21.1 Comparator Configuration
There are eight modes of operation for the compara-
tors, shown in Figure 21-1. Bits, CM<2:0> of the
CMCON register, are used to select these modes. The
TRISA register controls the data direction of the com-
parator pins for each mode. If the Comparator mode is
changed, the comparator output level may not be valid
for the specified mode change delay shown in
Section 28.0 “Electrical Characteristics”.
FIGURE 21-1: COMPARATOR I/O OPERATING MODES
Note: Comparator interrupts should be disabled
during a Comparator mode change;
otherwise, a false interrupt may occur.
