Comparator in a sentence

By only strobing a comparator at certain intervals, higher accuracy and lower power can be achieved with a clocked (or dynamic) comparator structure, also called a latched comparator.

Combining the reference and comparator in one chip not only saves space, but also draws less supply current than a comparator with an external reference.

Working A dedicated voltage comparator will generally be faster than a general-purpose operational amplifier pressed into service as a comparator.

I said, ‘That actually sounds as if it’s got legs’, and we talked about it as a comparator – Glasgow’s miles better than it was, it’s miles better than Edinburgh.

Revenue is expected to continue to grow in the second half, albeit at a lower rate than the first half, which included the benefits of higher pass-through activity and a weak 2022 comparator.

As per the paper, boys who received Serum’s Cervavac vaccine could not be compared with the male population receiving Gardasil vaccine as the “comparator quadrivalent HPV vaccine is not licenced in India for boys and men”.

The study showed infrequent and similar viral blips (when study participants experienced a temporary viral load at or above 50 copies/mL) among study participants switching to Biktarvy, as compared to the comparator arm.

A dedicated voltage comparator may also contain additional features such as an accurate, internal voltage reference, an adjustable hysteresis and a clock gated input.

An example is the comparator which takes in a continuous range of voltage but only outputs one of two levels as in a digital circuit.

A special advantage of the ramp-compare system is that comparing a second signal just requires another comparator, and another register to store the voltage value.

But comparator inputs are not usually the same.

Consequently, an op-amp makes a sloppy comparator with propagation delays that can be as long as tens of microseconds.

Continuous versus clocked A continuous comparator will output either a "1" or a "0" any time a high or low signal is applied to its input and will change quickly when the inputs are updated.

Differential input voltage (the voltage between two inputs) of a modern rail-to-rail comparator is usually limited only by the full swing of power supply.

For example, if a microwave radio path fails for half-second intervals, the voting comparator may vote out that receiver site until silence is detected.

He then used a blink comparator to compare the different images.

Hysteresis A comparator normally changes its output state when the voltage between its inputs crosses through approximately zero volts.

If there is a fixed voltage source from, for example, a DC adjustable device in the signal path, a comparator is just the equivalent of a cascade of amplifiers.

In 2008, American entrepreneur and inventor Tim Jenison developed the theory that Vermeer had used a camera obscura along with a "comparator mirror", which is similar in concept to a camera lucida but much simpler, and makes it easy to match color values.

In its simplest form, the quantizer can be realized with a comparator referenced to 0 (two levels quantizer), whose output is 1 or 0 if the input signal is positive or negative.
