L165V

Overview

The L165V is a monolithic integrated circuit housed in a Pentawatt package, designed as a power operational amplifier. It features a single circuit configuration with a maximum slew rate of 8 V/µs and an input bias current of 200 nA. The device supports dual supply voltages ranging from 6 V to 18 V and operates with a supply current of 40 mA.

Feature Summary

• Monolithic integration within a Pentawatt package for robust power handling
• Designed specifically for power operational amplifier applications
• Capable of delivering high output current suitable for demanding loads

Applications

• Power operational amplifier circuits
• Wide range of general-purpose power amplification tasks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'V' against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm pinout and thermal characteristics. Ensure the selected component matches the required Pentawatt package dimensions for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee compatibility with your design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated power operational amplifier is required rather than discrete solutions. Consider the 8 V/µs slew rate and 3A capability relative to your signal bandwidth and load requirements. Verify that the 6 V to 18 V dual supply range aligns with your system's power architecture.

Part Context

The L165 series represents STMicroelectronics' offering in the power amplifier segment. The Pentawatt package provides efficient thermal dissipation compared to standard plastic packages. This family targets applications needing higher current drive capabilities than standard small-signal op-amps can provide.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution lists for equivalent power op-amps with similar current ratings and package types. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if replacing directly on existing boards.
