Although humble in concept, today’s voltage comparators perform a simple basic task: comparing two voltages to determine which is larger. To accomplish this task, they accept two analog signals and ...

Measuring key characteristics of high-speed pulses such as frequency, amplitude, and pulse width for simultaneous pulses that overlap in time has long been an issue in design. To solve that problem, ...

Voltage comparators began appearing in single-chip microcontrollers (MCUs) in the late 1990s. At the time, the change was viewed as a simple cost reduction. Comparators required less silicon, while ...
