COMPARATOR MODULE
The comparator module contains two analog com-
parators. The inputs to the comparators are
multiplexed with the RD0 through RD3 pins. The on-chip
voltage reference (Section 22.0 “Comparator Voltage
Reference Module”
) can also be an input to the
comparators.
The CMCON register, shown in Register 21-1, controls
the comparator input and output multiplexers. A block
diagram of the comparator is shown in Figure 21-1.
REGISTER 21-1:
CMCON: COMPARATOR CONTROL REGISTER 
           
Note:
The analog comparators are only
available on the PIC18F448 and
PIC18F458.
