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, ...

Although humble in concept, today’s voltage comparators perform a simple basic task: comparing two voltages to determine which is larger. To accomplish this task, they accept two analog signals and ...

1. A conventional circuit uses a diode after the comparator to rectify the output onto C3. The circuit uses an LT1716 comparator. R2/R3 set up a 10-mV threshold to keep the output normally high, and ...

Digital comparison is considered an important method used in digital systems while executing arithmetic or logical operations. It’s designed to compare the relative magnitudes of binary numbers. This ...
