Quad CMOS op-amp built for low-frequency precision
It delivers 100 kHz gain bandwidth and a 0.02 V/µs slew rate — numbers that tell you this part is designed for DC and low-frequency signal conditioning, not high-speed amplification. The 0.002 pA input bias current is the standout: it lets you buffer signals from high-impedance sources like photodiode transimpedance amplifiers or pH probe interfaces without adding measurable offset drift.
Supply current that matters for battery life
Total supply current for all four amplifiers is 52 µA — about 13 µA per channel. In a battery-powered sensor node running from two alkaline cells, that current draw is negligible compared to the microcontroller or radio.
Industrial temperature grade and through-hole package
The 14-DIP package (0.300" width) is through-hole — easy to hand-solder, socket, or rework, but it takes up board area that a surface-mount SOIC or TSSOP would save. If your design is already on a mixed-technology board with other DIP parts, this package is a natural fit. If you are space-constrained, consider the surface-mount LMC6044AIM or a smaller-package alternative.
Active lifecycle, but RoHS non-compliant
For new designs targeting RoHS compliance (EU Directive 2011/65/EU), you will need an exemption or a RoHS-compliant alternate.
