Hysteresis can easily be added to a comparator through the addition of positive feedback. Adding hysteresis to a comparator R1 V = V − − + 1 V V (1) HI ( REF ) REF offers an advantage in noisy environments where it is not desirable R1 + R2 for the output to toggle between states when the input signal is ⎛ ⎞ near the switching threshold.

Configuring the AD8564 with Hysteresis 1 The input signal is connected directly to the inverting input of At frequencies greater than f = , the hysteresis P 2 C π R2 the comparator. The output is fed back to the noninverting F input through R2 and R1. The ratio of R1 to R1 + R2 and the window approaches VHI = V+ – 1 V and VLO = 0 V. output swing establishes the width of the hysteresis window, At frequencies less than fP, the threshold voltages remain as it is with VREF setting the center of the window or the average in Equation 1. switching voltage.
