CA5160E

Overview

The CA5160E is a standard general-purpose operational amplifier manufactured by Harris Corporation. It features a single circuit configuration housed in an 8-pin PDIP package. The device integrates CMOS and bipolar transistors on a monolithic chip, combining the advantages of both technologies. Key electrical specifications include a gain bandwidth product of 4 MHz, a slew rate of 10 V/µs, and a low input offset voltage of 6 mV. It provides a high output current capability of 45 mA per channel.

Feature Summary

• Integrates CMOS and bipolar transistor technologies on a single monolithic chip
• Designed as a general-purpose operational amplifier for standard applications
• Provides high output current capability for driving loads

Applications

• General-purpose signal amplification circuits
• Buffer amplifier stages
• Instrumentation signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as sources list both Harris Corporation and Intersil Corporation. Confirm the RoHS compliance status, as some listings indicate non-compliance while others suggest lead-free variants. Ensure the package type matches the required 8-PDIP form factor for your PCB design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a general-purpose op-amp with moderate speed (4 MHz GBW) and high output drive (45 mA) is required. The hybrid CMOS-bipolar architecture offers specific performance benefits over pure bipolar or CMOS designs. Verify that the 8-PDIP package is compatible with your assembly process.

Part Context

The CA5160 series represents a line of operational amplifiers designed to leverage the complementary strengths of CMOS and bipolar processes. This specific model, CA5160E, is the enhanced or specific variant within that family, characterized by its single-channel configuration and through-hole packaging suitable for prototyping and industrial equipment.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing with other general-purpose op-amps requires verifying pin compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence against the original datasheet.
