dead-band/hysteresis, and is then followed with a sufficcient quantity of differential gain stages to ensure it still correctly/properly operates the RS latch.\n\nOne would probably need to rely on CMOS inverter [-pair] (weakened by channel elongation to reduce bandwidth to what the following parts can actually utilize, and to curb power waste in that place, unless a current-starved-inverter style turns out to not break the regenerative core's operating principles) inputs in place of the strong ARM latch's natural nmos-diff-pair, but I doubt you need it to resolve double-hysteresis-flip signals (i.e., twice as much input amplitude as would be required to merely meet the input hysteresis, and where one would thus have a fairly weak but reasonably-above-noise-floor input signal) in
