Very good Comparator explanation. correction; This is the BEST ! comparator explanation I have seen so far on RUclips. The news networks really should observe how public speaking is done properly. Very well Done ! Looking forward to more EEforEveryone content.
I've seen many comparator circuits without hysteresis. Now I only recommend comparators with built in hysteresis lol. MCP6541 FTW =) (6mV?). OR'ing comparators is another great tool. Very information dense, but a very worthwhile topic! I was taught much larger hysteresis voltages, rather than the small-ish voltages required for stability over temp, small sensor fluctuations, input bias etc. All the theory is the same. Just another tool in the toolbox =)
Hi No Corporation! Yeah, I think we really packed the Info into this one. :) Built-In Hysteresis certainly makes it easier to remember to add some! LOL. I'm glad you liked the video and liked some of our broader points. Hopefully it saves a few folks the trouble of... not having any hysteresis. Cheers, and thanks for watching!
Good video, although I struggled quite a bit to follow along. It would be immensely helpful if you drew out the circuit and then ran through the equations by hand on paper (or digital equivalent), showing where each resistor in the circuit is and perhaps speaking a touch slower. I'm working on building a similar circuit, and it seems everything I need is in this video, I'm just struggling to parse it.
Hello JGuy! Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate the constructive feedback. It's awesome to know that you're trying to learn from our video, and it's a shame that you're finding it frustrating. I'll make a point to revisit comparators as a topic of discussion (and try to slow things down) :) I'm curious: Where are you getting stuck? Hysteresis? Setting the threshold? How comparators work in general?
Don't be hysterical, get hysteresis! AWESOME joke 🤦🏻♂️ LoL (making fun of my own bad joke, nothing in the video for those that comment before watching videos LOL) --- Anyway it's great because I've had applications where all I needed was hysteresis and others where I just use window comparator and vise-versa (and so one with all types of combinations in between) -- intentionally vague btw, but I digress 😊 Also, great video!!!
@@EEforEveryone haha, I am glad! Yeah you have some great content on here for sure! Also, it's been awhile since I've TRULY dove into using op amps (I use them a lot, but I'm more referring to the level of working with them to where I can set up circuit types and do the calculations without having to look up schematics and/or modify designs thatare incorrect or I wanna modify for my purposes (LOT of REALLY smart people put there and some of the best knowledge is usually in older books, etc.) -- but yeah, I wanna be able to only look at the data sheets for specifications when trying to improve an area of knowledge in circuit design - I love building mechanical things as well as electrical and a combination of both - I've always worked on my own (and others) guitars, amps, building things from scratch, biomedical devices, etc..I have chips galore so it's rewarding as hell when you teach somebody something and they get it or vice versa :-) I somewhat agree with the teaching method where certain things are in a black box so to speak, you know how to use them not what's inside them, but it in the same breath I get to (or get BACK TO) where I know what's inside things so I can understand them in and out because it makes things more and more intuitive - it's all about making those conscious things subconscious so you can keep building your knowledge! I also should have stated that working on guitars and stuff is fine but I'm a bigger fan of literally EVERY area of electronics, the less I understand in a certain area, the more I want to stress myself out and learn it, it's rewarding as hell :-) Anyways, sorry for babbling so much I'm tired as hell, but I wanted to respond to this -- probably should have waited LMFAO 😂 Love with Channel! Take care!
That's Awesome! I love your passion to learn - and drive to constantly push yourself. I don't mind the rambling, thank you for sharing!!! The "Black Box" view can be helpful, but also dangerous if one has no idea what's inside the box. :) I agree: the big picture view and detail view are both important! I hope you got some rest, and that you and yours are all doing well!
@@EEforEveryone yeah it's hard to find people, in person lol, that are really passionate about learning and doing stuff like this or similar - especially people that are long-term passionate as well as open-minded so for example, someone wanted to build networking stuff in another person wanted to build stuff to oh, let's just say built speedometers for model cars or something random or something for astronomy. Finding those that go, hell yeah let's work on that other thing I have it done before and vice versa. It really opens the locked door for inspiration
One of the first things we learned at Uni (as an EE anyway) was start with as simple for a model as you can and then built on it till you got the specs you need like does it matter that you signal is offset by 10mV when the signal is 5V, not really but it is a hard thing to learn not make everything "perceft" good video hysteresis is a super useful tool both in hardware and software
Hello Anders, That is great practical advise. Nothing is every perfect.. and it's easy to get caught up in trying. Thank you for the praise, and cheers!

Thank you JD, that's some high praise. I'm glad you enjoyed, and Thank you for watching!

Ha! Yes, DME - I like your joke. Indeed. A comparator setup for every occasion. Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed our video!
