Claim 13:
14. A method of evaluating input signals in a comparator for use in neuromorphic computer processing, the method comprising:
transducing the input signals to input voltage signals;
establishing an amplifier stage to include:
a first amplifier circuit having:
a first differential amplifier having a first voltage output and a second voltage output; and,
a first transmission gate coupled to the first voltage output and the second voltage output; and,

a second amplifier circuit having:
a second differential amplifier; and,
a second transmission gate coupled to the second differential amplifier and an output stage; and,

executing the amplifier stage responsive to the input voltage signals with the second transmission gate remaining closed whenever the first transmission gate is open.
