5.2 Comparator

The comparator peripheral in the device compares the voltage levels on two input terminals and provides a digital output (based on this comparison). The comparator supports the following key features:​

  • Programmable hysteresis
  • Programmable reference voltage:
    • External reference voltage (VREF I/O)
    • Dedicated Internal reference voltage (1.4V, 2.5V) available in RUN, SLEEP, STOP, and STANDBY modes.
    • Integrated 8-bit reference DAC
  • Configurable operation modes:
    • High-speed mode
    • Lower-power mode (not to be used in safety critical applications)
  • Programmable output glitch filter delay
  • Supports output wake-up device from all low power modes (not to be used in safety critical applications)
  • Output is connected to an advanced timer fault handling mechanism
  • The IPSEL and IMSEL bits in comparator registers can be used to select the comparator channel inputs from device pins or from internal analog modules.

The following tests must be applied for the targeted ASIL as functional safety mechanisms for this module (to provide diagnostic coverage on a specific function):

Table 5-2 Comparator Safety Mechanisms
Safety Mechanism Description Faults | Failure Modes
COMP1 Periodic software read back of static configuration registers Targeted toward configuration registers in comparator.
COMP2 Software Test of Comparator using Internal DAC Targeted toward testing comparator functioning using device DAC as first input and comparators internal reference DAC as second input.
COMP3 Comparator test using an external pin as a test input Targeted to test the comparator functioning using an external pin as test input.
COMP4 Comparator hysteresis This is a fault avoidance technique, which can be used to filter the noise on the input to the comparator.
COMP5 Redundant Comparator A second comparator us used to monitor same signal as first comparator to create redundancy for monitoring a fault event response
WDT Windowed watchdog event Targeted toward interrupt generation logic. If a periodic interrupt is expected from the comparator watchdog, this mechanism can be used to detect faults in the interrupt logic.
