Op amps provide industry’s lowest input offset voltage

1 min read

STMicroelectronics has introduced two new families of low power operational amplifiers which it claims provide enhanced accuracy and reduced package size.

According to ST, its TSV85x and LMV82x devices aim to upgrade the industry standard (LMV321) in signal conditioning applications across the computer, industrial and medical fields. The company adds that the devices have the industry's smallest size with no penalty in performance. The op amps come with a shut down pin option designed to reduce the device current consumption to zero and, says ST, the A-grade devices in both families feature the industry's lowest input offset voltage values. The TSV85x and LMV82x op amp ICs can operate at 200mV below zero in common mode and they are capable of withstanding up to 6V in absolute maximum rating. The devices are available in single, dual and quad versions. The dual op amp ics in both families are available in 2x2mm DFN8 packages – the industry's smallest for this type of product according to ST.
