Although humble in concept, today’s voltage comparators perform a simple basic task: comparing two voltages to determine which is larger. To accomplish this task, they accept two analog signals and ...

My last column (“Designing with comparators,” EDN, March 29, 2001, pg 56) discussed basic comparator theory, and this column adds hysteresis to comparators to eliminate multiple switching on the ...

A comparator is a great circuit because it provides a near ideal transition between the analog and digital domains. The comparator looks at two linear input signals and gives a digital output that’s ...

A new computing era arrives with the breakthrough in how computers can sort information. This vital function, at the heart of everything from searches on the internet to artificial intelligence, has ...

STMicroelectronics has designed a pair of rail-to-rail comparators that can be power cycled without dragging down circuits connected to their inputs. Both industrial and AEC-Q100 qualified automotive ...

Simple optics display the part upside down and backwards on the glass screen. Corrected optics display the part right side up and backwards. Fully corrected optics yield an image identical to the part ...
