RRIO OpAmp Recommendation?

Started by Jim Thompson September 12, 2014
I need a rail-to-rail I/O OpAmp, 5V Vcc is fine, slow speed setting a
current mirror.

What would you guys in the discrete world recommend as being
well-behaved, no peculiarities, etc?  (And readily available ;-)

Thanks!

I love to cook with wine.     Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I'm a fan of the AD8605. It has fast local feedback wrapped round the output stage, so that its output impedance doesn't climb nearly as fast as most RROs.

Thanks, Phil! That's how I design them on-chip... local feedback cures that transconductance nastiness. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: skypeanalog | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

I use a lot of LM7301s, but they are 32 volt parts and cost more than lower voltage stuff. LMV931 is OK. AD8565 isn't cheap, but it's a remarkable part. 16 volts RRIO, 250 mA peak out, comes off the rails clean in a microsecond, c-load stable. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

Thanks for all the tips. I sent the client (in Taiwan) a solution using the AD8605 that Phil suggested (and I could find a model for). I'll provide him also with all the alternates... this is a slow loop so I think any will do. Thanks again. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson | mens | | Analog Innovations | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | San Tan Valley, AZ 85142 Skype: skypeanalog | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

What specs?

I've been using the MicroChip MCP6294, mainly because they're cheap but the specs matter.

That looks OK for non-critical stuff. The single MCP6291 in SOT23 is around 40 cents in quantity. (I like singles, usually.) Somewhere there ought to be a really cheap workhorse opamp, ten cents maybe. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc jlarkin att highlandtechnology dott com http://www.highlandtechnology.com

Already exists. LM358, $0.09 in quantity 1 from Newark. And it's a dual! ;) http://octopart-clicks.com/click/vptrack?ak=68b25f31&sig=077166e&vpid=1 16013415 Cheers Phil Hobbs -- Dr Philip C D Hobbs Principal Consultant ElectroOptical Innovations LLC Optics, Electro-optics, Photonics, Analog Electronics 160 North State Road #203 Briarcliff Manor NY 10510 hobbs at electrooptical dot net http://electrooptical.net
