• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output
ACO is directly connected to the comparator output.
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag
This bit is set (one) when a comparator output event triggers the Interrupt mode defined
by ACIS1 and ACIS0. The Analog Comparator Interrupt routine is executed if the ACIE
bit is set (one) and the I-bit in SREG is set (one). ACI is cleared by hardware when exe-
cuting 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 set (one) and the I-bit in the Status Register is set (one), the Ana-
log Comparator interrupt is activated. When cleared (zero), the interrupt is disabled.
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable
When set (one), this bit enables the Input Capture function in Timer/Counter1 to be trig-
gered 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
cleared (zero), no connection between the Analog Comparator and the Input Capture
function is given. To make the comparator trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture
interrupt, the TICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK) must be set (one).
• 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 37.
Table 37. ACIS1/ACIS0 Settings
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.
