With that much bias current, any source impedance above a few kilo-ohms will produce a voltage drop that swamps the 18 µV offset. This part works best when the source impedance is low — think voltage dividers off a stiff supply, current-sense resistors below 100 Ω, or as a buffer after an op-amp output. If you are conditioning a high-impedance sensor (a photodiode, a pH probe, a piezoelectric element), this is the wrong part; look for a FET-input op-amp instead. That limits the MXL1001CN8 to indoor, climate-controlled environments — benchtop instruments, lab gear, office equipment, consumer audio, and similar. ## Active lifecycle, but the package tells a story That said, the 8-DIP through-hole package is a legacy form factor. New designs increasingly migrate to surface-mount packages (SOIC, MSOP, TSSOP) for automated assembly and board-density reasons. If your production line is purely SMT or you are targeting a compact PCB, this part forces a hand-insertion step or a wave-solder pass. The active status means it is still available through the independent distribution channel, but the long-term trend for through-hole op-amps is toward obsolescence. For a new BOM, consider a pin-compatible SOIC-8 version of the same amplifier if one exists in the family; for a legacy repair or a through-hole-only board, this is the direct fit. ## RoHS non-compliant — check your assembly requirements If your BOM requires RoHS compliance for EU market access or your own environmental policy, the MXL1001CN8 will not pass the materials declaration. For RoHS-sensitive builds, look for a lead-free (Pb-free) variant in the same family, or plan for an exemption if applicable.","metaTitle":"MXL1001CN8 General Purpose Op-Amp, 800 kHz, 8-DIP","metaDescription":"MXL1001CN8 general purpose op-amp: 800 kHz GBP, 0.25 V/µs slew rate, 18 µV offset, 6-36 V supply.

Without a specific manufacturer cross-reference in the record, the closest functional match is another single general-purpose op-amp in an 8-DIP package with similar supply range and bandwidth. The LM741 or the TL071 (JFET input, lower bias current) are common through-hole alternatives, but verify pin compatibility — the offset null pin arrangement can differ between families. For a g"},{"question":"What is MXL1001CN8's listed slew rate?","answer":"The slew rate is 0.25 V/µs. This limits the large-signal bandwidth — for a 10 V peak-to-peak output swing, the maximum frequency before slew-rate limiting is roughly 0.25 / (π × 10) ≈ 8 kHz. For smaller swings, proportionally higher frequencies are possible, but this is not a fast amplifier for video or high-speed data acquisition."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MXL1001CN8","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/analog-devices/MXL1001CN8 when reusing this data.
