Comparator
Comparators compare two voltages and indicate which is larger.
They are commercially available as integrated circuits.
Thereby comparators can be
distinguished by their field of application...
-
Individual comparators
for general applications (eg. LM311),
-
Comparators with extremely short switching times
(eg. NE521),
-
Integrated circuits with multiple comparators
(eg. 2-fold LM393, 4-fold LM339),
-
Specialized integrated circuits
(eg. display driver LM3914, LM3915).
In the experiments, you use the following comparators...
