The first in a family of CMOS voltage comparators, the ALD2321 claims a 50,000:1 improvement in small signal threshold detection when compared to current 200- to 1,000-pW technologies. The device ...

A comparator is an electronic component that outputs different voltage results at the output by comparing the magnitude of the current or voltage at the two inputs. This article describes the ...

BUDGE ING, Maxim Integrated Products Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif. [email protected] Because digital systems often have only a single-polarity power supply, a common problem becomes translating an ...

Sunnyvale, Calif. — Advanced Linear Devices, Inc. announced an ultra-sensitive, high-performance electrically programmable analog device (EPAD) analog voltage comparator. Designated the ALD2321, the ...

There are a number of reasons why an engineer would want to “split” a voltage rail in their design. Sometimes parts of the circuit, like a sensor or an IC, require a bipolar supply. Other reasons are ...

Designing astable circuits using the industry-standard 555 timer is a straightforward process when duty cycles are 50% or greater. However, you must overcome the many pitfalls of low-duty-cycle ...
