Lord Thathidge Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 Hi peeps. :)I am prsently studying a music technology degree course in Stafford, England and one of my study modules is basic electronics.I have been scouring the internet for helpful sites but can find nothing to help me with details such as 'what does a comparator do?', what types of instruments are they used in and why etc etc.Can anybody point me in the right direction?

honkir Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 ;D.... Surprisingly, a comparator compares voltage between two points. It is mostly realized by an operational amplifier because of its high amplifying coefficient (10^4 and more). As a result of this, when the voltage of inverting input of the amplifier is higher, the voltage on output is -supply voltage. Otherwise +supply voltage. But be carefull of the connection! (sorry for my english :P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALI_KALELA Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 This will take alot of space and time If we try to explain the electronic basics.Check the below sites. They are great sites where you can learn basic Electronics.http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/g_knott/index21.htmhttp://www.proaxis.com/~iguanalabs/Begtut.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I do not have a problem explaining how electronics work or attaching a document to help explain. We all have questions at some time. After all, this IS an electronics site. That is what is so great about this community. ;D I have attached an excellent short tutorial on comparators. Hope this helps.MP Analog_Comparators.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 Check out the working of Op-Amps or IC 741It will help a lot. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Weddle Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 There are two types of comparators. A voltage difference exists and the output goes either high or low depending on the polarity. The second comparator is a digital device. It compares two digital sequences that are weighted and outputs either a greater than, a less than, or an equal to. I think this is how it goes.
