Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a voltage comparator, an integrated circuit, or a voltage comparison method having increased precision. The hysteresis comparator or the integrated circuit can include first and second input transistors, each having a gate configured to receive a respective first or second input voltage. A bias power source can generate a bias current to a first node by applying a voltage through a first resistor. The first node can be connected to a source of the first input transistor through a second resistor and to a source of the second input transistor through a third resistor. The first, second, and third resistors can include the same type of resistor, with the second and third resistors having different resistance values.
