Comp. stands for various terms. Discover the full forms, meanings, and possible interpretations of Comp. across different fields and industries.
Compass is a digital or analogue display that indicates the direction a vehicle is facing. The magnetic compass is used to obtain the direction of the earth's magnetic field at a point. In its simplest form consists of a magnetised needle pivoted at its centre so that it is free to move in a horizontal plane. OR A compass is a scientific instrument that tells the user the direction of magnetic north.
AviationNASAA comparator is a device that accepts two analog inputs, compares the inputs, and produces a binary output that is a function of which input is higher. If the non-inverting (+) input is greater than the inverting (-) input, then the output goes high. If the inverting (-) input is greater than the non-inverting (+) input, then the output goes low. When described that way, the comparator resembles a 1-bit ADC. A simple comparator can be achieved using an op amp without negative feedback. Its high voltage gain enables it to resolve very small differences in input voltage. But op amps used this way are generally slower than comparators and lack special features, such as hysteresis and internal references.
