What the slew rate means for signal conditioning
The OP186GRT-REEL: A slew rate of 0.035 V/µs limits the large-signal bandwidth — the output can swing 1 V in about 28.6 µs. For a rail-to-rail 5 V swing, the rise time is roughly 143 µs, capping the usable frequency for full-amplitude signals below 3.5 kHz. This suits slow sensor conditioning, battery monitoring, or DC-level shifting where the signal changes slowly.
Supply range and power budget
Operates from 2.7 V to 12 V supply span, drawing only 3.3 µA per channel — a good fit for battery-powered or always-on circuits where quiescent current matters. The supply current is specified for one channel; the single-circuit package keeps the power draw predictable.
Package and temperature grade
Housed in a SOT-23-5 (SC-74A) surface-mount package, the part is rated for -40°C to +125°C operation. The industrial temperature range covers most automotive under-hood and outdoor enclosure applications, though the part is not formally AEC-Q qualified.
