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, ...
Claimed to be the industry’s smallest, Maxim‘s MAX906x comparators are available in a 1x1mm four bump package. MAX9060-MAX9064 operate from 0.9 to 5.5V, and draw under 350nA for the single comparator ...
Analysis of this circuit is simplified by the fact that the output has only two states: V out low (Vol) or V out hi (Voh). In this circuit, Voh is equal to the positive supply voltage and Vol is ...
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 ...
This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A colleague asked for the measured jitter number on a single-supply comparator design based on the LM359 IC. 1 He ...
