The LME49720 is part of the ultra-low distortion, low noise,
high slew rate operational amplifier series optimized and fully
specified for high performance, high fidelity applications.
Combining advanced leading-edge process technology with
state-of-the-art circuit design, the LME49720 audio opera-
tional amplifiers deliver superior audio signal amplification for
outstanding audio performance. The LME49720 combines
extremely low voltage noise density (2.7nV/√Hz) with van-
ishingly low THD+N (0.00003%) to easily satisfy the most
demanding audio applications. To ensure that the most chal-
lenging loads are driven without compromise, the LME49720
has a high slew rate of ±20V/μs and an output current capa-
bility of ±26mA. Further, dynamic range is maximized by an
output stage that drives 2kΩ loads to within 1V of either power
supply voltage and to within 1.4V when driving 600Ω loads.

The LME49720's outstanding CMRR (120dB), PSRR
(120dB), and VOS (0.1mV) give the amplifier excellent oper-
ational amplifier DC performance.
Optimized for superior audio signal fidelity
Output short circuit protection
PSRR and CMRR exceed 120dB (typ)
SOIC, DIP, TO-99 metal can packages
The LME49720 has a wide supply range of ±2.5V to ±17V.
Over this supply range the LME49720’s input circuitry main-
tains excellent common-mode and power supply rejection, as
well as maintaining its low input bias current. The LME49720
is unity gain stable. This Audio Operational Amplifier achieves
outstanding AC performance while driving complex loads with
values as high as 100pF.
