Working Principles

The LM311MX compares the voltages applied to its non-inverting (IN+) and inverting (IN-) inputs. When the voltage at IN+ is higher than IN-, the output goes low (logic 0). Conversely, when the voltage at IN- is higher than IN+, the output goes high (logic 1). The LM311MX uses an internal comparator circuit to perform this voltage comparison.
