Hello,
I know the method of testing Comparator Vos from the question above, and the second method is a very creative idea.
But I still have a doubt, that is,how should we test the compared open-loop gain Vol? You know, in general, it's hard to provide the ideal lab conditions to provide an accurate enough input voltage for the open-loop testing of the comparator Aol to observe the moment of change in the output flip, especially when the interference is severe and the Vos is small.
Also, when using the second integrator method mentioned above, changing the output of the DUT will also affect the state of the output duty cycle, so can you introduce any test methods for testing the open-loop gain of the comparator?
Thinks,

Thanks for your post. You appear to be referencing another post that I am not seeing but regardless, open loop gain is really an amplifier spec and is not really relevant to comparators. We actually are not including it on newer devices as it is more of a legacy spec when comparators are derived from amps. Likewise, it is extremely difficult for us to measure reliably, and we essentially need to rely on design simulations. So us trying to share methods for measuring a spec that we are not continuing to support doesn't make much sense. Is there some reason why you are trying to do this? What is your application? Maybe we can assist more on your application and how you are selecting a particular device.
