Working Principles

The TLC372CPW operates as a voltage comparator, comparing the voltages at its non-inverting and inverting inputs. When the voltage at the non-inverting input is higher than the inverting input, the output switches to a high state. Conversely, when the voltage at the inverting input is higher, the output switches to a low state. This behavior makes it useful for various applications such as level detection, window comparators, and oscillators.
