Comparators

A comparator is a specialized nonlinear op-amp circuit that compares two input voltages and produces an output state that indicates which one is greater. Comparators are designed to be fast and frequently have other capabilities to optimize the comparison function.

Electronic Devices

Comparators

An example of a comparator application is shown. The circuit detects a power failure in order to take an action to save data. As long as the comparator senses Vin, the output will be a dc level.

Electronic Devices

Comparator with Hysteresis

Sometimes the input signal to a comparator may vary due to noise superimposed on the input. The result can be an unstable output. To avoid this, hysteresis can be used.

Electronic Devices

Comparator with Hysteresis

Sometimes the input signal to a comparator may vary due to noise superimposed on the input. The result can be an unstable output. To avoid this, hysteresis can be used.

Hysteresis is incorporated by adding regenerative (positive) feedback, which creates two switching points: the upper trigger point (UTP) and the lower trigger point (LTP). After one trigger point is crossed, it becomes inactive and the other one becomes active.

Output Bounding

Some applications require a limit to the output of the comparator (such as a digital circuit). The output can be limited by using one or two zener diodes in the feedback circuit.

The circuit shown here is bounded as a positive value equal to the zener breakdown voltage.

Electronic Devices

Comparator Applications

A comparator with hysteresis can produce a pulse with a variable duty cycle. For the circuit shown, Vout(max) ranges from 0 V to +5 V because of the GND and VDD connections on the LM311.

Comparator Applications

A comparator with hysteresis can produce a pulse with a variable duty cycle. For the circuit shown, Vout(max) ranges from 0 V to +5 V because of the GND and VDD connections on the LM311.

The input is the red triangle wave (0 to 4 V). The duty cycle is varied with R2.

With R2 set to 100%, a 50% duty cycle is the result.

By changing the GND ref to -5 V, another useful circuit is formed. The input is a 4 Vp triangle wave (-4 V to +4 V). The output is a square wave that is delayed by an amount that depends on the setting of R2.

Comparator Applications

Simultaneous or flash analog-to-digital converters use 2n-1 comparators to convert an analog input to a digital value for processing. Flash ADCs are a series of comparators, each with a slightly different reference voltage. The priority encoder produces an output equal to the highest value input.

Electronic Devices

Comparator Applications

In IC flash converters, the priority encoder usually includes a latch that holds the converter data constant for a period of time after the conversion.

Scaling Amplifier DAC

An application of a scaling adder is the D/A converter circuit shown here. The resistors are inversely proportional to the binary column weights. Because of the precision required of resistors, the method is useful only for small DACs.

Electronic Devices

R/2R Ladder DAC

A more widely used method for D/A conversion is the R/2R ladder. The gain for D3 is -1. Each successive input has a gain that is half of previous one. The output represents a weighted sum of all of the inputs (similar to the scaling adder).

Electronic Devices

R/2R Ladder DAC

An advantage of the R/2R ladder is that only two values of resistors are required to implement the circuit.

Electronic Devices

The Integrator

The ideal integrator is an inverting amplifier that has a capacitor in the feedback path. The output voltage is proportional to the negative integral (running sum) of the input voltage.

Op-amp integrating circuits must have extremely low dc offset and bias currents, because small errors are equivalent to a dc input. The ideal integrator tends to accumulate these errors, which moves the output toward saturation. The practical integrator overcomes these errors– the simplest method is to add a relatively large feedback resistor.
