Analog Comparator Control
and Status Register – ACSR
228
ATmega64(L)
• Bit 7 – ACD: Analog Comparator Disable
When this bit is written logic one, the power to the Analog Comparator is switched off.
This bit can be set at any time to turn off the Analog Comparator. This will reduce power
consumption in Active and Idle mode. When changing the ACD bit, the Analog Compar-
ator Interrupt must be disabled by clearing the ACIE bit in ACSR. Otherwise an interrupt
can occur when the bit is changed.
• Bit 6 – ACBG: Analog Comparator Bandgap Select
When this bit is set, a fixed bandgap reference voltage replaces the positive input to the
Analog Comparator. When this bit is cleared, AIN0 is applied to the positive input of the
Analog Comparator. See “Internal Voltage Reference” on page 54.
• Bit 5 – ACO: Analog Comparator Output
The output of the Analog Comparator is synchronized and then directly connected to
ACO. The synchronization introduces a delay of 1 - 2 clock cycles.
• Bit 4 – ACI: Analog Comparator Interrupt Flag
This bit is set by hardware 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 and the I-bit in SREG is set. ACI is cleared by hardware when execut-
ing 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 written logic one and the I-bit in the Status Register is set, the Ana-
log Comparator interrupt is activated. When written logic zero, the interrupt is disabled.
• Bit 2 – ACIC: Analog Comparator Input Capture Enable
When written logic one, this bit enables the Input Capture function in Timer/Counter1 to
be triggered 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
written logic zero, no connection between the Analog Comparator and the Input Capture
function exists. To make the comparator trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture inter-
rupt, the TICIE1 bit in the Timer Interrupt Mask Register (TIMSK) must be set.
