The LMH6502MT/NOPB is a single-channel variable gain amplifier in a 14-TSSOP package (4.40 mm width). Supplied in tube format — the reel quantity is not specified, but tube packaging suits prototype and low-volume builds. For production reflow, the tube's anti-static material is compatible with standard pick-and-place feeders.
What the 1800V/µs slew rate means for signal integrity
1800V/µs slew rate at 130 MHz -3dB bandwidth means the amplifier can swing a 5 Vpp output signal at full bandwidth without slew-induced distortion. For a 2 Vpp output at 130 MHz, the required slew rate is roughly 2 V × π × 130 MHz ≈ 817 V/µs — well within the 1800 V/µs capability, so the large-signal bandwidth is not slew-limited at typical output levels. The 27 mA supply current is the quiescent draw for this slew rate. At 90 mA output current per channel, the total dissipation in the TSSOP-14 package at 85°C ambient stays below the thermal derating limit when the exposed pad is properly soldered.
Supply flexibility and input bias considerations
Single-supply operation from 5 V to 12 V (supply span min 5 V, max 12 V) covers common rails: 5 V for mixed-signal systems, 12 V for industrial sensor interfaces. The 9 µA input bias current is typical for a wideband VGA — it sets a lower bound on the source impedance; a 1 kΩ source sees a 9 mV offset from bias current alone, negligible for most gain stages. Variable gain architecture means the gain is set by an external control voltage, not fixed resistors. This suits AGC loops, programmable gain stages, and test equipment where the gain must change dynamically without switching resistor networks.
Active production and compliance status
ROHS3 compliant per, so it meets the current EU RoHS exemption-free standard. The NOPB suffix confirms lead-free (No Pb) construction. Sourced through authorized and independent distribution channels.
