摘要:
An integrated, differential, symmetrical-hysteresis trigger circuit includes an input differential amplifier using lateral PNP-transistors, driving an output differential switch using cascaded NPN-transistors. A first current source supplies operating current to the input differential amplifier and a second current source provides operating current for the emitters of the transistors in the output differential amplifier. The collector of one of the output differential amplifier transistors is connected to a third current source, providing current which is less than that provided by the first and second current sources; and a feedback circuit provides snap-action switching of the output differential amplifier. The hysteresis of operation of the circuit is controlled by the magnitude of the emitter resistors in the input differential stage.

A high-speed memory device sensing circuit comprises a difference amplifier having outputs connected to threshold circuit means which detects positive going voltage signals. Outputs from the threshold circuits are connected to set a pair of latches when positive going signals are detected by the threshold circuits. Means for detecting the order in which the latches are set comprises a NAND gate and a third latch connected to the output thereof which is set to produce an output signal when a binary one is read out of memory and which remains in the reset condition when a binary zero signal is read out of memory.

A comparator circuit (100) produces a binary output voltage at an output (109) in response to a time varying input signal received at an input (108). The comparator circuit includes an output circuit (106) having a first current mirror (202), a second current mirror (204), a bias circuit (206) and a helping current source (208). Bias currents are applied in response to the state of the output voltage at the output to increase the gain and the hysteresis of the output circuit.

A latchable comparator including a comparator and a circuit having a reset input. When the comparator produces a first state, it is latched when the reset input is in the non-reset state. In this state, the comparator receives a comparison signal having a high or low value and a latch signal being outside the range of voltages extending between the low and high values. A reset signal causes the latch signal to be replaced by a comparator reference signal. Further disclosed is a latchable comparator including a comparator and a flip-flop. The comparator has a ramp input, a control input, a first reference input and a second reference input. The flip-flop provides latch signals to each of the first and second reference inputs when its reset input is in the non-reset state and said comparator is generating a first state and maintains the latch signals until a reset signal is received.

A comparator with hysteresis in bipolar technology having a voltage/current converter with a voltage input forming the comparator input connection, and a current output, a bistable current source with a current feeding connection coupled with the current output of the voltage/current converter and a current output connection forming the comparator output, the bistable current source being currentless in a first stable state and consuming current only in the second stable state, the firing current which must be fed to the current feeding connection to switch the bistable current source from the currentless state to the power-consuming state being different from the quenching current which must be fed to the current feeding connection to switch the bistable current source from the power-consuming state to the currentless state, to obtain a hysteresis of the comparator, and all transistors being formed as bipolar transistors. The entire power consumption of such a comparator can be made extremely low in one of its two switching positions.

A variable-threshold-type differential signal receiver comprises a differential amplifier for comparing differential voltages of differential input signals with a predetermined threshold voltage so as to provide logical output signals. It further comprises an emitter follower and an impedance means, the output of the emitter follower being superimposed through the impedance means on one of the differential input signals, whereby the predetermined threshold voltage is variably controlled by controlling the input voltage of the first emitter follower.
