Bits 26:24 – FLEN[2:0] Filter Length

These bits configure the filtering for comparator n. COMPCTRLn.FLEN can only be written while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 OFF No filtering
0x1 MAJ3 3-bit majority function (2 of 3)
0x2 MAJ5 5-bit majority function (3 of 5)
0x3-0x7 N/A Reserved

Bit 19 – HYST Hysteresis Enable

This bit indicates the hysteresis mode of comparator n. Hysteresis is available only for continuous mode (COMPCTRLn. SINGLE=0). COMPCTRLn.HYST can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

This bit is not synchronized.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueName
0 Hysteresis is disabled.
1 Hysteresis is enabled.

Bits 17:16 – OUT[1:0] Output

These bits configure the output selection for comparator n. COMPCTRLn.OUT can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 OFF The output of COMPn is not routed to the COMPn I/O port
0x1 ASYNC The asynchronous output of COMPn is routed to the COMPn I/O port
0x2 SYNC The synchronous output (including filtering) of COMPn is routed to the COMPn I/O port
0x3 N/A Reserved

Bit 15 – SWAP Swap Inputs and Invert

This bit swaps the positive and negative inputs to COMPn and inverts the output. This function can be used for offset cancellation. COMPCTRLn.SWAP can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueDescription
0 The output of MUXPOS connects to the positive input, and the output of MUXNEG connects to the negative input.
1 The output of MUXNEG connects to the positive input, and the output of MUXPOS connects to the negative input.

Bits 13:12 – MUXPOS[1:0] Positive Input Mux Selection

These bits select which input will be connected to the positive input of comparator n. COMPCTRLn.MUXPOS can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 PIN0 I/O pin 0
0x1 PIN1 I/O pin 1
0x2 PIN2 I/O pin 2
0x3 PIN3 I/O pin 3

Bits 10:8 – MUXNEG[2:0] Negative Input Mux Selection

These bits select which input will be connected to the negative input of comparator n. COMPCTRLn.MUXNEG can only be written while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 PIN0 I/O pin 0
0x1 PIN1 I/O pin 1
0x2 PIN2 I/O pin 2
0x3 PIN3 I/O pin 3
0x4 GND Ground
0x5 VSCALE VDD scaler
0x6 BANDGAP Internal bandgap voltage
0x7 DAC DAC output

Bits 6:5 – INTSEL[1:0] Interrupt Selection

These bits select the condition for comparator n to generate an interrupt or event. COMPCTRLn.INTSEL can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 TOGGLE Interrupt on comparator output toggle
0x1 RISING Interrupt on comparator output rising
0x2 FALLING Interrupt on comparator output falling
0x3 EOC Interrupt on end of comparison (single-shot mode only)

Bits 3:2 – SPEED[1:0] Speed Selection

This bit indicates the speed/propagation delay mode of comparator n. COMPCTRLn.SPEED can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueNameDescription
0x0 LOW Low speed
0x1 HIGH High speed
0x2-0x3 N/A Reserved

Bit 1 – SINGLE Single-Shot Mode

This bit determines the operation of comparator n. COMPCTRLn.SINGLE can be written only while COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is zero.

These bits are not synchronized.

ValueDescription
0 Comparator n operates in continuous measurement mode.
1 Comparator n operates in single-shot mode.

Bit 0 – ENABLE Enable

Writing a zero to this bit disables comparator n.
Writing a one to this bit enables comparator n. After writing to this bit, the value read back will not change until the action initiated by the writing is complete.

Due to synchronization, there is a latency of at least two GCLK_AC_DIG clock cycles from updating the register until the comparator is enabled/disabled. The bit will continue to read the previous state while the change is in progress. Writing a one to COMPCTRLn.ENABLE will prevent further changes to the other bits in COMPCTRLn. These bits remain protected until COMPCTRLn.ENABLE is written to zero and the write is synchronized.
