What this op-amp is and where it fits
The Maxim Integrated MXL1001CS8 is a single general-purpose operational amplifier in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package. It delivers an 800 kHz gain-bandwidth product and a 0.25 V/µs slew rate.
Key ratings and what they mean for your BOM
The 800 kHz gain-bandwidth product sets the usable frequency range. Input offset voltage is 18 µV typical; input bias current is 700 µA.
Package and mounting
Housed in an 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90 mm width) package, surface-mount only. The supplier device package is also 8-SOIC — same footprint, no confusion. It ships in Bulk, so you get loose tubes or bags; no reel, no carrier tape. For a prototype run or a small production batch that is fine, but if you are loading a pick-and-place feeder, you will need to transfer the parts into a compatible tape or tray yourself.
