CLC1002ISO8

Overview

The CLC1002ISO8 is a single-channel, ultra-low noise voltage feedback operational amplifier manufactured by MaxLinear. It features a gain bandwidth product of 965 MHz and a slew rate of 170 V/µs. The device operates on supply voltages ranging from 4V to 12V with a quiescent current of 13 mA per channel. Key electrical characteristics include an input voltage noise density of 0.6 nV/√Hz, a maximum input offset voltage of 1 mV, and an output current capability of 130 mA. It includes a dedicated disable pin that reduces supply current to below 225 µA when activated.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low input voltage noise density for high-sensitivity signal processing
• High-speed performance with 965 MHz gain bandwidth product
• Integrated power-saving disable function to minimize standby consumption
• Robust output stage capable of delivering 130 mA drive current

Applications

• Transimpedance amplifiers
• Pre-amplifier circuits
• Medical instrumentation
• Ultrasound channel amplifiers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ISO8' corresponds to the SOIC-8 package variant rather than the SOT23-6 configuration. Confirm the operating temperature range requirements match the industrial or automotive grades available within the CLC1002 family. Ensure the disable pin logic aligns with system control signals before finalizing component selection.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring minimal signal degradation in high-frequency environments. The low noise profile makes it suitable for photodiode interfaces. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities if driving low-impedance loads, as power consumption increases significantly under heavy load conditions compared to standard operational amplifiers.

FAQ

How does the disable pin affect the amplifier's operation?

The disable pin allows the user to turn off the amplifier. When grounded or pulled below the specified threshold, it disables the device and reduces the supply current to below 225 µA.

What is the minimum stable gain requirement for the CLC1002?

The CLC1002 requires a minimum stable gain of 5 to ensure proper stability during operation.
