1. Here’s an op amp connected as an inverter (a), and its input-output transfer curve (b). One way to look at the operation of a comparator is to examine the basic op-amp configuration shown in ...

Indeed, IC op-amp performance continues to rise dramatically, to hundreds of megahertz and over a gigahertz, as exemplified by the Maxim SiGe 400-MHz to 2.5-GHz MAX 2640/2641 ultra-low-noise op ...

The LTC1541 combines a micropower amplifier, comparator and 1.2V reference in an 8-pin package. The part operates from a single 2.5V to 12.6V supply with typical supply current of 5µA. Both op amp and ...

The TS12011 and TS12012 are 1.2 μ W op amp, comparator and voltage reference in one IC. Providing 10x reduction in power consumption and operation to 0.65V delivers always on, single cell operation.

The First IC Op-amp. The Fairchild μA702 was the first integrated circuit op-amp, a then-revolutionary component designed by Bob Widlar and first brought to market in 1964.

The op amp operates from a 1.8-V to 5.5-V single power supply and features rail-to-rail input and output swings to maximize ADC (analog-to-digital converter) dynamic input range. Recommended Articles.
