   I had a few follow questions, if you please, regarding the PWM squarer   
   (circuit A):   
      
   - Does this circuit work in quadrant one only? If so, would any slight   
     modification of the circuit allow for handling negative input voltages   
     also?   
      
   - Could you please tell me a little bit more about the low pass filter   
     portion of the circuit? Does that particular configuration have a   
     name?
