4.10 Typical Applications
4.10.1 PRECISE COMPARATOR
Some applications require higher DC precision. An
easy way to solve this problem is to use an amplifier
(such as the MCP6041) to gain-up the input signal
before it reaches the comparator. Figure 4-11 shows an
example of this approach.

4.10.2 WINDOWED COMPARATOR
Figure 4-12 shows one approach to designing a win-
dowed comparator. The AND gate produces a logic ‘1’
when the input voltage is between VRB and VRT (where
VRT > VRB).

4.10.3 BISTABLE MULTI-VIBRATOR
A simple bistable multi-vibrator design is shown in
Figure 4-13. VREF needs to be between the power
supplies (VSS = GND and VDD) to achieve oscillation.
The output duty cycle changes with VREF.
