Abstract

See full text

A comparator can incorporate a hysteresis circuit to control when the output of the comparator changes between a high voltage signal and a low voltage signal. The comparator can receive a differential signal and can output either the high voltage signal or the low voltage signal. When the differential input signal is above a first threshold voltage, the output of the comparator can transition to the high voltage signal and when the differential input signal is below a second threshold voltage, the output of the comparator can transition to the low voltage signal. The hysteresis circuit of the comparator is used to adjust the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage required to transition the output of the comparator based on the present state of the output signal of the comparator.
