6. Op-Amp Applications III - Comparators and Voltage Regulators

Two key applications of operational amplifiers, comparators, and voltage regulators, are explored. Comparators compare two input voltages to produce a corresponding output signal, which is crucial in digital circuits and signal processing. Voltage regulators provide a stable output voltage irrespective of variations in input voltage, essential for reliable operation in electronic devices.
