Comparator Interrupt with Debouncing
AT89LP213/214
A single analog comparator is provided on the AT89LP213/214. The analog comparator has the
following features:
Comparator operation is such that the output is a logic “1” when the positive input AIN0 (P1.0]) is
greater than the negative input AIN1 (P1.1). Otherwise the output is a zero. Setting the CEN bit
in ACSR enables the comparator. When the comparator is first enabled, the comparator output
and interrupt flag are not guaranteed to be stable for 10 µs. The corresponding comparator inter-
rupt should not be enabled during that time, and the comparator interrupt flag must be cleared
before the interrupt is enabled in order to prevent an immediate interrupt service. Before
enabling the comparator the analog inputs should be tristated by putting P1.0 and P1.1 into
input-only mode. See
The comparator may be configured to cause an interrupt under a variety of output value condi-
tions by setting the CM bits in ACSR. The comparator interrupt flag CF in ACSR is set whenever
the comparator output matches the condition specified by CM. The flag may be polled by soft-
ware or may be used to generate an interrupt and must be cleared by software.
The comparator output is sampled every clock cycle. The conditions on the analog inputs may
be such that the comparator output will toggle excessively. This is especially true if applying slow
moving analog inputs. Three debouncing modes are provided to filter out this noise. In debounc-
ing mode, the comparator uses Timer 1 to modulate its sampling time. When a relevant
transition occurs, the comparator waits until two Timer 1 overflows have occurred before resam-
pling the output. If the new sample agrees with the expected value, CF is set. Otherwise, the
event is ignored. The filter may be tuned by adjusting the time-out period of Timer 1. Because
Timer 1 is free running, the debouncer must wait for two overflows to guarantee that the sam-
pling delay is at least 1 time-out period. Therefore, after the initial edge event, the interrupt may
occur between 1 and 2 time-out periods later. See
By default the comparator is disabled during Idle mode. To allow the comparator to function dur-
ing Idle, the CIDL bit is ACSR must be set. When CIDL is set, the comparator can be used to
wake-up the CPU from Idle if the comparator interrupt is enabled. The comparator is always dis-
abled during Power-down mode.
