Abstract
A voltage-comparing device applied in a cursor-control input device is provided. The voltage-comparing device includes an analog-signal converter obtaining an initial reference voltage for the follow-up device in an operational procedure corresponding to an input voltage and a comparing circuit sending a feedback to control the input resistance device, the reference voltage and the offset voltage for preventing the voltage comparing device from the disturbance of noises.
