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 ...

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 ...

Discrete comparators are still an essential element in electronic design. These days we often want to have the lowest power one available with “good” specs. We are going to look at a few good choices ...

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 ...
