14.3 Comparator_A Control Registers
The Comparator_A module is configured with three module registers as
shown in Table 14–1. The module registers are mapped into the lower periph-
eral file address range where all byte modules are located and should be ac-
cessed with byte instructions (suffix B).

CAIFG, bit0: The Comparator_A interrupt flag
CAIE, bit1: The Comparator_A interrupt enable
CAIES, bit2: The Comparator_A interrupt edge select bit
0: The rising edge of the comparator output sets the
Comparator_A interrupt flag CAIFG
1: The falling edge of the comparator output sets the
Comparator_A interrupt flag CAIFG
CAON, bit3: The comparator is switched on or off. When off, the cur-
rent consumption of the comparator is stopped. The cur-
rent consumption of the reference circuitry is enabled or
disabled independently.
0: The comparator is disabled, current consumption is
stopped and the output of the comparator is low.
1: The comparator is enabled and active.
CAREF, bit4,5: 0: Internal reference is switched off. An external
reference can be applied.
1: 0.25*Vcc reference is selected
2: 0.50*Vcc reference is selected
3: Diode reference is selected.
The diode reference varies with each individual
device, temperature and supply voltage. See device
data sheet.
