Internal Signal Connections to Timer1_A5
The outputs of the analog front end are connected to 3 different
capture/compare registers of Timer1_A5. The output stage of the analog front
end, shown in Figure 247. provides two different modes that are selected by
the SIFCS bit and provides the SIFOx signals to Timer1_A5. See the
device-specific datasheet for connection of these signals.

Comparator Output
When SIFCS = 1, the SIFEX(tsm) signal and the comparator output can be
selected as inputs to different Timer1_A5 capture/compare registers. This can
be used to measure the time between excitation of a sensor and the last
oscillation that passes through the comparator or to perform a slope A/D
conversion.
When SIFCS =0, the output bits SIFxOUT can be selected as inputs to
Timer1_A5 with the SIFS1x and SIFS2x bits. This can be used to measure the
duty cycle of SIFxOUT.
