The LT1013CPE4 is a dual general-purpose op-amp from Linear Technology in an 8-pin DIP through-hole package. It delivers a gain-bandwidth product of 1 MHz with a slew rate of 0.4 V/µs, drawing 350 µA per channel of supply current. The supply span from 5 V to 30 V covers single +5 V logic rails up to ±15 V industrial supplies.
Supply voltage range and single-supply operation
The LT1013CPE4 operates from a total supply span of 5 V to 30 V. This means it can run on a single +5 V rail (common in digital systems) or split ±15 V supplies (standard for industrial analog front-ends). Yes, it works in single-supply applications — the input common-mode range includes ground when using a single supply, though the output can swing within about 1 V of each rail. For a 5 V single-supply design, expect a usable output swing of roughly 1 V to 4 V.
Slew rate and dynamic response
The slew rate of 0.4 V/µs is moderate — typical for a general-purpose op-amp with 1 MHz GBW. It limits the large-signal bandwidth to about 60 kHz for a 10 V peak-to-peak output. For audio or low-frequency sensor signals this is fine; for high-speed data acquisition or fast pulse amplification you would look at a faster part. The 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product supports small-signal amplification up to 1 MHz, but full-power bandwidth is lower due to slew limiting.
Package and footprint
The supplier device package is 8-PDIP. This is a legacy through-hole format, common in breadboard prototyping, socketed designs, and retrofit repairs of older equipment. The Bulk shipping medium means the parts are supplied in tubes or loose, not tape-and-reel — factor that into your pick-and-place planning if you are using automated assembly.
