Micropower, Dual and

Quad, Single Supply, Precision Op Amps

FEATURES DESCRIPTIO ®1078 is a micropower dual op amp in 8-pin Available in 8-Pin SO Package The LT 50µA Max Supply Current per Amplifier packages including the small outline surface mount pack- 70µV Max Offset Voltage age. The LT1079 is a micropower quad op amp offered in 180µA Max Offset Voltage in 8-Pin SO the standard 14-pin packages. Both devices are optimized 250p A Max Offset Current for single supply operation at 5V. ±15V specifications are 0.6µVP-P, 0.1Hz to 10Hz Voltage Noise also provided.

Satellite Circuitry Micropower Sample-and-Hold Both the LT1078 and LT1079 can be operated from a Thermocouple Amplifier single supply (as low as one lithium cell or two Ni-Cad Micropower Filters batteries). The input range goes below ground. The all-

NPN output stage swings to within a few millivolts of ground while sinking current—no power consuming pull
