Voltage comparators began appearing in single-chip microcontrollers (MCUs) in the late 1990s. At the time, the change was viewed as a simple cost reduction. Comparators required less silicon, while ...

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 ...

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 ...

Positive feedback is a typical technique for distributing hysteresis around a comparator, provided that you have a resistive path between the comparator's output and the noninverting input. Positive ...

STMicroelectronics introduced a general-purpose voltage comparator that consumes one third the current for the same response time, compared with currently available devices such as the LMV331.

An ultra low power voltage comparator that is said to consume one third of current for the same response time compared to competing devices has been announced by STMicroelectronics. The new TS33 ...

The dual (TS9002) and quad (TS9004) devices can operate from single 2.5 to 11V supplies or from ±1.25 to ±5V dual supplies. Other features include an input voltage range from the negative supply rail ...

028TSMC_COMP_01 is a comparator that compares a reference voltage to an analog input voltage and contains 8 input channels with a programmable thresho ...

Nerd Ralph loves cheap and dirty hacks, and for that we applaud him. His latest endeavor is a LiFePO4 battery charger that he made out of parts he had on hand for under $0.50 US. (Although we think he ...

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: STMicroelectronics has launched a general-purpose voltage comparator. It consumes one third the current for the same response time, compared with currently available devices such ...
