Burr-Brown Announces Company's First CMOS Operational Amplifier.TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 16, 1997--Burr burr (bur) bur. burr (bûr) n. -Brown today announced the OPA336 series of micropower Electrical power that comes from a company-owned generating plant. Increasingly, large enterprises are developing their own power sources as the demand for energy increases and the sources of supply decrease. In addition, the enterprise has greater control over the consistent quality of the power, which is critical for the efficient operation of huge datacenters. CMOS operational amplifiers, offering the lowest offset voltage of any conventional (non-chopper) CMOS op amp (Operational Amplifier) A device that amplifies analog signals. It uses two inputs; one for power and one for data. It is used in a myriad of applications from communications to stereo. on the market. Variant of bur. The OPA336 series, available in single, dual, and quad versions, operates on a single supply down to 2.1V and features rail-to-rail output--within 3mV of the supplies with a 100k-ohm load. All of this is accomplished with only 20 micro-amps quiescent current. In addition to low offset voltage (125 micro-volts max), the OPA336 series offers low input bias current (1pA) and high open-loop gain (115dB). "Burr-Brown has been very successful using CMOS and BiCMOS in its mixed signal digital audio and video products for low cost consumer applications," said Mike Pawlik, vice president of marketing at Burr-Brown Corporation. "Now, by combining sub-micron CMOS with our precision amplifier designs, we'll be providing our customers with new price-performance options, down to 50 cents per channel, for high volume applications." Miniature packaging technology and micropower operation, along with an input common-mode range that extends below ground, make the OPA336 series ideal for single supply applications. The OPA336 gives Burr-Brown an industry-leading position in markets demanding sub-miniature op amps in portable equipment such as laptop computers, PCMCIA cards, handheld terminals and test instruments. OPA336, OPA2336, and OPA4336 have identical specifications that apply over the specified operating range (Vs = 2.3V to 5.5V) for maximum design flexibility. The dual and quad designs feature completely independent circuitry for lowest crosstalk and freedom from interaction. OPA336 packages are the tiny 5-lead SOT-23-5 surface-mount, SO-8 surface-mount, and 8-pin DIP. OPA2336 comes in the miniature MSOP-8 surface-mount, SO-8 surface-mount, and 8-pin DIP packages. OPA4336 is packaged in the space-saving SSOP-16 surface-mount and 14-pin DIP. OPA336 is priced from $1.43 in 1000s; delivery is from stock.
