While both operational amplifiers and voltage comparators have been with us since before 1970, the similarities and differences tend to be vague. This discussion will help in understanding this ...

Editor’s note: PhD candidate, Seyyed Hossein Pishgar approached me with this paper, which I believe has some unique and creative circuitry and architectures. I have ...

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...

STMicroelectronics introduced a high-speed voltage comparator with the market's best ratio of current consumption to response time. ST's high-speed voltage comparator addresses applications where fast ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Recently, an engineer asked for a solution to provide high-side monitoring of a 20-A load with an accurate overcurrent ...
