A buck-boost controller IC with four external switching MOSFETs can operate from input voltages above, below, or equal to the output voltage, enabling them to regulate the light output for a string of ...
ROHM’s low voltage CMOS comparators (BU7251, BU7231, BU7252, and BU7232) integrate input full swing / push-pull output functionality and 1 or 2 circuits on single chip. A low operating voltage range ...
(Editor's Note: There are links to the previous parts of this series at the end, below the author's biography.) Determining if one voltage is greater than or less than another voltage is the job for a ...
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 ...
