Burr-Brown Expands Family of MicroPower Op Amps for Battery Powered Systems.TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 1998--Burr-Brown Corporation (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :BBRC BBRC Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications BBRC Bellevue Breakfast Rotary Club (Washington state) BBRC Ball Brothers Research Corporation ) today announced the expansion of its product line of low cost micropower operational amplifiers operational amplifier, amplifier whose output voltage is proportional to the negative of its input voltage and that boosts the amplitude of an input signal many times, i.e., has a very high gain. for battery powered systems with recent additions to the OPA OPA: see Office of Price Administration. 244 (single and dual versions) and OPA241/OPA251 (single, dual and quad) op amp families. "Our growing family of single supply, micropower op amps meet an industry trend toward lower cost, lower operating voltage, and high precision operation," said Howard Skolnik, strategic marketing engineer at Burr-Brown. "With these new products, we offer the market a very wide range of performance and features." The OPA244 features low power operation and low supply voltage in a tiny SOT-23 surface-mount package. Its wide bandwidth (240kHz) makes it one of the fastest micropower op amps currently available. It is well suited for portable computers, PCMCIA cards, battery packs, and portable instrumentation equipment. The OPA241 and OPA251 families are single-supply, micropower operational amplifiers featuring a wide voltage range (2.7V to 36V). They are specifically designed for battery powered, portable and high channel count applications in medical instrumentation, process control and test systems. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. forecasts from Frost and Sullivan, worldwide sales of portable computers and PCMCIA cards will grow over 20% in 1999. Burr-Brown estimates the operational amplifier content of this market will reach $50 million in 1998. OPA244 Key Specifications The OPA244 operates from single (+2.2V to +36V) or dual supplies (+/-1.1V to +/-18V) and features low quiescent quiescent at rest; latent; the G0 stage of the cell cycle. current (40 micro-amps/amp), wide bandwidth (240kHz), low offset voltage (1mV max) and low bias current (8nA). A dual version, the OPA2244, is also available for increased design flexibility. OPA244 is available in the tiny 5-lead SOT-23-5 surface mount, SO-8 surface-mount, and 8-pin DIP. Pricing is from $0.34 in OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and quantities. Delivery is from stock. OPA241 and OPA251 Key Specifications The OPA241 and OPA251 families feature very low power consumption (24 micro-amps), rail-to-rail output (within 50mV), and excellent dc performance (+/-250 micro-volts max offset voltage). The input common-mode voltage range extends 200mV below the negative supply--ideal for single supply applications. The OPA241 series is optimized for operation at low power supply voltage, while the OPA251 series is optimized for high power supplies. Both can operate from either single (+2.7V to +36V) or dual supplies (+/-1.35V to +/-18V). Single and dual versions of both families (OPA241, OPA251, OPA2241 and OPA2251) come in standard 8-pin DIP and SO-8 surface-mount packages. The quad versions (OPA4241 and OPA4251) are available in 14-pin DIP and SO-14 surface-mount packages. Pricing is from $1.06 in 1000s; delivery is from stock.
