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 ...

An ultra low power voltage comparator that is said to consume one third of current for the same response time compared to competing devices has been announced by STMicroelectronics. The new TS33 ...

Claimed to be the industry’s smallest, Maxim‘s MAX906x comparators are available in a 1x1mm four bump package. MAX9060-MAX9064 operate from 0.9 to 5.5V, and draw under 350nA for the single comparator ...

STMicroelectronics has upgraded its 16V CMOS dual and quad analogue comparators. Using the latest process technology, the comparators are said to achieve a lower typical current consumption of 5µA per ...

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 ...

Small button- or coin-cell batteries power many of the portable consumer electronics in use today. Efficiently monitoring the health and state-of-charge (SOC) of these batteries without significantly ...

Given the high levels of single-chip integration in use for analog functions, it may seem that a basic standalone comparator IC is an anachronism. Perhaps that’s the case, but Maxim Integrated doesn’t ...

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 ...

The HEIDENHAIN 4x12 Inspection Master is now available for use in calibrating Optical Comparator system axes. It is especially useful in verifying its X and Y axis position when using the calibration ...
