A comparator is an electronic component that outputs different voltage results at the output by comparing the magnitude of the current or voltage at the two inputs. This article describes the ...

A simple to use window comparator can make short work of integrator, antiwindup, and reset circuits. Control systems that incorporate an integrator stage need some form of integrator reset or ...

Comparators have an op-amp front end and a digital back end that operates like a gate. The comparator output stage may be an open collector transistor, so it often connects to the logic supply through ...

In VLSI applications, area, delay and power are the important factors which must be taken into account in the design of a fast adder. The paper attempts to examine the features of certain adder ...

The following automatic battery-charger design is created with a circuit that could qualify as the simplest window comparator ever built around a single transistor (see the figure). It starts charging ...

This application note describes comparator features and specifications as well as the differences between comparators and op amps. It also includes circuits that combine comparators and an internal ...
