Analog Comparators
2. Enable the clock to the appropriate GPIO modules via the RCGC2 register (see page 271). To
find out which GPIO ports to enable, refer to Table 22-5 on page 980.
3. In the GPIO module, enable the GPIO port/pin associated with the input signals as GPIO inputs.
To determine which GPIO to configure, see Table 22-4 on page 976.
4. Configure the PMCn fields in the GPIOPCTL register to assign the analog comparator output
signals to the appropriate pins (see page 441 and Table 22-5 on page 980).
5. Configure the internal voltage reference to 1.65 V by writing the ACREFCTL register with the
value 0x0000.030C.
6. Configure the comparator to use the internal voltage reference and to not invert the output by
writing the ACCTLn register with the value of 0x0000.040C.
7. Delay for 10 µs.
8. Read the comparator output value by reading the ACSTATn register’s OVAL value.
Change the level of the comparator negative input signal C- to see the OVAL value change.

Register Map
Table 18-3 on page 862 lists the comparator registers. The offset listed is a hexadecimal increment
to the register’s address, relative to the Analog Comparator base address of 0x4003.C000. Note
that the analog comparator clock must be enabled before the registers can be programmed (see
page 262). There must be a delay of 3 system clocks after the analog comparator module clock is
enabled before any analog comparator module registers are accessed.
