Analog Comparator and Voltage Reference Example

This hands-on project demonstrates a simple example of analog comparator and reference voltage:
Bandgap reference as positive input (1.1V) and AIN1 as negative input. By wiring AIN1 (PD7) to Switch (SW0, PB7), which turns on to high (5 V) and off to GND, and wiring ACO (PE0) to PB5 (LED0), the output of the comparator (ACO, PE0) can be observed by checking the LED’s status.

  • Wiring : PD7 (AIN1) | PB7 (SW0; PE0 (ACO) | PB5 (LED0)
