Quick Facts
What?
The ACMP (Analog Comparator) compares two ana-
log signals and returns a digital value telling which is
greater.
Why?
Applications often do not need to know the exact
value of an analog signal, only if it has passed a cer-
tain threshold. Often the voltage must be monitored
continuously, which requires extremely low power
consumption.
How?
Available down to Energy Mode 3 and using as little
as 100 nA, the ACMP can wake up the system when
input signals pass the threshold. The analog compa-
rator can compare two analog signals or one analog
signal and a highly configurable internal reference.
25.1 Introduction
The Analog Comparator compares the voltage of two analog inputs and outputs a digital signal indicating which input voltage is higher.
Inputs can either be from internal references or from external pins. Response time, and thereby the current consumption, can be config-
ured by altering the current supply to the comparator.
