Texas Instruments introduced the operational amplifier OPA567 designed for driving a wide variety of loads while operating on low-voltage supplies. This unity gain stable device has rail-to-rail swing on the input and output. The output swing is within 300mV of the supply rails with output current of 2A. Lower-current loads allow an output swing closer to the rails. The op amp is ideal for driving valves, actuators, laser diode pumps and servo motors. Other applications include thermoelectric coolers, synchro drivers and transducer excitation. The OPA567 is available in a Pb-free QFN-12 package (5mm x 5mm). The device is priced at $1.85 in 1,000 piece quantities (suggested resale pricing) and is available now from TI and its authorized distributors.
