CMP configurable reference
This example application shows how to use the CMP Peripheral library to compare voltage level on the negative input with the internal configurable reference voltage.
Description
The peripheral named comparator voltage reference (CVR) can be used by the CMP peripheral. It generates a voltage that can be connected internally to the +ve input of the any of the comparators in the device. This allows to set flexible compare voltages.

Setting up PIC32MZ Embedded Connectivity with FPU (EF) Starter Kit
- Connect mini USB cables from the ‘Debug USB’ and ‘USB-to-UART’ connectors on the board to the computer
- Pin 8 (C1IND) on J12 is the negative input. Connect it to a voltage below the reference voltage (~2V from CVR peripheral) to trigger interrupt
Running the Application
- Open the Terminal application (Ex.:Tera term) on the computer
- Connect to the “USB to UART” COM port and configure the serial settings as follows:
- Baud : 115200
- Data : 8 Bits
- Parity : None
- Stop : 1 Bit
- Flow Control : None
- Build and Program the application project using its IDE
- Following message is output on console:
