Fairchild Debuts New FAN4113 Op Amp

September 18, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Fairchild Semiconductor International (San Jose, CA) introduced the new FAN4113 voltage feedback amplifier, designed for low-cost, battery-powered commercial applications, and which can be operated from a supply voltage range of +/-0.6V to +/-2.75V. According to the company, it is the world's first 1.2V (+/-0.6V) rail-to-rail output operational amplifier in an SC70 package.

At unity gain and 1.2V supply voltage, the FAN4113 has a bandwidth of 36MHz. With a 1.2V supply voltage, the device offers a slew rate of 8V/uS, an input offset voltage of 0.5mV and an input noise of 12nV/(sqrt)Hz while consuming just 0.768mW.

Applications for the FAN4113 include single-cell (NiCd/NiMH) powered systems, DSP interfaces, telephone systems, keyless entry systems, PDAs, smart-card readers, infrared receivers in remote controls, portable instrumentation, audio systems and others.

According to Signal Conditioning Business Unit Director Gary Ross, "The FAN4113 represents a significant step forward in the design of operational amplifiers to meet the demands of the market. As supply voltages on semiconductor building blocks become lower and lower, Fairchild is well positioned to offer signal conditioning products to meet this demand."

The price is $0.64 for 1,000 pieces. Samples are now available with delivery in seven to eight weeks ARO.
