My caller last week was in a real bind. The design was almost done and he had run out of room. He needed help. The system needed a comparator function and the circuit board was full. After going over ...

So, you have selected an MCU with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and analog comparator peripherals for your cost-sensitive application. You then realize that your sensor signal needs to be... So ...

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 ...

Q. Why buy an expensive comparator when an op amp is just as good? A. Because it isn't. My advice to anyone tempted to use an operational amplifier (op amp) as a comparator is the same as Mr. Punch's ...

The operational amplifier is arguably the most useful single device in analog electronic circuitry. When you apply them in the circuits, you must know their basics and functions. As for the function ...
