Because digital systems often have only a single-polarity power supply, a common problem becomes translating an opposite-polarity pulse train into a positive-or negative-pulse output. Here are some ...
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 ...
Editor’s note: PhD candidate, Seyyed Hossein Pishgar approached me with this paper, which I believe has some unique and creative circuitry and architectures. I have ...
028TSMC_COMP_01 is a comparator that compares a reference voltage to an analog input voltage and contains 8 input channels with a programmable thresho ...
Editor’s note: This article is based upon a 2006 EDN article by Jim Williams; see Reference 1. There are six different types of FETs, but of the two major categories of FETs, enhancement mode devices ...
