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 ...

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 ...

Schemes of alternating current comparators with an adjustable switching threshold are presented, which allow using color-dynamic indication to control the above- and sub-threshold values of ...

Thyristors are a semiconductor device with an S-shaped current-voltage characteristic. They are a kind of managed keys with a state memory that are turned on when a control signal is applied to the ...

A comparator is an electronic component that outputs different voltage results at the output by comparing the magnitude of the current or voltage at the two inputs. This article describes the ...
