A comparator is an electronic component that outputs different voltage results at the output by comparing the magnitude of the current or voltage at the two inputs. This article describes the ...

A custom comparator IC that has fast response time and hysteresis protects a car's engine control unit from failures on monitored peripherals that create high current conditions. In most modern cars, ...

In 1938, the Journal of Scientific Instruments published details of a comparator circuit that converted a slowly varying input signal into an abrupt change in output voltage. Based on cross-coupled ...

One of the most common reasons to measure current in today’s automotive systems is to detect fault conditions and respond to them quickly. I touched on this topic previously in Signal Chain Basics ...
