CA0358AE

Overview

The Intersil CA0358AE is a dual operational amplifier designed for commercial, industrial, and military applications. It features two independent, high-gain, internally frequency-compensated amplifiers capable of operating from single or split power supplies. The device offers a wide bandwidth at unity gain, high DC voltage gain, and low supply current. Its input common-mode voltage range includes ground, and it provides a large output voltage swing. The component is built to withstand extreme environmental conditions suitable for demanding operational scenarios.

Feature Summary

• Internally frequency compensated for stability in unity gain configurations
• Wide power supply range supporting both single and dual supply operation
• Input common-mode voltage range includes ground potential
• High DC voltage gain with low input bias current

Applications

• Commercial electronic systems requiring precision signal conditioning
• Industrial control circuits operating under varying temperature conditions
• Military equipment necessitating robust analog performance across extended ranges

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'AE' against official Renesas or Intersil documentation to confirm exact temperature grade and package variant. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts by checking pin assignments against standard dual op-amp footprints. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for the target assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with current datasheets to validate active status and availability channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when application requirements demand dual amplifiers with ground-referenced inputs and wide supply flexibility. Consider its internal frequency compensation for simplified circuit design without external phase correction. Evaluate its performance characteristics against other dual op-amps if specific gain-bandwidth or offset voltage constraints exist. Verify that the package type matches the manufacturing capabilities of the intended production line.

Part Context

The CA0358AE belongs to the CAx58 family of dual operational amplifiers manufactured by Intersil, now part of Renesas Electronics. This series is engineered for versatility across commercial, industrial, and military sectors. The 'CA' prefix typically denotes commercial/industrial/military grades, while the '0358' identifies the specific dual op-amp topology within the lineup. These devices are known for their reliability and performance in analog signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

The CA358AE is a direct functional replacement for the CA0358AE, differing primarily in temperature rating. Check datasheets for pin compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before substitution.
