  2. Comparator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparator

    In most cases a comparator is implemented using a dedicated comparator IC, but op-amps may be used as an alternative. Comparator diagrams and op-amp diagrams use the same symbols. A simple comparator circuit made using an op-amp without feedback simply heavily amplifies the voltage difference between Vin and VREF and outputs the result as Vout.

  3. Digital comparator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_comparator

    A digital comparator or magnitude comparator is a hardware electronic device that takes two numbers as input in binary form and determines whether one number is greater than, less than or equal to the other number.

    Circuit diagram for threshold detector with hysteresis. The threshold detector with hysteresis consists of an operational amplifier and a series of resistors that provide hysteresis. [1]: 5 [2]: 7 [3] Like other detectors, this device functions as a voltage switch, but with an important difference. The state of the detector output is not ...

  5. Analog-to-digital converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter

    The input signal and the DAC both go to a comparator. The comparator controls the counter. The circuit uses negative feedback from the comparator to adjust the counter until the DAC's output matches the input signal and number is read from the counter. Delta converters have very wide ranges and high resolution, but the conversion time is ...

  6. Flash ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_ADC

    Typically designs from 4-bit up to 6-bit and sometimes 7-bit are produced. Designs with power-saving capacitive reference ladders have been demonstrated. In addition to clocking the comparator(s), these systems also sample the reference value on the input stage. As the sampling is done at a very high rate, the leakage of the capacitors is ...

  7. Schmitt trigger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmitt_trigger

    Schmitt trigger implemented by a non-inverting comparator. In this circuit, the two resistors R 1 and R 2 form a parallel voltage summer. It adds a part of the output voltage to the input voltage thus augmenting it during and after switching that occurs when the resulting voltage is near ground.

  8. Window detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_detector

    window detector circuit diagram. A window detector circuit, also called window comparator circuit or dual edge limit detector circuits is used to determine whether an unknown input is between two precise reference threshold voltages. [1] It employs two comparators to detect over-voltage or under-voltage. [2]

  9. Successive-approximation ADC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Successive-approximation_ADC

    A sample-and-hold circuit that acquires the input voltage V in. An analog voltage comparator that compares V in to the output of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). A successive-approximation register that is updated by results of the comparator to provide the DAC with a digital code whose accuracy increases each successive iteration.
