Comparators have an op-amp front end and a digital back end that operates like a gate. The comparator output stage may be an open collector transistor, so it often connects to the logic supply through ...

Semiconductor developer Touchstone is introducing 13 new second-source, low power, low voltage analog comparators that are drop-in replacements which can be used instead of the original manufacturer’s ...

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 ...

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.
