About this manual

The LMC6442 is a dual operational amplifier designed specifically for battery-powered systems requiring very low supply current (less than one microamp per amplifier) and rail-to-rail output swing. It operates from 2.2V to 10V, making it ideal for single lithium-ion or two-cell NiCad/alkaline battery systems used in smoke detectors, pagers, and personal communications devices.

The device features a wide common-mode input voltage range that includes ground, allowing for ground sensing applications. It is characterized by low supply current, high voltage gain, and stability for closed-loop gains greater than plus two or minus one. The LMC6442 is available in MSOP, DIP, and SOIC packages.
