externally driven from –0.25 V to (V_DD) + 0.25 V without damage or upset. The complete Comparator elec-
trical specifications are given in Section “6. Electrical Characteristics” on page 27.
The Comparator response time may be configured in software via the CPT0MD register (see SFR Defini-
tion 11.2). Selecting a longer response time reduces the Comparator supply current.

Figure 11.2. Comparator Hysteresis Plot
The Comparator hysteresis is software-programmable via its Comparator Control register CPT0CN. The
user can program both the amount of hysteresis voltage (referred to the input voltage) and the positive and
negative-going symmetry of this hysteresis around the threshold voltage.
The Comparator hysteresis is programmed using Bits3–0 in the Comparator Control Register CPT0CN
(shown in SFR Definition 11.1). The amount of negative hysteresis voltage is determined by the settings of
the CP0HYN bits. As shown in Figure 11.2, settings of 20, 10 or 5 mV of negative hysteresis can be pro-
grammed, or negative hysteresis can be disabled. In a similar way, the amount of positive hysteresis is
determined by the setting the CP0HYP bits.
Comparator interrupts can be generated on both rising-edge and falling-edge output transitions. (For Inter-
rupt enable and priority control, see Section “15.1. MCU Interrupt Sources and Vectors” on page 83). The
CP0FIF flag is set to logic 1 upon a Comparator falling-edge occurrence, and the CP0RIF flag is set to
logic 1 upon the Comparator rising-edge occurrence. Once set, these bits remain set until cleared by soft-
ware. The Comparator rising-edge interrupt mask is enabled by setting CP0RIE to a logic 1. The
Comparator0 falling-edge interrupt mask is enabled by setting CP0FIE to a logic 1.
