Comparators don't get no respect, or at least they may be underrated and under utilized. The reason may simply be because its more famous sibling, the op amp, usually gets the spotlight. “In large ...

Comparators have an op-amp front end and a digital back end that operates like a gate. The comparator output stage may be an open collector transistor, so it often connects to the logic supply through ...

Used for a wide range of dimensional inspection purposes, optical comparators measure the dimensions and geometry of a sample through a projected image. The mechanical system within the operator ...

A comparator is a great circuit because it provides a near ideal transition between the analog and digital domains. The comparator looks at two linear input signals and gives a digital output that’s ...

STMicroelectronics has designed a pair of rail-to-rail comparators that can be power cycled without dragging down circuits connected to their inputs. Both industrial and AEC-Q100 qualified automotive ...

Simple optics display the part upside down and backwards on the glass screen. Corrected optics display the part right side up and backwards. Fully corrected optics yield an image identical to the part ...
