Comparator as a A/D converter
Parallel comparators are used to compare
the linear input signal with various reference
voltage developed by voltage divider.

Op-AMP Differentiator
A circuit in which the output voltage waveform is the
differentiation of input voltage is called differentiator

The input signal will be differentiated properly if
the time period T of the input signal is larger
than or equal to Rf C
As the frequency changes, the gain changes. Also at higher frequencies the
circuit is highly susceptible at high frequency noise and noise gets amplified.
Both the high frequency noise and problem can be corrected by adding, few
components.

Op-AMP Differentiator
At higher frequencies, signal will be buried inside the noise because noise
contains all the frequencies from low to high and high frequency noise will be
more amplified at the output compare to the signal.
To avoid this we use a extra resistor and capacitor in series to reduce the
strength of noise signal.

At high frequencies: ω is large, voltage gain ≈ 1
At low frequencies: ω is small, voltage gain → 0

Op-AMP Integrator
A circuit in which the output voltage waveform is the integral of the input
voltage waveform is called integrator.

Active Filter Circuits
Combining an op-amp with suitable resistors and capacitors can produce
a range of filter characteristics. These are termed active filters
