OPA2336UA/2K5

The OPA2336UA/2K5 is a family of low-power, precision, wide-band CMOS operational amplifiers designed for general-purpose applications such as portable or low-voltage instrumentation, consumer electronics, digital audio, and automotive uses. With their low noise, low quiescent current, and high input-referred offset voltage and mid-band gain accuracy, they are ideal for high-precision measurement systems.

The OPA2336UA/2K5 family offers several packages that provide a variety of single, dual, and even quad-channel configurations. With their wide bandwidth and high slew rate, these amplifiers also provide a high degree of differential gain and phase accuracy for a wide range of applications. They are suitable for low-level (< 500 mV) signals and can be used for high levels (> 4 V) signals as well.

The most common application field for the OPA2336UA/2K5 family is the instrumentation and data acquisition sector. These amplifiers can be used to measure, condition, and amplify signals from a wide range of sensors, such as MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) accelerometers and digital audio microphones. The OPA2336UA/2K5 family can also be used to amplify and condition signals in portable amplifiers and battery-powered devices. Additionally, the low input-referred offset voltage and drift accuracy make for reliable measurements of low-level signals in medical, automotive, and other instrumentation systems.

The working principle of the OPA2336UA/2K5 amplifiers is based on the voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS) topology. This is a common configuration, in which the amplifier gain is determined by the relationship between the input and output voltages, as opposed to other approaches (e.g., direct current feedback loops or voltage followers) in which the gain is determined by components. The OPA2336UA/2K5 family features low supply current and a wide input common mode range over the whole supply voltage range. The OPA2336UA/2K5 family also features a high gain-bandwidth product, low distortion, and a wide gain-bandwidth product and slew rate.

In summary, the OPA2336UA/2K5 family of operational amplifiers from Texas Instruments is a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of precision applications. These amplifiers offer an impressive package of features, including low noise, low quiescent current, and wide-band performance. With their high input-referred offset voltage and mid-band gain accuracy, they are ideal for use in instrumentation and data acquisition systems. Finally, the VCVS topology used in the OPA2336UA/2K5 amplifiers makes them highly suitable for low-level signals, and can be used for higher signal levels as well.
