Another application of auto-zeroing comparators is in the main control loop of a PWM system. The comparator in this application looks at the difference between a ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. A colleague asked for the measured jitter number on a single-supply comparator design based on the LM359 IC. 1 He ...

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 ...

Low-power high-speed CMOS comparators and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) play a pivotal role in modern electronics, from data-intensive computing systems to precision biomedical instrumentation.

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...

Comparators are subject to input offset errors that can be either systematic or layout related. Two applications of comparators in a PWM controller are detecting when there is no current in the ...
