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 ...

Traditional digital comparator ICs are electronic analogs of mechanical lever scales. Like their mechanical counterparts, they compare two logical signals and produce an output (typically a voltage ...

In research, test and measurement, and process control, signal conditioning for today's most sensitive analog sensors, detectors, and transducers must provide ultra-low-level input-signal detection, ...
