Tip of the Week: Simplest ideal comparator

archive
archive over 18 years ago

Now that the vcvs component from analogLib allows you to specify "vmax" and "vmin" for the outputs, you can build the world's simplest ideal comparator just by giving a vcvs a very high gain (say 1,000) and specifying the desired maximum and minimum output voltages. 
 
(Earlier versions of the analogLib parts did not allow max/min outputs to be specified.)

    The same structure can be used to generate a square or clock of required frequency with Sinusoidal input. PWL source canot be used for creating squrewaves of exactly required fundamental frequency.

    I m in inverter tutorial and getting error =
    xi0.m1: Effective length is less than or equal to zero.

    I changed the L & W to a certain range but it did not help.

    Moreover for an another project i need to vary L & W to a certain range and see its graph simultaneously ... Can i do this? I know i can vary dc ac voltage and all that in analysys section but how can i do this in case of physical parameters such as Length and Width?
    Can i vary the performance by changing any other parameter?
    Thanks fr suggestion
