Each tap at the resistor ladder is used for one comparator, possibly preceded by an amplification stage, and thus generates a logical 0 or 1 depending on whether the measured voltage is above or below the reference voltage of the voltage divider. The reason to add an amplifier is twofold: it amplifies the voltage difference.
The circuit on the left is satisfiable but the circuit on the right is not. In theoretical computer science, the circuit satisfiability problem (also known as CIRCUIT-SAT, CircuitSAT, CSAT, etc.) is the decision problem of determining whether a given Boolean circuit has an assignment of its inputs that makes the output true.

In a formula, if the top wire carries x and the bottom wire carries y, then after hitting a comparator the wires carry ′ = (,) and ′ = (,), respectively, so the pair of values is sorted. [ 5 ] : 635 A network of wires and comparators that will correctly sort all possible inputs into ascending order is called a sorting network or Kruskal hub.
Parity only depends on the number of ones and is therefore a symmetric Boolean function.. The n-variable parity function and its negation are the only Boolean functions for which all disjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 monomials of length n and all conjunctive normal forms have the maximal number of 2 n − 1 clauses of length n.

In most cases a comparator is implemented using a dedicated comparator IC, but op-amps may be used as an alternative. Comparator diagrams and op-amp diagrams use the same symbols. A simple comparator circuit made using an op-amp without feedback simply heavily amplifies the voltage difference between Vin and VREF and outputs the result as Vout.
Circuit diagram for threshold detector with hysteresis. The threshold detector with hysteresis consists of an operational amplifier and a series of resistors that provide hysteresis. [1]: 5 [2]: 7 [3] Like other detectors, this device functions as a voltage switch, but with an important difference. The state of the detector output is not ...
The size of a circuit is the number of gates it contains and its depth is the maximal length of a path from an input gate to the output gate. There are two major notions of circuit complexity. [1] The circuit-size complexity of a Boolean function is the minimal size of any circuit computing .
