Reliable, Cost-Effective Solutions for Your Applications 


Our general-purpose op amp portfolio offers op amps with bandwidths ranging from 9 kHz to 80 MHz to address a wide variety of applications. Many of the general-purpose op amp families are automotive AEC-Q100 qualified. Some of the features of these op amps include:

  • Longer battery runtime with operating voltage as low as 1.4V and quiescent current as low as 450 nA
  • Fast start-up time in microsecond range, which allows flexibility in a system’s power budgeting
  • Additional electromagnetic filtering on select devices to provide extra protection in electrically harsh environments

How Do I Eliminate “Flicker Noise” in My Amplifier Design? 

While there are many different sources of noise within an operational amplifier, perhaps the most mysterious and frustrating noise source is what is known as flicker noise. How does one deal with this dominating, low frequency noise? If 1/f noise is a big concern, then selecting a zero-drift amplifier is the best solution.
