D-2240 SYSTEM FOR DETECTING VOLTAGE PULSES OF A PARTICULAR MAGNITUDE Abstract of the Disclosure First circuitry on an integrated circuit chip has an input terminal, preferably the only input terminal, for receiving a voltage pulse introduced to a first terminal on the chip. The first circuitry damps the negative voltage peaks of the voltage pulse at a voltage of a first magnitude inherent in the construction of the first circuitry. A pair of input transistors in the first circuitry have dimensions to provide, at the input terminal to second circuitry, a clamping voltage of a first magnitude at a certain fraction of the power supply voltage. The first circuitry may include a closed loop servo amplifier which regulates the negative peaks of the pulse at the input terminal to the second circuitry to a value approximately equal to the voltage of the first magnitude. The second circuitry compares the negative peaks of the input voltage pulse with a voltage of a second magnitude inherent in the construction of the second circuitry to provide an output logic pulse. A pair of input transistors in the second circuitry have dimensions to provide an internal reference voltage of the second magnitude. Differences between the dimensions of the input transistors in the second circuitry and the first circuitry provide a slight but accurate difference between the voltages of second and first magnitudes. The output pulse may constitute a horizontal sync pulse having amplitude not slightly more negative than the negative peaks of a color burst following it. This pulse provides for a faithful reproduction of color from color information signals following the color burst signals. * * * * * * * * *
