I have two supplies, V1 and V2. V1 is fix to a certain voltage. V2 is variable and I want to switch the external circuit ON when V2 < V1. For this case I have used OP-AMP as a comparator. But what I want to do next is to put two thresholds (UT and LT; Both positive).

The Output of OP-Amp(or another circuit) should be either +Vsat OR Ground (NOT Negative!).

The signal isn't sinosidal (as shown in figure), It's just to give you an idea how the output should respond to the input signal.

Hi,

You didn´t specify input_voltage range.

I´d use a comparator instead of an OPAMP (Because it is desigend to be a comparator).
And add some hysteresis.

What comparator to use depends on your signal voltages, supply voltages, hystereis circuit and output behaviour.

Input voltage range is 12v. UT=4v; LT=3v2
