Its 5.6 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 2 V/µs slew rate support audio-band filtering, sensor buffering, and moderate-speed ADC driver stages without the quiescent penalty of a wider-bandwidth part.
300 µA supply current — the power budget decision
At 300 µA typical supply current, this op-amp fits into battery-powered instrumentation, portable medical devices, and sensor interfaces where every microamp matters. The 45 mA output drive per channel is enough to swing a modest load or drive a reference input, but not sized for heavy analog outputs—plan for a buffer stage if the load exceeds that figure. Input bias current sits at 40 nA, which is fine for resistive divider networks but worth noting for high-impedance sources like photodiode front-ends, where a CMOS-input alternative with picoamp bias would be a better fit.
The SOT-23-5 footprint (SC-74A, SOT-753) is a standard small-outline package compatible with common land patterns—no exotic pad geometry needed.
The RoHS non-compliant status is a known constraint—if your assembly line or target market requires RoHS, plan for an alternate finish variant or a waiver review.
