RELATING AMPLITUDE SELECTOR Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: automation and analog computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: device provides operations Y = max(X₁,X₂) end Y = min(X₁,X₂) using one circuit which connects inputs of comparator to inputs of selector gates. Goal of invention is achieved by introduced boolean XOR gate which first input is connected to output of comparator. Its second input serves as control input of device; output is connected to control inputs of gates. When logical zero is supplied to control input, selector outputs maximal signal from two signals which are supplied to information inputs of device; when logical one is supplied to control input, selector outputs minimal signal. EFFECT: increased functional capabilities. 1 dwg
