Hermetic 8-CERDIP general-purpose op-amp for military temp range
It's the kind of part you spec when the board has to survive a cold-soak at altitude or bake on a hot tarmac — the ceramic dual-in-line package seals the die against moisture and outgassing, unlike plastic SOIC equivalents. With a gain-bandwidth product of 500 kHz and a 0.2 V/µs slew rate, it handles slow control loops, signal conditioning, and DC amplification without the noise penalties of a wider-bandwidth part. Supply current sits at 380 µA, making it usable in power-constrained line-powered designs where the 4 V to 40 V supply span gives headroom for unregulated rails.
The 500 kHz gain-bandwidth product means a closed-loop gain of 10 gives you a 50 kHz small-signal bandwidth — enough for most sensor filtering and slow ADC front-ends. That matters if you're driving a multiplexer input or an analog switch that needs fast settling. For audio or vibration monitoring above a few kilohertz, a faster part would be needed. The 40 µV offset and 40 pA input bias current let you avoid nulling trims in most DC-coupled circuits up to moderate source impedances.
No last-time-buy window to track, no NRND flag. For a defense or aerospace BOM that already carries the qualification cost, an active lifecycle removes one supply-chain variable.
