The MSK 182 and 183 are dual high power monolithic operational amplifiers ideal for use with a wide variety of loads. With operation from either single or dual supplies, they offer excellent design flexibility. Power dissipation is kept to a minimum with a quiescent current rating of only 20mA per amplifier, while 3 Amps of continuous available output current makes the MSK 182 or MSK 183 a very good low cost choice for motor drive circuits and audio amplification. The design is internally protected against current overloads and overtemperature conditions. Current limit can also be user-selected through the use of a resistor/potentiometer or voltage out/current out DAC. The MSK 182 is packaged in a hermetically sealed 14 pin power DIP with bolt down tabs for applications that require heat sinking. The MSK 183 is packaged in a low cost ceramic SIP.
