ABSTRACT:
A binary threshold comparator is disclosed for first and second binary numbers, wherein the first is variable and the second is a threshold or reference, with the complement of the second number available. The comparator may be a high threshold (greater/equal) comparator or a low threshold (less/equal) comparator. It comprises 5 MOSFETs per bit stage, with two additional MOSFETs per comparator for high/low determination and carry in precharge. A particular multi-bit embodiment of the comparator has a modified most significant bit stage which provides a complement of the normal output when the most significant bits of the numbers to be compared are different to prevent an immediate reversal of comparator output when a counter containing the variable number rolls over from all ones to all zeros or vice versa.
