Tiny op amps maintain micropower
operation
Ultra-low-power op amps claim a new standard for precision low voltage operation and tiny footprint.
Linear Technology has announced a new family of ultra-low-power op amps that claim a new standard for precision low voltage operation and tiny footprint The LT6003 (single), LT6004 (dual) and LT6005 (quad) amplifiers draw less than 1uA and operate from 1.6 to 16V

Card power chip meets smart and SIM standards
The LTC4557 is a dual SIM/smart-card power supply and level translator, which provides both 1.8 and 3V SIM power and digital signal level shifting from a 3 x 3mm QFN package.
RF mixers take transformers onboard
Linear Technology has released two new high linearity up-converting RF active mixers with integrated RF transformers.
With maximum input offset voltage of 500uV at 25C and a maximum drift of 5uV/C, the LT6003 family is the most precise low voltage ultra low op amp.
A tiny 2 x 2mm DFN package makes the footprint of the LT6003 the smallest in this class and inputs and outputs feature rail-to-rail operation.
The LT6003 family is ideal for battery-operated, handheld instrumentation due to the combination of low supply current, 1.6 to 16V operating range and tiny packages.
For many micropower amplifiers, rail-to-rail operation compromises the supply current, with up to a threefold current increase as the output approaches the rails.
According to Linear Technology Design Manager, Mike Kultgen: "The LT6003 family uses unique design techniques to preserve its micropower operation in all normal operating conditions as well as during startup, when the amplifier output is likely to be at the supply rail".
Both leaded and leadless DFN packages are available with fully guaranteed specs over commercial (0 to +70C), industrial (-40 to +85C) and automotive (-40 to +125C) temperature ranges.
The LT6003 family is available now with 1000-piece prices of US $0.72, $1.10 and $1.75 for the single LT6003, dual LT6004 and quad LT6005, respectively. Request a free brochure from Linear Technology Corp ...
