Abstract :
An analog circuit for comparing and sorting two input voltages is described. Using the circuit as a basic unit, a four-input sorter is designed. A technique to determine which of the four inputs corresponds to (address of the input of) a given output is also presented. The procedure can be extended to design an n-input sorter
