You think of op amps as amplifiers because, no kidding, it is right in the name. But just like some people say, “you could do that with a 555,” [Doctor Volt] might say, “you can d… ...

Build this if you’re interested in taking an op-amp out of its normal sphere, or if you’re interested in the workings of a buck converter.

The very basics of operational amplifiers. Learn comparator, inverting, and non-inverting op-amp configurations. An operational amplifier, or op amp, is a dc-coupled high-gain electronic voltage ...

It requires more insights on important Op-amp parameters to match the Comparator Performances with Op-Amps. This article will provide the details of the impact of Op-Amp, which is used as a comparator ...

There are many articles about non-linear op amps being used as a comparator, but IC vendors caution against this design approach.

How do you get the input of an op-amp to work below the negative-most supply rail?, I asked. Now I know – thanks to the patience of ADI field application engineer Andreas Koch. It was not just any ...

What a neat package for op-amps and comparators I missed this earlier this year – TI using a novel package to enclose what it describes as the worlds smallest op-amp. The smallest version is in an 0.8 ...

However, the outputs of most op-amps swing fairly close to V+ and V-. Comparators are open-loop systems, able to drive logic circuits, and are fast regardless of whether they are overdriven. In ...

Texas Instruments introduced a small op amp and low-power comparators at 0.64 mm². As the first amplifiers in the compact X2SON package, the TLV9061 op amp and TLV7011 family of comparators enable ...

Sponsored by: Texas Instruments. Generally speaking, an op amp doesn’t make for a good comparator. To achieve optimal performance and avoid additional debugging, an IC comparator ...
