ABSTRACT:
A comparator circuit performs at least three compare operations, wherein in each compare operation the comparator compares two of at least three reference voltages to one another and provides a signal to indicate which of the two reference voltages is greater. A decode logic circuit in response to the signals provided by the comparator circuit in the at least three compare operations selects the median reference voltage from among the at least three reference voltages, and causes a multiplexer to transfer the median reference voltage to an output terminal of the mux.
