It appears that both comparators need to trip at the exact same point for proper operation of the circuit. But, in practice, they will not due to differences in their offset voltage.
To resolve this you could use U2 as just an inverter by connecting the negative input of U2 to the output of U3 and adding a resistive divider to set the threshold of the positive input of U2 at about 0.3V.
Or am I misunderstanding the circuit operation?![]()
hi carl,
The circuit is designed to give the user a wide range and easy setting of the High and Low thresholds.
IIRC you use LTspice, attached the asc file, try it out.
BTW: its a useful circuit for auto battery chargers.
