14.0 FIXED VOLTAGE REFERENCE
(FVR)
The Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) is a stable voltage
reference, independent of V
DD, with a nominal output
level (V
FVR) of 1.024V. The output of the FVR can be
configured to supply a reference voltage to the
following:
• ADC input channel
• Comparator positive input
• Comparator negative input
The FVR can be enabled by setting the FVREN bit of
the FVRCON register.
14.1 Independent Gain Amplifier
The output of the FVR supplied to the peripherals,
(listed above), is routed through a programmable gain
amplifier. Each amplifier can be programmed for a gain
of 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 comparator modules.
Reference Section 19.0 “Comparator Module” for
additional information.
To minimize current consumption when the FVR is
disabled, the FVR buffers should be turned off by
clearing the Buffer Gain Selection bits.
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.
