What this differential amplifier is built for
The amplifier type is differential, not a general-purpose op-amp, so its input stage is optimized to reject common-mode noise on a shunt or sensor line while amplifying the small differential signal. With a gain bandwidth product of 70 kHz and a slew rate of 1 V/µs, it is sized for low-frequency signal conditioning — think DC current sensing via a shunt resistor, battery voltage monitoring, or a thermistor bridge — not for audio or high-speed data acquisition.
Supply and input specs — what they mean for your rail
Supply span is 4.5 V minimum, 5.5 V maximum. Input offset voltage is 2 mV typical, input bias current is 50 nA, and supply current is 1.6 mA.
