Dual op amp is quiet about precision
Dual op amp is designed for medical, instrumentation, automated test equipment and other industrial applications that require low noise without sacrificing precision.
The AD8599 dual op amp is designed for medical, instrumentation, automated test equipment and other industrial applications that require low noise without sacrificing precision The industry's only dual op amp to specify 1nV/Hz voltage noise at 1kHz over a wide operating voltage range up to 36V, the AD8599 lowers voltage noise by 80% as compared with standard amplifiers

Analog Devices is sampling two new low-cost ADSP-219x models - the ADSP-2195 and ADSP-2196 - expanding the ADSP-21xx family of code compatible digital signal processors.
14bit A/D conversion at 105Msample/s
Analog Devices is claiming another industry breakthrough with the first 14bit ADC to run at 105Msample/s.
Available in the same package as many single op amps, the AD8599 allows a much higher level of integration.
The low noise and small footprint make the AD8599 easy to use.
It is ideal for closed loop gain, error amplifier configurations and transimpedance applications, such as microphone pre-amps, buffers for precision digital-to-analogue convertors (DACs) and photodiode amplifiers.
The AD8599 comes in an 8-lead SOIC (small outline integrated circuit) package, reducing board space requirements.
It also reduces the cost of external components by including a compensation capacitor for unity gain stability.
The AD8599 is designed using Analog Devices' proprietary iPolar high-voltage process technology, which provides best-in-class precision and gain stability.
The device also offers 3.5pA/(rt)Hz current noise and less than 0.001% distortion, both of which are required to maintain the highest levels of precision for audio signal sources, transimpedance (current-to-voltage amplification) and other error feedback amplifier circuits that require high closed-loop gain and stability.
The AD8599, available now in full production quantities, is priced at $4.25 in 1000-piece quantities.
Housed in an 8-lead SOIC package, it is specified over a +/-5 to +/-15V voltage range and the -40 to +125C extended industrial temperature range.
