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.
