TI's Bipolar-Input Audio Op Amps Target Highest Noise Performance Applications

These op amps are targeted at USB and FireWire audio systems, analog and digital mixers, portable recording systems, and other applications that require the highest noise performance combined with low power consumption.



Key features and benefits of the OPA1662 and OPA1664:



• Best noise/distortion performance: Low 3.3-nV/rt Hz noise density with an ultra-low total harmonic distortion plus nose of 0.00006 percent at 1 kHz enables the design of much higher performance audio equipment than previously thought possible.

• Lowest power consumption: Low quiescent current of 1.5 mA per channel allows designers to stay within system power budgets while offering unmatched sound reproduction.

• Higher signal integrity: A wide gain bandwidth of 22 MHz and slew rate of 17 V/us provide higher signal integrity and faster response to a wider range of input signal frequencies.

• Widest supply range: Operating range of +/-1.5 V to +/-18 V or +3 V to +36 V provides excellent dynamic performance over a wide choice of loads.



System designers can build an audio signal path by combining the OPA1662 or OPA1664 with the PCM1792A 24-bit, 192-kHz sampling, stereo audio digital-to-analog converter.



Tools and support:

The OPAMPEVM universal op amp evaluation module is available to accelerate the development of audio equipment using the OPA1662 and OPA1664 for a suggested retail price of US$5. The Active Filter Designer tool can help system designers implement an op amp filter design. TINA-TI SPICE models and reference designs are also available today for the OPA1662 and OPA1664 op amps.



Availability, packaging and pricing:

The dual-channel OPA1662 is available today in SO-8 and MSOP-8 packages for a suggested retail price of US$0.95 in 1,000-unit quantities. The quad-channel OPA1664 is available in SO-14 and TSSOP-14 packages for a suggested retail price of US$1.45 in 1,000-unit quantities.
