DESCRIPTION
The NE/SA5234 is a matched, low voltage, high performance quad operational amplifier. Among its unique input and output characteristics is the capability for both input and output rail-to-rail operation, particularly critical in low voltage applications. The output swings to less than 50 mV of both rails across the entire power supply range. The NE/SA5234 is capable of delivering 5.5 V peak-to-peak across a 600 Ω load and will typically draw only 700 µA per amplifier. The bandwidth is 2.5 MHz and the 1% settling time is 1.4 µs.

FEATURES
• Wide common-mode input voltage range: 250 mV beyond both rails
