The LM324B and LM2902B devices are the next-generation versions of the industry-standard operational amplifiers (op amps) LM324 and LM2902, which include four high-voltage (36V) op amps. These devices provide outstanding value for cost-sensitive applications,

with features including low offset (600µV, typical), common-mode input range to ground, and high differential input voltage capability.

The LM324B and LM2902B are unity-gain stable and achieve a low offset voltage maximum of 3mV (2mV maximum for LM324BA and LM2902BA) and quiescent current of 240µA per amplifier (typical). High ESD (2kV HBM and 1.5kV CDM) and integrated EMI and RF filters enable the LM324B and LM2902B devices to be used in the most rugged, environmentally challenging applications.

The LM324B and LM2902B can drop-in replace all versions of the LM224, LM324, and LM2902 devices.

CIRCUIT060074 — High-side current sensing with comparator circuit

This high-side, current sensing solution uses one comparator with a rail-to-rail input common mode range to create an over-current alert (OC-Alert) signal at the comparator output (COMP OUT) if the load current rises above 1 A. The OC-Alert signal in this implementation is active low. So when the (...)
