Edge Detector

 

Description

This component compares its present input to its input from the previous time step. The output is dependent on whether the present input is higher than, the same as, or lower than the previous input.  

 

If the input changes in steps, this translates to an edge detection mechanism. If the input is continuous, this translates to a slope detector.
