Analog comparators are always in the shadow of their more popular cousin, the ubiquitous op amp. Designers can draw on a wealth of application notes for op amps, but not so for comparators. One ...

Positive feedback is a typical technique for distributing hysteresis around a comparator, provided that you have a resistive path between the comparator's output and the noninverting input. Positive ...

Fig 1. The traditional window comparator with a single op amp has interactions between the output and the reference voltage that creates uncertainty in its hysteresis window width. Fig 2. Adding a ...

Today’s dc-dc converters use an enable pin to control the design conditions at which the power supply turns on and off. However, your dc-dc converter may not have this “enable hysteresis” control, or ...
