CA3177E

Overview

The CA3177E is a general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features a single circuit configuration housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. Key electrical specifications include an input bias current of 15 µA and an input offset voltage of 100 mV. The device is designed for standard linear amplification applications requiring moderate precision.

Feature Summary

• Single-channel operational amplifier architecture
• Low input bias current capability
• Standard general-purpose performance profile

Applications

• General signal amplification
• Buffer circuits
• Instrumentation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Harris Corporation merged with L3 Technologies to form L3Harris Technologies in 2019. Confirm that the component is sourced from authorized distributors or verified surplus suppliers to ensure authenticity. Check for any specific lot codes or date codes if traceability is required for your application.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single operational amplifier with low input bias current is required. The 100 mV input offset voltage indicates it is suitable for general-purpose applications rather than high-precision instrumentation. Ensure the 8-PDIP package fits the available board space and thermal requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Harris Corporation linear amplifier family. Harris specialized in electronic components before merging into L3Harris Technologies. The CA3177E represents a standard general-purpose op-amp design typical of the manufacturer's portfolio during its independent operational period.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing with generic pin-compatible operational amplifiers may be necessary, but functional equivalence must be verified against the specific electrical parameters.
