What this dual op-amp brings to the board
The LT1884CN8#PBF is a dual, general-purpose op-amp from the LT® series, packaged in an 8-DIP through-hole body. It delivers rail-to-rail output swing, a 2.2 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and a 1 V/µs slew rate — enough bandwidth for audio-frequency signal chains, sensor buffers, and control-loop conditioning up to a few hundred kHz. Input offset voltage is trimmed to 30 µV, so you can skip external nulling in most precision DC paths. Supply current sits at 850 µA per amplifier, making it a reasonable choice for multi-channel boards where the power budget is tight but not sub-milliamp critical. The part runs on a single supply from 2.7 V up to 36 V, or split supplies, which simplifies rail assignment. Output can source or sink 50 mA per channel — enough to drive a modest headphone, an ADC reference buffer, or a relay coil through a series resistor. The 150 pA input bias current keeps errors low when working with high-impedance sources like photodiode amplifiers or pH probes.
Supply range and single-supply operation
The 2.7 V to 36 V supply span covers common industrial rails without needing a separate regulator. Rail-to-rail output means the signal can swing within millivolts of each rail, preserving dynamic range at low supply voltages.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for 0°C to 70°C, this is a commercial-temperature part. It fits indoor equipment, benchtop instruments, office peripherals, and HVAC control panels.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The LT1884CN8#PBF is listed as Active and RoHS3 compliant. No end-of-life notice has been issued. Through-hole DIP packages remain in steady demand for legacy-support and low-volume production runs, so availability through independent distribution is consistent. We source this part against an RFQ — current pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time, not from a static catalog number.
