The preceding discussion highlighted several significant error sources that affect the basic comparator with external hysteresis. For some comparator applications ...

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 ...

Touchstone Semiconductor has announced two new low power analogue comparators. The dual (TS9002) and quad (TS9004) devices can operate from single 2.5 to 11V supplies or from ±1.25 to ±5V dual ...

Comparators are one of the basic building blocks of analog and mixed-signal designs, providing one small but critical function, as their name indicates. Their role is often to be a “simple” safety ...

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 ...

Starrett will be debuting a lineup of new solutions, including its HDV 250 digital comparator system, new electronic height gages, a new thread gaging line, and a new digital ...
