Analog comparators are always in the shadow of their more popular cousin, the ubiquitous op amp. Designers can draw on a wealth of application notes for op amps, but not so for comparators. One ...

Fig 1. The traditional window comparator with a single op amp has interactions between the output and the reference voltage that creates uncertainty in its hysteresis window width. Fig 2. Adding a ...

Testing a set of analog comparators for hysteresis can be a time-consuming process. You have to accurately find the threshold voltages for numerous devices across variations in fabrication process, ...

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 ...
