 AVR128: Setup and Use of the AVR Analog

Comparator

 APPLICATION NOTE

Introduction

This application note serves as an example on how to set up and use the
Atmel

®

 AVR

®

 On-chip Analog Comparator. The following program examples

are given in the assembly file “avr200.asm”:

Detect a positive edge on the comparator output by polling the ACO-
bit in the Analog Comparator Control and Status Register – ACSR.

Detect a positive edge on the comparator output by polling the Analog
Comparator Interrupt Flag – ACI in ACSR.

Initialize interrupt on comparator output toggle. An interrupt routine
which increments a 16-bit counter each time it is executed is given as
an example.
