MPS Announces Its First Ultra Low Power, Compact Operational Amplifier.


LOS GATOS Los Gatos (lôs gä`tōs, lŏs, găt`əs), city (1990 pop. 27,357), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1887. It is an affluent residential community and health resort. , Calif. -- Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) (Nasdaq:MPWRE) releases the MP8102, its first operational amplifier 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.  to complement its wide offering in DC to DC converters, LED and CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) Same as CCFT.  drivers, and Class D audio amplifiers.

The MP8102 is an ultra low power An ultra low power, or ULP device, is an electronic gadget that has milli- or micro-watt power consumption.

Some examples of ultra-low power devices:
  • Pacemakers
  • Hearing aids
 op-amp which delivers a -3dB bandwidth of 600kHz while consuming an incredibly low 7.5uA of supply current. This 1.8V to 5.5V true single-supply amplifier features a rail-to-rail output that can sink and source 20mA of load current and has an input common mode range that includes ground. In addition, the MP8102 has a very low input offset voltage of less than 1mV and a tiny 2pA of input bias current.

This part is packaged in a tiny SOT23-5 making it ideal for use in compact portable devices such as PDAs, mobile phones and cordless handsets, GPS receivers, and a wide range of consumer electronics. Samples are available immediately.
