A VOLTAGE COMPARATOR CIRCUIT CONSISTING OF, IN COMBINATION: A FIRST AND A SECOND ASYMMETRICAL CONDUCTING DEVICE HAVING LIKE ELECTRODE TERMINAS CONNECTED AT A COMMON JUNCTION SOURCE OF CONSTANT CURRENT; A SOURCE OF SIGNAL VOLTAGE CONNECTED TO THE UNLIKE ELECTRODE TERMINAL OF THE FIRST OF SAID DEVICES; A SENSING AMPLIFIER CONNECTED TO THE UNLIKE TERMINAL OF THE SECOND OF SAID DEVICES SAID SENSING AMPLIFIER HAVING A D.C. REFERENCE VOLTAGE SOURCE COUPLED TO THE CONTROL TERMINAL THEREOF; A BI-STABLE CIRCUIT CONNECTED TO SAID SENSING AMPLIFIER ADAPTED TO GIVE ONE OUTPUT INDICATION WHEN SAID SOURCE OF SIGNAL VOLTAGE GOES BELOW SAID REFERENCE VOLTAGE AND ANOTHER WHEN SAID SOURCE OF SIGNAL VOLTAGE RISES ABOVE SAID REFERENCE VOLTAGE.
