The window discriminator compares an input voltage to a defined voltage window. The
digital outputs show whether the input voltage is below, within or above this window.
The TCA 965 B window discriminator is especially suitable as a tracking or
compensating controller with a dead band in control engineering and for the selection of
DC voltages within a certain tolerance of the required setpoint value in measurement
engineering. When it is used as a Schmitt trigger, switching frequencies up to a typical
value of 50 kHz are possible.

Functional Description
Amplifier Amp 3 increases the voltage of the reference source
R
to
V
Stab
= 2 x
V
REF
. The
amplification factor can be altered by external wiring. With direct setting of the window,
the input voltage appears on amplifier Amp 1 (
V
8
), the upper edge voltage on
comparator K2 (
V
6
) and the lower edge voltage on comparator K1 (
V
7
).
With indirect setting of the window, the input voltage appears on inputs
V
6
and
V
7
, while
the center voltage is connected to amplifier A1 (
V
8
).
The voltage applied to the input (
V
9
) of amplifier Amp 2 is subtracted symmetrically from
the output voltage of amplifier Amp 1 and added. The comparators switch with
hysteresis. The logic gates have open-collector outputs.
If the inhibit input A or B is connected to ground, output A or B will always be high.
