Several years ago we were developing a clamp-on photometer, a hand-held instrument that could be clamped onto a communications optical fiber to indicate the presence of light, its direction of travel, ...

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

Given the high levels of single-chip integration in use for analog functions, it may seem that a basic standalone comparator IC is an anachronism. Perhaps that’s the case, but Maxim Integrated doesn’t ...

The combination of drive capability for 50 ohm terminated transmission lines and complementary ECL output logic make these comparators ideal for a variety of high-speed applications in the ...

STMicroelectronics has designed a pair of rail-to-rail comparators that can be power cycled without dragging down circuits connected to their inputs. Both industrial and AEC-Q100 qualified automotive ...

Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the MAX2016, aimed at measuring VSWR, gain, and power up to 2.5GHz. The SiGe chip can be configured as a simple RF-power detector and comparator, or as a ...
