What this dual op-amp brings to the board
The Maxim Integrated MAX44263AXA+T is a dual, general-purpose operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output swing, packaged in an 8-pin SC-70-8 (TFSOP) footprint. It delivers a 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product and a 7 V/µs slew rate, making it suitable for signal conditioning, active filtering, and sensor interface circuits that need moderate speed without excessive supply current. The 650 µA per-channel quiescent draw keeps the power budget tight in battery-powered or thermally constrained designs. The input stage features a 10 µV typical offset voltage and 0.01 pA input bias current. The supply range spans 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Rated for -40°C to 125°C, this part is qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood environments where the ambient temperature swings wide. The SC-70-8 package (1.25 mm pitch) saves board area compared to an SOIC-8, which matters when the layout is dense.
Slew rate and bandwidth — what they mean for signal fidelity
A 7 V/µs slew rate means the output can swing 7 volts in one microsecond. The rated output current per channel is 50 mA. The 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product tells the small-signal bandwidth at a given closed-loop gain. The offset voltage is 10 µV.
Package and mounting — fits the SC-70-8 land pattern
The MAX44263AXA+T comes in an SC-70-8 package (1.25 mm pitch) with a supplier device package designation of SC-70-8. It is surface-mount only. The tape-and-reel or cut-tape options suit both prototype assembly and production pick-and-place.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, ROHS3, no obsolescence risk
Maxim lists this part as Active in production. The ROHS3 compliance covers the current EU directive, so it passes the environmental gate for new product introductions. For a BOM line that needs a dual op-amp in a small footprint, this part is a safe long-term selection without a looming end-of-life trigger.
