Dual high-speed op-amp for signal conditioning and video
The AD8042ARZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a dual voltage-feedback operational amplifier in an 8-SOIC package. It delivers a 225V/µs slew rate and 170 MHz -3dB bandwidth, making it a strong candidate for video buffers, ADC drivers, and high-speed active filters where two channels share a common supply rail. The rail-to-rail output stage swings within 50 mV of each supply, preserving dynamic range on low-voltage rails down to 3 V and up to 12 V. Each channel draws 6 mA quiescent supply current, so the total 12 mA load is predictable for thermal budgeting in the 8-SOIC footprint.
225V/µs slew rate — what it means for the signal path
A 225V/µs slew rate supports large-signal bandwidths for video and high-speed ADC driving.
Supply range and output drive
Operates from a single supply between 3 V and 12 V, or dual supplies up to ±6 V. Each output can source or sink 50 mA.
Industrial temperature grade and package
Rated for -40°C to 85°C, this part suits industrial control, test equipment, and outdoor telecom gear that sees temperature swings but not under-hood automotive extremes. The 8-SOIC package (3.90 mm body width) is a standard footprint that fits most PCB layouts without a respin. Surface-mount assembly is straightforward with standard reflow profiles.
