    摘要: A signal amplitude comparator which includes a first input that receives an input signal and generates an output signal that is a non-linear function of the input signal, and a second input circuit that receives a reference input signal and generates a second output signal that generally tracks process, temperature and supply variation. The signal amplitude comparator also includes an amplifier, a filter and a comparator. The amplifier amplifies a signal difference between the first and second output signals and outputs a train of pulses if a peak of the input signal exceeds the reference input signal. A second reference signal is applied to the comparator which generates an output which indicates whether the input signal exceeds a pre-determined threshold value. The signal amplitude comparator also includes a pair of input amplifiers which receive and translate the input and reference input signals to levels suitable for the input circuits.
