Description
Comparators are used for many things, but many people want to build analog-to-digital converters using a comparator. Comparators are one basic building block of all ADC architectures. A PICmicro® microcontroller with internal comparators can become an ADC with the application of some software and a minimum of external hardware. In this application note you will be shown how to build a Slope ADC. This ADC has been used with the digital pins on PICmicro microcontrollers for many years. The addition of a comparator to the circuit improves the results and reduces the power consumption.
