COMPARATOR MODULE

Microcontrollers

 COMPARATOR MODULE

• The comparator module contains two analog compara-

• tors.
• The inputs to the comparators are multiplexed with I/O
port pins RA0 through RA3, while the outputs are
multiplexed to pins RA4 and RA5.
Microcontrollers

• The on-chip voltage reference can also be an input to

the comparators.

 Reasons for using
assembly language
• The default programming language of any
microprocessor or microcontroller is its own assembly
language.
• Assembly language is the first-level abstraction from
machine code, where each instruction is represented by
Microcontrollers

a corresponding text mnemonic.

• When compiled, a C program is converted into
assembler, then to machine code.

 Assembler Block
• The start of the assembler block is
identified by the #asm directive and
terminated with #endasm .
Microcontrollers

• All the code between these points must

conform to the PIC assembler syntax
