At the Wireless Portable Symposium & Exhibition, ON Semiconductor announced the NCS2001, an addition to its sub-1 volt integrated circuit family. The NCS2001 is a low power, rail-to-rail input and output CMOS op-amp that provides sub-1 volt operation significant for designers using 0,9 V operating cores in their microprocessors, DSPs or microcontrollers.
With widely applicable specifications that can be used in a variety of end applications, the NCS2001 helps designers make the best use of important circuit characteristics. The device maximises the functionality within a circuit for low supply voltage operation because it has a wider supply voltage. It can be used in portable communications devices, sensor interfaces, active filters, PCMCIA cards, ASIC input drivers and DSP interfaces.
The NC2001 in SOT23-5 (TSOP-5) package is an ideal solution for powering applications from a single alkaline, nickel cadmium (NiCd) or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) battery. The device's ability to operate at low voltages also supports the trend towards lower operating voltages by providing the option to use peripheral ICs compatible with core voltages. Additional features include no output phase reversal with overdriven inputs, trimmed input offset voltage of 0,5 mV, extremely low input bias current of 40 pA and a unity gain bandwidth of 1,4 MHz at 5,0 V.
