The input to this circuit is the output of the integrator (LF356) on the
other page. These comparators will monitor that the integrated error
signal stays within approx. +/- 1 Volt; they will pull down the
ERR_INDICATION signal if that happens. This is an indication that the
main amplifier loop is working outside of its normal bounds (or is not
working at all). This indication is used to activate the protection circuit,
i.e. to shutdown the power supply to the amplifier.
