Abstract
A high performance CMOS comparator circuit is integrated with a bypass function allowing comparing first and second data sets (A & B) with a high data width (more than 30 and illustrated as 48 bits). In many cases, it is often required to compare not only sets A&B but also set A with an additional bypass set, and the preferred circuit embodiment permits this to be achieved.
