Working Principles

The MXL1016IS8 operates as a voltage comparator by comparing the voltages present at its V+ and V- inputs. When the voltage at the V+ input exceeds the voltage at the V- input, the output switches to a high state. Conversely, when the voltage at the V- input is higher, the output switches to a low state. This behavior makes it useful for various applications such as level shifting, window comparators, and waveform shaping.
