Test technique quantifies jitter of discrete-comparator design
A colleague asked for the measured jitter number on a single-supply comparator design based on the LM359 IC (Ref. 1). He wanted to know how the jitter performance of the discrete comparator compared to an IC comparator,...

Discrete Devices, ICs Improve Inverting Charge-Pump Design
By combining charge-pump ICs with additional discrete components, this inverting design produces a negative output from a positive one with lower ripple and output impedance. An inverting charge pump takes a positive...
