7400 competition entry: Analog comparator

Joseph built an analog comparator for the Open 7400 Logic competition.

Using two NAND 3-input gates and a D-type flip-flop, he build a clocked analog comparator. After reviewing the internal composition of a CMOS NAND 3 gate he noticed that two of them connected in the right way make up a comparator. To make his own version he used a D-type flip-flop to save the output value from the gate before it resets on the next cycle. Schematic, as well as some logic gate theory, is available on his site.
