My textbook says that the output of comparators can be "wire ORed".

What does wire OReding an output mean?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Connect the two wires together.
If there is a signal on either of them the re wi be a signal when they are joined - it requires having outputs that aren't effected by you forcing them high
 
sorry i forgot to mention that the above sentence was in respect to uA311 precision comparator.
 
Not sure if this is clear to the OP. They are referring to the logical OR function. Some may prefer to write it slightly differently, as wire OR'ed, instead.
