NONINVERTING HYSTERESIS: the hysteresis approaches VTH = VCC and VTL = 0 V. At frequencies
VREF VTH = ((R1 + R2)*VREF – (R1*VOL))/R2
VEE VTL = ((R1 + R2)*VREF – (R1*VOH))/R2 less than f(p), the threshold voltages remain as shown in the
HYST = V TH – V TL equations.
HYST = R1*(VOH – VOL)/R2
For comparators having complementary (Q and Q) outputs,
