When choosing an OTA integrator, it's essential to understand the specific integration needs, such as the type of signal and the application, like a dual slope ADC. Traditional solutions, like the Miller Integrator, are often recommended due to their effectiveness in handling varying input levels. OTAs are generally not available as standalone components and are more commonly found as internal parts of integrated circuits. While OTAs can theoretically simplify integrator designs, they struggle with driving resistive loads, making operational amplifiers a more practical choice. Ultimately, selecting the right integrator depends on the application requirements and the limitations of the components.
