I had an unpleasant experience about 30 years ago (yeah, before the web existed and you had to use *printed* databooks...) with a comparator because I failed to read the datasheet correctly. I didn't realize it had an open-drain output, and I nearly went berserk trying to figure out why the bloody thing's output never went high. After adding a pullup resistor I got the output to go high, but it wasn't a nice sharp edge. Since my only source for parts at that time was Radio Shack, options were limited.
So I've stuck with opamps ever since. Not the best of excuses, but getting bit once was enough for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
