Comparator with Variable Hysteresis Circuit Diagram

This is a simple Comparator with Variable Hysteresis Circuit Diagram.Variable Hysteresis  is a Band Current Controller for Power. An operational amplifier can be used as a convenient device for analog comparator applications that require two different trip points. 

 Comparator with Variable Hysteresis Circuit Diagram

 The addition of a positiver feedback network introduces a precise variable hysteresis into the usual comparator switching action. Such feedback develops two comparator trip points centered about the initial trip point or reference point The voltage difference, AV, between the trip points can be adjusted by varying resistor R2. When the output voltage is taken from the zener diode, as shown, it switches between zero and Vz, the zener voltage.
