D demeanor New Member Feb 6, 2013 #1 hi, can anyone tell me how to measure the output sink current of a comparator? thanks...
Joe G Member Feb 6, 2013 #2 the max sink and source currents of the outputs will be listed in the data sheets for that device.
D demeanor New Member Feb 6, 2013 #3 yes, it is included on the data sheet however i am after the test set-up? its more of knowing how it is tested.. with that, i can check if varying the supply voltage will have an effect on the value of the output sink current..
