NE5232D/01,118

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Overview

The NE5232D/01,118 is a matched dual high-performance low-voltage operational amplifier manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It features rail-to-rail input and output operation, with the output swinging to within 50 mV of both supply rails across the entire power supply range. The device typically draws 700 μA per amplifier and delivers 5.5 V peak-to-peak across a 600 Ω load. Key electrical parameters include a unity gain bandwidth of 2.5 MHz, a slew rate of 0.8 V/μs, and an input referred voltage noise of 33 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz. The offset voltage is typically ±4 mV with a drift of 4 μV/°C. It operates on single supplies from +2 V to +5.5 V or dual supplies from ±1 V to ±2.75 V.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix /01,118 corresponds to the standard SO8 plastic small outline package configuration documented in the official datasheet. Confirm the temperature range aligns with the NE series specification (0 °C to +70 °C) rather than extended industrial or automotive grades. Ensure compatibility with the recommended operating conditions regarding supply voltage limits and thermal derating requirements before finalizing procurement.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Selection Notes

Select this component when rail-to-rail signal handling is required in low voltage environments. It is suitable for designs needing low power consumption alongside moderate bandwidth performance. Consider the 8-pin SO package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the trade-off between the 2.5 MHz bandwidth and the 700 μA quiescent current against higher speed or lower power alternatives depending on system priorities.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Part Context

This part belongs to the NE/SA/AU5232 family of matched dual operational amplifiers originally developed by Philips Semiconductors. The NE variant specifically denotes the commercial temperature grade version housed in an 8-pin plastic small outline package. It shares core electrical characteristics with the SA and AU variants but differs in specified operating temperature ranges and qualification standards.

Instrumentation, Op Amps, Buffer Amps Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package and pinout include the SA5232D and AU5232D, which offer extended temperature ranges. Other general-purpose rail-to-rail op-amps may require circuit redesign due to differences in bias current, noise, or stability characteristics.
