ACMP

Detailed Description

Analog comparator (ACMP) Peripheral API.

The Analog Comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is higher. Inputs can either be one of the selectable internal references or from external pins. Response time and thereby also the current consumption can be configured by altering the current supply to the comparator.

The ACMP is available down to EM3 and is able to wakeup the system when input signals pass a certain threshold. Use ACMP_IntEnable to enable an edge interrupt to use this functionality.

Here is an example of how to use the em_acmp.h API for comparing an input pin to an internal 2.5V reference voltage.

/* The ACMP is a high-frequency peripheral so we need to enable
* both the HFPER clock and the ACMP0 clock. */
/* Initialize with default settings. */
init.enable = false;
ACMP_Init(ACMP0, &init);
/* Setup the two channels to compare. The first argument is the negative
* channel and the second argument is the positive channel.
*
* Here we compare channel 0 with the 2.5 V internal reference. When
* channel 0 is lower than 2.5 V then the ACMP output is 0 and when
* channel 0 voltage is higher than 2.5 V then the ACMP output is 1. */
/* To be able to probe the output we can send the ACMP output to a pin.
* The second argument to this function is the pin location which is
* device dependent. */
ACMP_GPIOSetup(ACMP0, 0, true, false);
/* Finally we enable the ACMP. */
Note
The ACMP can also be used to compare two separate input pins.

The ACMP also contains specialized hardware for capacitive sensing. This module contains the function ACMP_CapsenseInit for initializing the ACMP for capacitive sensing and the function ACMP_CapsenseChannelSet for selecting the current capsense channel.

For applications that require capacitive sensing it is recommended to use a library like cslib which is provided by Silicon Labs.

void ACMP_CapsenseInit ( ACMP_TypeDef acmp,
const ACMP_CapsenseInit_TypeDef init 
)

Sets up the ACMP for use in capacative sense applications.

This function sets up the ACMP for use in capacacitve sense applications. To use the capacative sense functionality in the ACMP you need to use the PRS output of the ACMP module to count the number of oscillations in the capacative sense circuit (possibly using a TIMER).

Note
A basic example of capacative sensing can be found in the STK BSP (capsense demo).
Parameters
[in]acmpPointer to ACMP peripheral register block.
[in]initPointer to initialization structure used to configure ACMP for capacative sensing operation.
