‘1’ = Bit is set
U = Unimplemented bit, read as ‘0’
‘0’ = Bit is cleared x = Bit is unknown
