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 ...

The comparator is a high-gain amplifier that is used to amplify a small differential signal at its input, and drive the output to one of two output states. Figure 1 shows the basic comparator circuit, ...

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 ...

In 1938, the Journal of Scientific Instruments published details of a comparator circuit that converted a slowly varying input signal into an abrupt change in output voltage. Based on cross-coupled ...

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 ...

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 ...
