Working Principles

The LM211DRG4 operates as a voltage comparator by comparing the voltages at its two input terminals. When the voltage at the non-inverting input (IN(+)) is higher than the voltage at the inverting input (IN(-)), the output (OUT) switches to a high state. Conversely, when the voltage at IN(-) is higher than IN(+), the output switches to a low state. This behavior allows the IC to make decisions based on voltage thresholds.
