PIC16(L)F1847
14.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(FVR)
The Fixed Voltage Reference, or FVR, is a stable
voltage reference, independent of VDD, with 1.024V,
2.048V or 4.096V selectable output levels. The output
of the FVR can be configured to supply a reference
voltage to the following:
• ADC input channel
• ADC positive reference
• Comparator positive input
• Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC)
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the FVRCON register.
14.1 Independent Gain Amplifiers
The output of the FVR supplied to the ADC,
Comparators, and DAC is routed through two
independent programmable gain amplifiers. Each
amplifier can be configured to amplify the reference
voltage by 1x, 2x or 4x, to produce the three possible
voltage levels.
The ADFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the ADC module. Refer-
ence Section 16.0 “Analog-to-Digital Converter
(ADC) Module”for additional information.
The CDAFVR<1:0> bits of the FVRCON register are
used to enable and configure the gain amplifier settings
for the reference supplied to the DAC and comparator
module. Reference Section 17.0 “Digital-to-Analog
Converter (DAC) Module” and Section 19.0 “Com-
parator Module” for additional information.
14.2 FVR Stabilization Period
When the Fixed Voltage Reference module is enabled, it
requires time for the reference and amplifier circuits to
stabilize. Once the circuits stabilize and are ready for use,
the FVRRDY bit of the FVRCON register will be set. See
Section 30.0 “Electrical Specifications” for the
minimum delay requirement.
