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 ...

Toshiba releases a CMOS dual comparator with a high-speed response and a full I/O range for use in overcurrent detection in industrial equipment.

BUDGE ING, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. [email protected] Because digital systems often have only a single-polarity power supply, a common problem becomes translating an ...

Although humble in concept, today’s voltage comparators perform a simple basic task: comparing two voltages to determine which is larger. To accomplish this task, they accept two analog signals and ...

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 ...
