Package and mounting
Its 500 kHz gain-bandwidth product (cite:) covers audio-band filtering, sensor buffering, and slow control loops without wasting power — the 20 µA supply current (cite:) keeps the battery drain negligible in always-on portable gear. Input offset voltage is 550 µV (cite:) and input bias current is 3 pA (cite:), so it won't load high-impedance sources like pH probes or photodiode preamps. The 0.23 V/µs slew rate (cite:) limits it to low-frequency signals — think 10 kHz sine waves, not fast pulses.
Package and footprint — SOT-23-5
Housed in a SOT-23-5 (SC-74A) package (cite:,), this op-amp fits a standard 5-pin footprint with 0.95 mm pitch — easy to route on two-layer boards and straightforward to hand-solder or rework. Surface-mount only (cite:).
Lifecycle and compliance
Active product status (cite:) means TI is still manufacturing this part — no last-time-buy or obsolescence pressure. RoHS3 compliant (cite:), so it passes current environmental regulations for EU and global markets.
