the ACIE bit is set and the I-bit in SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware when execut-
ing the corresponding interrupt handling vector. Alternatively, ACI is cleared by writing a
logic one to the flag.
• Bit 3 – ACIE: Analog Comparator Interrupt Enable
When the ACIE bit is written logic one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Ana-
log Comparator interrupt is activated. When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable
When written logic one, this bit enables the Input Capture function in Timer/Counter1 to
be triggered by the Analog Comparator. The comparator output is in this case directly
connected to the Input Capture front-end logic, making the comparator utilize the noise
canceler and edge select features of the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture interrupt. When
written logic zero, no connection between the Analog Comparator and the Input Capture
function exists. To make the comparator trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture inter-
rupt, the TICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK) must be set.
• Bits 1, 0 – ACIS1, ACIS0: Analog Comparator Interrupt Mode Select
These bits determine which comparator events that trigger the Analog Comparator inter-
rupt. The different settings are shown in Table 72.
When changing the ACIS1/ACIS0 bits, the Analog Comparator interrupt must be dis-
abled by clearing its Interrupt Enable bit in the ACSR Register. Otherwise an interrupt
can occur when the bits are changed.
