75MHz Rail-To-Rail OP-AMPS from National Semiconductor Bring High Speed to 2.7V Portable Systems.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 1995--A series of rail-to-rail input and output operational amplifiers which offer high-speed operation at low supply currents has now been introduced by National Semiconductor. Each of these amplifiers addresses the needs of the portable instrumentation market by providing excellent signal fidelity through its wide bandwidth, and by offering a broad supply range of 2.7V to 24V, easing overall design in mixed voltage applications. The LM6132 (dual) and the LM6134 (quad) each operate at a fast 10MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. while drawing only 360 microA/Channel (typ.) of supply current. While the rail-to-rail input and output of these amplifiers increase overall performance by maximizing signal-to-noise ratio The ratio of the power or volume (amplitude) of a signal to the amount of unwanted interference (the noise) that has mixed in with it. Measured in decibels, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR or S/N) measures the clarity of the signal in a circuit or a wired or wireless transmission channel. and dynamic signal range, the low supply current minimizes battery consumption, prolonging battery life. This combination of features makes these devices ideal for use in high-speed portable instrumentation such as barcode scanners, LCDs and other battery-powered devices. "This amplifier provides designers with the low-power operation needed for portable devices, but, unlike many products on the market today, does not compromise speed to do so," noted Sonia Ramirez, National's amplifier product marketing engineer. "Also, this combination of rail-to-rail input and output, high-speed operation, and minimal power consumption is offered at a price that won't inflate the overall system cost." For those applications which demand even greater bandwidth, the LM6152 (dual) and the LM6154 (quad) offer rail-to-rail operation at a speed as high as 75MHz. With the same variable supply range of 2.7V to 24V, these amplifiers offer a high speed solution for low voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains applications. This combination of features makes the LM6152/4 ideal for high-speed portable instrumentation and data converter signal conditioning applications.
