7.9
This feature can be used to time the duration or inter-
val of analog events. Clearing the T1GSS bit of the
CMCON1 register will enable Timer1 to increment
based on the output of the comparator (or Comparator
C2 for PIC16F636/639). This requires that Timer1 is
on and gating is enabled. See Section 6.0 “Timer1
Module with Gate Control” for details.
It is recommended to synchronize the comparator with
Timer1 by setting the CxSYNC bit when the comparator
is used as the Timer1 gate source. This ensures Timer1
does not miss an increment if the comparator changes
during an increment.
7.10
The comparator (or Comparator C2 for PIC16F636/639)
output can be synchronized with Timer1 by setting the
CxSYNC bit of the CMCON1 register. When enabled,
the comparator output is latched on the falling edge of
the Timer1 clock source. If a prescaler is used with
Timer1, the comparator output is latched after the
prescaling function. To prevent a race condition, the
comparator output is latched on the falling edge of the
Timer1 clock source and Timer1 increments on the rising
edge of its clock source. See the Comparator Block
Diagram (Figure 7-2) and the Timer1 Block Diagram
(Figure 6-1) for more information.
