CLC446AJP

Overview

The CLC446AJP is a single-channel current-feedback operational amplifier manufactured by National Semiconductor. It operates within an 8-MDIP package and draws a supply current of 4.8mA. The device features a bandwidth of 400MHz and a power consumption rating of 50mW. It is designed for high-speed signal processing applications requiring low power operation.

Feature Summary

• Current-feedback architecture for high-speed performance
• Low power consumption design
• Single circuit configuration

Applications

• Instrumentation amplifiers
• Buffer amplifiers
• High-speed signal conditioning

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin, as Texas Instruments acquired National Semiconductor's analog division. Confirm the package type matches the required 8-MDIP specification. Check for obsolescence status, as this component may be discontinued. Ensure the suffix 'JP' corresponds to the correct plastic DIP variant. Validate RoHS compliance if required for modern assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel current-feedback op-amp with 400MHz bandwidth is required. Consider the 4.8mA supply current for power-sensitive designs. The 8-MDIP package suits through-hole mounting requirements. Evaluate alternatives if quad-channel configurations are needed instead of single-channel.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CLC446 series of current-feedback amplifiers. It is related to other variants in the National Semiconductor lineup, such as the CLC446AJ-QML. The series is characterized by high slew rates and wide bandwidths suitable for video and RF applications.
