AD232AQ

The AD232AQ is an integrated circuit (IC) component that belongs to the AD232 family of general-purpose operational amplifiers. It is a low-cost, high-performance device that offers a wide range of applications due to its versatile features. One of the key features of the AD232AQ is its high open-loop gain, which is 5 times the unity gain. This allows the IC to provide precise amplification of signals with minimal distortion. The operational amplifier also has a high input impedance of 5 Megaohms, making it compatible with a wide range of input sources. Another notable feature is its wide bandwidth range, which spans from DC to 1 MHz. This allows the AD232AQ to accurately amplify signals across various frequencies. Additionally, this operational amplifier has a slew rate of 0.5V/μs, ensuring it can handle fast-changing input signals without introducing any noticeable delay or distortion. The AD232AQ is designed to operate with a wide supply voltage range, typically between ±3V to ±18V. This flexibility allows it to be used in various power supply configurations, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the AD232AQ incorporates built-in protection features such as short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown. These safeguards ensure the IC remains protected from potential damage caused by excessive current or excessive temperature. The IC package is a 14-pin dual in-line package (DIP), which promotes easy integration into existing circuit designs
