Take a look at the most fundamental of Smart Analog devices: the comparator. Learn what it does and where it is often used, in interfacing analog to digital, how it is set to levels. Projects can use ...

There are many comparators that you can buy to provide quick (sub-microsecond) response when a large signal changes and crosses a threshold voltage, such as a reference voltage. Unfortunately, ...

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 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 ...

I missed this earlier this year – TI using a novel package to enclose what it describes as the worlds smallest op-amp. The smallest version is in an 0.8 x 0.8mm X2SON (which I would describe as 800 x ...

This session will explore best practices for sourcing and managing comparator products in clinical trials. It is designed to ...

Simple optics display the part upside down and backwards on the glass screen. Corrected optics display the part right side up and backwards. Fully corrected optics yield an image identical to the part ...
