slice :
An analog continuous-time comparator (slicer).

The slice primitive continuously compares the difference between the two inputs in–in_ref with a user-defined threshold and produces an xbit-type output out. The primitive is equivalent to a continuous-time 1-bit analog-to-digital converter.

The output value is set to 1 when the input difference is higher than the threshold level and set to 0 otherwise. The threshold level is defined by the threshold parameter.

NOTE: this primitive adds a unit timestep delay from its input to output for synchronization.
