Working Principles

The MAX933CUA is a voltage comparator that compares the voltages at its IN+ and IN- inputs. It amplifies the voltage difference between these inputs and produces a digital output signal based on the comparison result. The comparator operates by using an internal differential amplifier and a reference voltage. When the voltage at IN+ is higher than the voltage at IN-, the output goes high, and when the voltage at IN- is higher, the output goes low.
