The recent advent of Analog Devices’ ADCMP60x family of comparators has filled a gap between the less-than-1-µsec-response comparators consuming 100 to 200 mW and those exhibiting approximately 1-µsec ...

The linearity of triangular waveforms makes the triangular-wave generator useful in sweep circuits and test equipment. For example, switched-mode power supplies and induction motor-control circuits ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used in applications ranging from controlling valves or pumps to adjusting the ...

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 ...
