Key Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Channels** | Dual (2) | | **Supply Voltage (Single)** | 3V to 36V | | **Supply Voltage (Dual)** | ±1.5V to ±18V | | **Quiescent Current** | 200 µA per amplifier (typical) | | **Gain Bandwidth Product** | 1.27 MHz | | **Slew Rate** | 0.46 V/µs | | **Input Offset Voltage** | 250 µV (max) | | **Package** | 8-Lead LFCSP (Lead Frame Chip Scale Package) | --- ### 2. Core Functional Features * **Overvoltage Protection (OVP):** One of the standout features is its integrated input overvoltage protection. It can handle input voltages up to **12V above or below** the supply rails without damaging the internal circuitry or causing phase reversal. * **Rail-to-Rail Output:** The output can swing very close to the supply rails, maximizing the dynamic range of the signal, which is critical in low-voltage systems. * **Micropower Operation:** Consuming only about 200 µA per channel, it is ideal for battery-powered or portable instruments where power efficiency is a priority. * **High Precision:** Low offset voltage and low drift make it suitable for DC-coupled applications and high-accuracy sensor interfacing. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases 1. **Industrial Process Control:** Used in PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) modules where input signals might accidentally exceed the power supply limits. 2. **Battery Monitoring:** Excellent for monitoring voltage and current in battery packs due to low current draw. 3. **Sensor Signal Conditioning:** Amplifying signals from thermocouples, RTDs, and bridge sensors in harsh environments. 4. **Portable Instrumentation:** Handheld diagnostic tools that require long battery life and small form factors. --- ### 4.
