Specified over a wide supply range of 1.8 V to 5.5 V, the low quiescent current of only 1.5 mA per channel makes these devices well-suited for power-sensitive applications.
Resources: Datasheet, block diagram, active filter design application, reference design, TINA-TI spice model, evaluation module

  • Low supply voltage, low noise and RR in and out maximizes dynamic range and signal to noise ratio
  • Low input bias current for high impedance sensor interfaces such Hall effect, piezoelectric and photodiodes
