Is it even supposed to go to full +Vdd? My Vdd is at 9v but my output goes to 0.34 volts when the noninverting input is greater than the inverting. Thanks

See the diagram below . have a collector resistance and connect to Vcc and the output can be measurable at output pin thereafter. Attachments lm339 one sec sch.PNG 32.2 KB · Views: 72
