PINOUT
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
| 1 | EMIT OUT | Emitter Output – This is the Emitter pin of the output transistor |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (IN+) | The Non-Inverting Pin of the comparator is give a variable voltage to compare |
| 3 | Inverting Input (IN-) | The Inverting pin is also given a fixed voltage which is compared with the (IN+) |
| 4 | Ground (VCC-) | This pin is connected to the ground of the system (Negative voltage can also be used) |
| 5 | Balance | This pin can be used to turn off the DC-offset voltage |
| 6 | Balance/Strobe | This pin can be used to turn off the output stage |
| 7 | COL OUT | Collector Out – This is the Collector output of the transistor |
| 8 | VCC+ | Provide the operating voltage for the Op-Amp. For LM311 it is upto +15V |
