Amplifiers and comparators are semiconductor devices with high precision, low power, and smaller packages designed to monitor, amplify, and control signals within a wide variety of circuits. These devices are comprised of various product ranges that provide robust signal controlling and amplification solutions.
What are amplifiers?
Amplifiers are printed circuit board devices that amplify a signal’s current, voltage, or power, mostly in audio devices. These devices generate amplified and high signals by drawing power from the main power supply while remaining intact with the main supply.
Uses of amplifiers:
Amplifiers comprise various amplifier ICs in multiple consumer products such as musical instruments and microphones. Furthermore, they are also common in process control systems in industrial applications like RF amplifiers.
What are the comparators?
Unlike amplifiers, comparators operate with a slight difference in that they receive two inputs and compare the output with that of the highest input level.
Uses of comparators:
Comparators are designed to transform analogue into digital signals. For example, the conversion of musical records to digital versions. They are also found in lever shifters, zero crossing detectors, and null detectors with various industrial applications.
Amplifiers and comparator types:
These devices are available in various types, such as:
Audio amplifiers are integrated circuits with a complete setup of amplifiers designed to achieve complex amplification goals in miniature equipment.
These amplifiers are designed to process video signals.
Operational amplifiers, or op-amps are comprised of a single output with high gain amplification.
They are also called log amplifiers; they are electronic circuits designed to generate an output proportional to the logarithm of the applied input.
These amplifiers protect the devices from fluctuating voltages that may damage circuit components.
- Instrumentation amplifiers
Instrumentation amplifiers consist of three op-amps designs with buffer amplifiers and are used for testing various instrumentation types.
These are the standard devices designed to identify and compare the larger input signals they receive and give the highest output signals with the highest power.
