Abstract
A method for controlling operation of a comparator that includes an amplifier that is connected at an input of the comparator includes neutralizing any change of state of a signal output by the comparator starting from each moment in time at which the change of state of the output signal occurs and lasting for a duration of propagation to compensate for a duration of propagation of signals within the amplifier.
