200 V/µs slew rate — the edge for high-speed signal chains
Its 260 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 200 V/µs slew rate make it a natural fit for video distribution, ADC input buffering, pulse amplification, and high-speed instrumentation front-ends where the signal edge must be preserved. Supply span runs from 4.5 V to 12 V, so it works on a single 5 V rail or dual ±5 V supplies — but the 12 V ceiling rules out 15 V or higher industrial buses. Each channel delivers up to 120 mA output current, enough to drive a 50 Ω back-terminated line or a moderate capacitive load.
Supply rails and layout — the 12 V limit matters
The 4.5 V minimum supply means a 3.3 V-only system needs a boost converter or a separate 5 V rail — this part does not run on 3.3 V. The 12 V maximum is a hard ceiling; do not exceed it even momentarily. On the PCB, use a solid ground plane under the 8-SOIC and place a 0.1 µF ceramic within 2 mm of each supply pin. The 120 mA per-channel output current can drive a 50 Ω load rail-to-rail, but watch the package thermal impedance: the 8-SOIC has no exposed pad, so sustained DC current near the limit on both channels simultaneously will push the junction above 85°C ambient. For pulse or AC-coupled loads this is rarely an issue.
For a BOM line, this removes the urgency of a lifetime buy or a qualification rush.
