Solving Industrial Issues One Idea at a Time

36-V op amps “TSB572” and “TSB611” are single volt amps that have been designed to supply GBW/Icc capability allowing around five times less supply current than standard op amps.  They are perfect for vehicle radio systems and electronic control units.  Their features include;

TSB572

• Rail-to-Rail inputs
• Rail-to-Rail outputs
• 2.5MHz GBW
• 1.5mV max input-offset voltage
• Stability with capacitive loads
• High resistance to phase reversal
• Voltage range from 4.0V to 36V

TSB611

• 560kHz GBW
• Can function from voltage as low as 2.7V
• Unity-gain-stable device
• Very low input-offset voltage of 1mVOperating current of 125uA (maximum) at 36V
