Press Release Summary:
Providing up to 100 mA output current, 5 V rail-to-rail Model LME49721 allows input and output signals to swing within 20 mV of either rail. Its 4.0 nV/sqrt Hz input referred noise density and 0.0018% THD+N make it suited for lower-voltage supply-rail applications. Featuring extended bandwidth past 190 MHz, 36 V current feedback Model LME49713 is suited for signal conditioning applications. It provides settling times down to 50 ns, 1.9 nV/sqrt Hz input noise density, and THD+N of 0.00008%.
Original Press Release:
National Semiconductor Expands High-Fidelity Family with New Rail-to-Rail and Current Feedback Operational Amplifiers
- 36V Current Feedback Op Amp Provides High Slew Rate, Extended Bandwidth
- 5V Rail-to-Rail Input and Output Op Amp Breaks High-Fidelity, Low-Voltage Performance Barrier
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 1 /- Further expanding its high-fidelity operational amplifier family, National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM) today introduced a 5V rail-to-rail input and output (RRIO) and a 36V current feedback operational amplifier (op amp). The LME49721 RRIO op amp's combined specifications provide the high-fidelity performance and signal conditioning required by high-end portable devices and applications where supply rails are limited to lower voltages. The LME49713 current feedback op amp delivers ultra-low distortion, low noise, extended bandwidth past 190 MHz and fast settling times down to 50 nanoseconds.
Both op amps join a family of high-performance, high-fidelity op amps that includes the award-winning LM4562, which set a new industry standard with 0.00003 percent total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N).
National's dual 5V LME49721 RRIO op amp maximizes signal integrity by allowing the input signal and output signals to swing within 20 mV of either rail. Its low 4.0 nV/sqrt Hz input referred noise density and 0.0018 percent THD+N make it well-suited for lower-voltage supply-rail applications (plus or minus 1.1V to plus or minus 2.5V) such as 5V digital-to-analog converters (DACs), portable audio devices, signal conditioning, data acquisition, process control and test equipment.
The single LME49713 current feedback op amp features 1.9 nV/sqrt Hz input noise density, THD+N of 0.00008 percent and 150-Ohm output drive. Its 1900 V/us slew rate ensures accurate bandwidth and high dynamic range for all signal conditioning applications, including crosspoint switchers, multimedia broadcast systems, HDTV-compatible systems, line drivers and distribution amplifiers.
Key Technical Features and Benefits
The LME49721 provides output current capability up to 100 mA. It is unity- gain stable over a wide supply range of plus or minus 1.1V to 2.75V, with power-supply rejection rate (PSRR) of more than 100 db and a typical low input bias current of 40 fA. The output stage of the LME49721 can swing to within 20 mV of either power supply voltage when driving 2-kiloOhm loads or to within 30 mV when driving 600-Ohm loads. To ensure high dynamic range, it has a slew rate of 8.5 V/us while allowing the input signal to drive to the rails.
The LME49713 is unity-gain stable over a wide supply range of plus or minus 5V to 18V. Over this supply range, the LME49713 input circuitry maintains a PSRR of more than 100 db and a common-mode rejection rate (CMRR) of 88 dB. The settling time to within 0.1% is 50 nSec for a 10V step.
