CLC1010ISO8X

Overview

The CLC1010ISO8X is a single-channel, low-cost voltage feedback amplifier from the Comlinear family. It operates on a 2.5V to 5.5V supply with a typical 70μA current draw. Key electrical parameters include a 7.3MHz unity-gain bandwidth and a 9V/μs slew rate. The device features rail-to-rail output capability and an input common-mode range extending 300mV below ground. It is housed in an SOIC-8 package and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low power consumption suitable for battery-powered systems
• Rail-to-rail output stage with high dynamic performance
• Extended common-mode input range without phase reversal
• Short circuit protection with soft saturation recovery

Applications

• Portable and battery-powered applications
• Mobile communications and cell phones
• ADC buffer circuits
• Active filters
• Medical equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity as the CLC1010ISO8X is officially listed as Obsolete (OBS) by Exar Corporation. Confirm that any available units are genuine surplus stock rather than counterfeit replacements. Review datasheet Rev 1D specifications carefully, as manufacturing has ceased and availability is restricted.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring ultra-low quiescent current alongside moderate bandwidth. It serves as a direct replacement for the CLC1010IST5X when an SOIC-8 footprint is required instead of SOT23-5. Ensure the application does not demand higher drive currents or wider supply ranges than the specified 5.5V maximum.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Comlinear CLC1010/CLC2010 series manufactured by Exar Corporation. The CLC1010 represents the single-channel variant, while the CLC2010 offers dual channels. Both utilize a complementary bipolar process to achieve high performance at low cost.

Replacement Considerations

The CLC1010IST5X is the pin-compatible alternative within the same family, utilizing an SOT23-5 package instead of SOIC-8.

FAQ

Does exceeding the common-mode input range cause phase reversal?

No, the design ensures that exceeding the specified input voltage range will not cause phase reversal.

What is the overdrive recovery time for this amplifier?

The amplifier typically recovers from an overdrive condition in less than 60ns.
