Maxim Intros LMX321/LMX358/LMX324 Op Amps

August 29, 2001 by Jeff Shepard

Maxim Integrated Products (Sunnyvale, CA) announced the new LMX321, LMX358 and LMX324, which are single-, dual- and quad-; low-cost; low-voltage; pin-to-pin compatible upgrades to the LMV321, LMV358 and LMV324 family of general purpose op amps.

These devices offer Rail-to-Rail outputs and an input common-mode range that extends below ground. These op amps draw only 105µA of quiescent current per amplifier, operate from a single +2.3V to +7V supply, and drive 2k resistive loads to within 40mV of either rail.

The LMX321/LMX358/LMX324 are unity-gain stable with a 1.3MHz gain-bandwidth product capable of driving capacitive loads up to 400pF. The combination of low voltage, low cost, and small package size makes these amplifiers ideal for portable- and battery-powered equipment.

The LMX321 single-op amp is available in ultra-small five-pin SC70 and space-saving five-pin SOT23 packages. The LMX358 dual-op amp is available in the tiny eight-pin SOT23 package. The LMX324 quad-op amp is available in 14-pin TSSOP and SO packages.
