The  circuit 
in 
Figure  5-15 has  two  stable states,  corre- 
and 4.5V  ac.  The Power  Supply 
also 
provides a 
sponding to output high (+5V) and output low (OV). If  the 
center-tapped out-guard  output. 
output  is  high,  the  voltage present 
at 
the non-inverting 
input  of  op  amp 
A 
is approximately +I40 
mV. 
Input  line voltage 
is 
directed to the

Since 
the inputs to op 
amps 
A 
and 
B 
are 
inverted, their 
oxide 
outputs are always in opposite states. If the output of 
A 
is

high, the output of 
B 
is low, forcing the inverting input of 
ply 
to 
reinforcing the existing state. The situation is analogous if 
the  output  of 
A 
is low.

the  existing  state  (raising  the  non-inverting  input 
and 
lowering 
the 
inverting input).  If,  however,  the  output  is 
low to 
start 
with, 
the 
positive pulse (which is greater than 
140 
mV) 
raises the  non-hming input 
of

above  its 
inverting input, switching the output to the 
high 
state. The 
AfD

situation is analogous for 
a 
negative-going input transition. 
AC voltage for the +15V and -15V supplies is
