Comparators are essentially a special form of the operational amplifier. In the course of their development they were optimized for speed, power consumption and performance at its output.

Therefore, you find a variety of integrated circuits for different applications with comparators...

• Single comparator,
• Window comparator,
• Schmitt trigger,
• Display driver,
• Analog-to-digital converter, and many more...

In this first part you get to know in 12 experiments the functions and characteristics of the comparator. All important properties of a single comparator are discussed.

The second part (Go on...) describes in another 10 experiments applications of the comparator. For this purpose usually several comparators are combined...

Let's go...and have fun...
