Sunnyvale, Calif. — Advanced Linear Devices Inc. added two quad voltage comparators to its precision monolithic high performance line that are said to provide a 0.24-amp output drive. The input ...

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 ...

Today’s industrial equipment uses large currents in motor drives and power circuits. This brings with it the risk of sudden overcurrent, which can damage equipment, shut down production line, and even ...

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 ...

Comparators are great at turning little signals into large digital outputs. In the example described here, a friend wanted to detect the presence of a small 60-Hz ac signal centered on 2.5 V dc. When ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a CMOS dual comparator, "TC75W71FU." It features a high-speed response and a full input/output range (Rail to Rail), suiting ...
