Supply Operation:
with an offset of just 125μV are significant improvements
over traditional CMOS op amps. Additionally, noise is
guaranteed to be less than 10nV/√Hz at 1kHz. An 18MHz
gain bandwidth, and 10V/μs slew rate, along with the wide
supplyrangeandlowinputcapacitance,makethemperfect
for use as fast signal processing amplifiers.

These op amps have an output stage that swings within
30mV of either supply rail to maximize the signal dynamic
rangeinlowsupplyapplications.Theinputcommonmode
range extends to the negative supply. They are fully speci-
fied on 3V and 5V, and an HV version guarantees operation
on supplies up to 5V.

for compact designs it is packaged in a tiny dual fine pitch
leadless (DFN) package. The LTC6242 is available in the
16-pin SSOP as well as the 5mm × 3mm DFN package.
