The LMC272 is a CMOS dual operational amplifier with rail-to-rail output swing and an input common voltage range that extends below the negative supply. Other performance characteristics include low voltage operation, low bias current, excellent channel-to-channel isolation, good bandwidth performance and a competitive price. These devices are available in MSOP package which is about half the size of a SO-8 device. This enables the designer to fit the device in extremely small applications. The LMC272C is a direct replacement for TLC272C with performance which meets or exceeds the TLC272C's guaranteed limits in the commercial temperature range when operating from a supply of 2.7V to 15V (see Electrical Characteristics table for details). These features make this cost effective device ideal for new designs as well as for upgrading existing designs. Applications include hand-held analytic instruments, transducer amplifiers, sample and hold circuits, etc.
