The comparator is a high-gain amplifier that is used to amplify a small differential signal at its input, and drive the output to one of two output states. Figure 1 shows the basic comparator circuit, ...

A common feature in most of the electronic devices we use – cell phones, PDAs, notebooks, handheld media players, game systems, etc. – is the provision for connecting external accessories. Such ...

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 ...

STMicroelectronics has completed its portfolio of comparators in space saving packages, by introducing the LMV331 in a choice of 2 x 1.25mm SC70 or 2.9 x 1.6mm SOT23 form factors. Battery powered ...

The dual (TS9002) and quad (TS9004) devices can operate from single 2.5 to 11V supplies or from ±1.25 to ±5V dual supplies. Other features include an input voltage range from the negative supply rail ...

Given the high levels of single-chip integration in use for analog functions, it may seem that a basic standalone comparator IC is an anachronism. Perhaps that’s the case, but Maxim Integrated doesn’t ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry’s leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking MAX4002x comparators ...
