Testing a set of analog comparators for hysteresis can be a time-consuming process. You have to accurately find the threshold voltages for numerous devices across variations in fabrication process, ...

A common feature in most of the electronic devices we use – cell phones, PDAs, notebooks, handheld media players, game systems, etc. – is the provision for connecting external accessories. Such ...

Comparators are one of the basic building blocks of analog and mixed-signal designs, providing one small but critical function, as their name indicates. Their role is often to be a “simple” safety ...

Given the high levels of single-chip integration in use for analog functions, it may seem that a basic standalone comparator IC is an anachronism. Perhaps that’s the case, but Maxim Integrated doesn’t ...
