Greetings,

Just wanted to be 100% clear on something I'm working on: If I'm using a fixed resistor divider as an input for a comparator, can I take several similar inputs from the same point or does each op amp have a loading effect that would shift the bias. I dont imagine I'll be feeding any more than 4 op amps at a time this way.

Unless there is some feedback to the input that is connected to this voltage divider, the input impedance is probably too high to have any measurable effect.

There is a slight potential issue with offset voltages caused by input offset currents through unequal impedances on the inputs, but this would typically be very, very small.
