What this dual op-amp brings to the board
The Maxim Integrated MAX4168EUB+T is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier in a 10-pin uMAX/uSOP package. It delivers a 5 MHz gain-bandwidth product and a 2V/µs slew rate, with rail-to-rail output swing that lets it drive close to the supply rails without clipping. Each channel can source or sink 125 mA, enough to drive headphones, relay coils, or multiple ADC inputs directly. Supply range spans 2.7 V to 6.5 V, so it runs on a single 3.3 V or 5 V rail without a negative supply.
Supply voltage and temperature — where it fits
Operating from 2.7 V to 6.5 V, this part works on 3.3 V and 5 V rails common in industrial control, sensor interfaces, and battery-powered equipment. The -40°C to 85°C temperature range covers indoor and outdoor industrial environments but stops short of automotive under-hood or extended military grades. Input bias current is 50 nA typical, and input offset voltage is 350 µV — adequate for general-purpose signal conditioning but not precision instrumentation.
Package and footprint notes
Housed in a 10-TFSOP / 10-MSOP (3.00 mm width) package, the MAX4168EUB+T uses the 10-uMAX/uSOP footprint. The supplier device package is 10-uMAX/uSOP. Surface-mount only; no through-hole variant exists. The Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) options suit both prototyping and production reels.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
Listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. For dual-sourcing, the closest pin-compatible alternative within the same family would be a part with identical package and supply range — verify the GBW and output current tradeoffs against your load.
