Learn more about two common integrated circuits—operational amplifiers and comparators—and explore the possible pitfalls of using an operational amplifier as a comparator.
Zero-Drift Amplifiers: Taking the Good With the Bad
The use of zero-drift amplifiers continues to grow due to the superior DC precision that these devices offer. However, there is a downside to this performance—time domain limitations.
How Do I Eliminate Flicker Noise in My Amplifier Design?
While there are many different sources of noise within an operational amplifier, perhaps the most mysterious and frustrating noise source is what is known as flicker noise. How does one deal with this dominating, low-frequency noise? If 1/f noise is a big concern, then selecting a zero-drift amplifier is the best solution.
Understanding the Function of Analog-to-Digital (ADC) Drivers
