Instrumentation amplifier in hermetic ceramic
The OP06GZ is a single-circuit instrumentation amplifier from Analog Devices, offered in a hermetic 8-pin CDIP (0.300" width, 7.62 mm body) with a through-hole mount — the 8-CERDIP package variant shares the same footprint. This is a classic precision signal-conditioning block for differential sensor inputs, bridge circuits, and medical or industrial front-ends where low drift and common-mode rejection matter more than bandwidth. Rated for a supply span of 6 V to 44 V, the part accommodates both single- and split-rail designs without an external regulator — a ±15 V lab supply or a 24 V industrial rail both fall comfortably inside the envelope. The 100 V/µs slew rate means the output can track fast transients, making it suitable for multiplexed data acquisition or pulsed sensor readouts where settling time is the limiting factor. Input bias current is 40 nA typical, and input offset voltage is 400 µV — figures consistent with a general-purpose instrumentation amp that does not require the ultra-low bias of a FET-input stage. The commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) covers controlled indoor environments, lab equipment, and production-floor instrumentation but not extended outdoor or automotive duty.
Package, compliance, and lifecycle
Analog Devices lists the OP06GZ as Active in production. The RoHS compliance status is non-compliant — the ceramic package with lead-tin solder dip or internal die-attach materials likely drives this. Buyers with RoHS-restricted BOMs should verify the exemption or plan for a waiver. The part ships in Bulk packaging, typical for through-hole ceramic devices that are handled individually rather than on tape-and-reel. No additional compliance documentation (REACH, UL, IEC) is cited in the available record; the standard Analog Devices material declaration should cover the regulatory baseline.
