19.1 Description
The analog comparator is connected to the I/O pins as follows:
• The positive input pin is connected to P0_5.
• The negative input pin is connected to P0_4.
• The output can be read from CMPCTL.OUTPUT.
The comparator pins must be configured as analog pins by setting bits APCFG[5:4] to 1. The
CMPCTL.EN bit is used to enable/disable the comparator. The output from the comparator is connected
internally to the edge detector that controls P0IFG[5]. This makes it possible to associate an I/O interrupt
with a rising/falling edge on the comparator output. When enabled, the comparator remains active while in
power mode 2 or 3. Thus, it is possible to wake up from power mode 2/3 on a rising or falling edge on the
comparator output.
