Product Details
The LTC6261/LTC6262/LTC6263 are single/dual/quad operational amplifiers with low noise, low power, low supply voltage, and rail-to-rail inputs and outputs. They are unity gain stable with capacitive loads up to 1nF. They feature 30MHz gain-bandwidth product, 7V/μs slew rate while consuming only 240μA of supply current per amplifier operating on supply voltages ranging from 1.8V to 5.25V. The combination of low supply current, low supply voltage, high gain bandwidth product and low noise makes the LTC6261 family unique among rail-to-rail input/output op amps with similar supply current. These operational amplifiers are ideal for low power and low noise applications.
For applications that require power-down, the LTC6261 in 2mm × 2mm DFN and LTC6262 in MSOP-10 offer shutdown which reduces the current consumption to 10μA maximum.
The LTC6261 family can be used as plug-in replacements for many commercially available op amps to reduce power and improve input/output range and performance.

Design Tool
Use the Analog Filter Wizard to design low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters with actual op amps in minutes. As you progress through the design process, you can observe the characteristics of your filter design from ideal specifications to real world circuit behavior. Quickly evaluate the tradeoffs in op amp specifications - including gain-bandwidth, noise, and supply current – to determine the best filter design for your requirements.
Use Photodiode Wizard to design a transimpedance amplifier circuit to interface with a photodiode. Select a photodiode from the library included in the tool, or enter custom photodiode specifications. Quickly observe tradeoffs between Bandwidth, Peaking (Q), and ENOB/SNR. Modify circuit parameters, and immediately see results in plots for pulse response, frequency response, and noise gain.
