A common feature in most of the electronic devices we use – cell phones, PDAs, notebooks, handheld media players, game systems, etc. – is the provision for connecting external accessories. Such ...

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 ...

So, you have selected an MCU with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and analog comparator peripherals for your cost-sensitive application. You then realize that your sensor signal needs to be ...

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 ...
