What the SSM2118TP delivers in an audio signal chain
The SSM2118TP is a single-channel audio amplifier from Analog Devices, built for line-level signal conditioning in pro audio, broadcast, and instrumentation gear where low distortion matters more than rail-to-rail output swing. Its 14 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 5V/µs slew rate mean the amplifier preserves phase margin and harmonic content well into the ultrasonic band — useful for anti-aliasing filters ahead of an ADC or for driving a high-impedance headphone load without audible roll-off at 20 kHz. Supply span runs from 10 V to 36 V, so a single ±15 V rail or a 24 V single-supply bus both fit without an extra regulator.
Package, temperature grade, and compliance
Housed in a 16-lead PDIP (0.300" body width), the SSM2118TP is a through-hole part — suited for prototyping, low-volume builds, or retrofit into existing DIP sockets on legacy audio boards. Rated for -40°C to +85°C, it covers the industrial temperature band; the 11 mA quiescent supply current is modest for a wide-bandwidth audio amp.
Sourcing and availability
The SSM2118TP is an active, current-production part. Sourced through authorized and independent distribution; pricing and lead time confirmed at RFQ against your BOM quantity. The 16-DIP footprint is standard, so a parametric match from another vendor requires a board-level evaluation.
