Abstract
A high-speed signal level detector employs the high gain and high bandwidth of an inverter to perform a comparison. The high-speed signal level detector is capable of achieving the desired high-speed level detection without demanding the substantial power consumption required when using either the averaging technique or a high bandwidth op-amp type comparator.
