CA5260MZ96

Overview

The CA5260MZ96 is a dual operational amplifier manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It utilizes BiMOS technology, integrating MOSFET input stages with CMOS output stages on a monolithic chip. The device is designed for microprocessor and logic systems, typically operating with +5V supplies. Key electrical characteristics include a bandwidth of 3 MHz and a maximum input offset voltage of 20,000 µV. It features very high input impedance and low input current, making it suitable for applications requiring minimal signal loading.

Feature Summary

• Combines MOSFET input stage advantages with CMOS output stage capabilities on a single chip
• Provides very high input impedance and extremely low input bias current
• CMOS output stage allows signal swing to within 10mV of either supply rail
• Common-mode input voltage range includes the negative supply rail

Applications

• Ground referenced single supply amplifiers
• Fast sample-hold amplifiers
• High input impedance wideband amplifiers
• Voltage followers for single supply D/A converters
• Photo diode sensor amplifiers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MZ96' against official Renesas documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for the final assembly. Cross-reference with the standard CA5260 datasheet for baseline electrical parameters.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high input impedance and rail-to-rail output swing are critical. It is ideal for single-supply applications where the input can go below ground potential. Consider its 3 MHz bandwidth for moderate-speed signal processing. Evaluate the trade-off between its low input current and general-purpose op-amp availability.

Part Context

The CA5260 series represents a dual version of the popular CA5160 series. It is part of Renesas's legacy analog portfolio, combining BiMOS technology for high performance. The device is guaranteed to operate over the full military temperature range of -55°C to +125°C at V+ = 5V.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible replacements in the CA5260 family. Verify that alternative op-amps meet the specific requirement for input voltage range including the negative rail. Ensure replacement devices support the required 3 MHz bandwidth and low input bias current specifications.
