STMicroelectronics has designed a pair of rail-to-rail comparators that can be power cycled without dragging down circuits connected to their inputs. Both industrial and AEC-Q100 qualified automotive ...

An ultra low power voltage comparator that is said to consume one third of current for the same response time compared to competing devices has been announced by STMicroelectronics. The new TS33 ...

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 ...

Claimed to be the industry’s smallest, Maxim‘s MAX906x comparators are available in a 1x1mm four bump package. MAX9060-MAX9064 operate from 0.9 to 5.5V, and draw under 350nA for the single comparator ...

The bistable load switch is made on two comparators. The load is switched on and off sequentially by applying a voltage of two different levels to the input of the device. Earlier in [1], a new class ...

STMicroelectronics has completed its portfolio of comparators in space saving packages, by introducing the LMV331 in a choice of 2 x 1.25mm SC70 or 2.9 x 1.6mm SOT23 form factors. Battery powered ...

Another application of auto-zeroing comparators is in the main control loop of a PWM system. The comparator in this application looks at the difference between a ...

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 ...
