  • Abstract
    A high-speed comparator consisting of a tunnel diode and a balanced four-transistor isolating amplifier is proposed. A low-frequency sensitivity of better than 10 mV and a hysteresis of approximately 300 mV were obtained. A maximum operating frequency in excess of 800 MHz was achieved.
