Traditional digital comparator ICs are electronic analogs of mechanical lever scales. Like their mechanical counterparts, they compare two logical signals and produce an output (typically a voltage ...

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 ...

Fig 1. The traditional window comparator with a single op amp has interactions between the output and the reference voltage that creates uncertainty in its hysteresis window width. Fig 2. Adding a ...

The latest episode “Made in the USA” podcast explores a company that uses collaborative robots, one of the key tools helping US machine shops and other manufacturers compete with lower cost countries ...

Testing a set of analog comparators for hysteresis can be a time-consuming process. You have to accurately find the threshold voltages for numerous devices across variations in fabrication process, ...
