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 ...

How do isolated comparators differ from standard comparators? What are their primary applications in analog and power electronics? Here is a brief review of this critical building block and what ...

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 ...

Inspecting with Optical Comparators provides an overview of the optical comparator, which uses optics to project an enlarged, two-dimensional shadow of a part onto a glass screen for measurement of ...
