LT1002
Dual, Matched Precision Operational Amplifier
FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Guaranteed low offset voltage The LT®1002 dual, matched precision operational amplifiers LT1002A 60µV max combine excellent individual amplifier performance with tight LT1002 100µV max matching and temperature tracking between amplifiers. Guaranteed offset voltage match
In the design, processing, and testing of the device, particular
