LM13700M

Overview

The LM13700M is a dual operational transconductance amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments. It integrates linearizing diodes and buffers for each channel. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 10 V to 36 V. Key electrical specifications include a gain-bandwidth product of 2 MHz, a slew rate of 50 V/us, and an input bias current of 5 uA. The maximum forward transconductance is 5400 uS. It features a push-pull output type and differential input. The component is housed in a SOIC-16 package and supports through-hole mounting styles.

Feature Summary

• Integrates linearizing diodes and buffers for each channel
• Dual operational transconductance amplifier architecture
• Push-pull output configuration

Applications

• Voltage-controlled amplifiers
• Automatic gain control circuits
• Frequency modulation synthesis

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics. Ensure the selected variant matches the required package style for the target PCB layout. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate parameter accuracy before final integration into the design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring precise voltage-controlled gain or frequency modulation. The integrated linearizing diodes simplify biasing requirements compared to discrete solutions. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the intended application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LM13700 series of dual operational transconductance amplifiers. It shares functional similarities with the LM13600 but includes additional internal linearizing diodes and buffer stages. The M suffix typically denotes a plastic small-outline package variant suitable for surface-mount assembly processes.
