GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All device characteristics are specified for +5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supply systems. It has been developed specifically with the 5V single supply or ±2.5V dual supply user in mind. Several important characteristics of the device make many applications easy to implement for these supply voltages. First, the operational amplifier can operate with rail-to-rail input and output voltages. This feature allows numerous analog serial stages to be implemented without losing operating voltage margin. Second, the device was designed to accommodate mixed applications where digital and analog circuits may work off the same 5V power supply. Third, the output stage can drive up to 400pF capacitive, and 1KΩ resistive loads in non-inverting unity gain connection, and up to 4000pF at a gain of 5. These features, coupled with extremely low input currents, high voltage gain, useful bandwidth of 1.5MHz, slew rate of 2.1V/µs, low power dissipation, low offset voltage and temperature drift, make the ALD1712A/ALD1712B/ALD1712 a truly versatile, user friendly, operational amplifier.
