The rail-to-rail output stage allows the amplifier to swing close to the supply rails, preserving dynamic range in low-voltage systems.
8 kHz gain-bandwidth — the bandwidth budget
With a gain-bandwidth product of 8 kHz, this op amp is intended for low-frequency signals — think DC measurement, thermocouple or RTD conditioning, strain-gauge amplifiers, and low-speed comparator functions. It is not suited for audio or control loops above a few kilohertz. The 0.005 V/µs slew rate reinforces the same message: the part trades speed for extreme power economy.
Supply range and input characteristics
The supply span runs from 2.5 V minimum to 10 V maximum, covering single-cell Li-ion through 9 V battery or regulated 5 V and 10 V rails. Input bias current is 0.1 pA, which is FET-input territory — negligible for high-impedance sources like pH probes or photodiode amplifiers. Each output can source or sink 600 µA.
