ON Semiconductor has introduced seven devices designed for high-definition video applications. These operational amplifiers use new technologies to achieve the low distortion required in video circuit designs. This family of NCS25xx high-speed op-amps enable designers to realize unprecedented bandwidth, output power and noise performance, without a cost trade off. These 0.5 GHz to 1.4 GHz devices enable video designers to realize a 0.02% differential gain and 0.02 degree differential phase performance, while consuming no more than 12 milliamperes of current.

The 1.4 GHz NCS2510 and the 1.0 GHz NCS2511 are current feedback devices. The NCS2511 consumes only 7.5 milliamperes of current vs. 12 milliamperes for the NCS2510. Both devices are offered in a TSOP-5/SOT-23-5 package. The NCS2510 and NCS2511 are priced at $1.40 and $1.25, respectively, in quantities of 3000.

The NCS2535 and NCS2540 are triad op-amps. The NCS2535 is a 1.4 GHz current feedback device with disable, while the NCS2540 is a 750 MHz voltage feedback device with disable. Both devices are offered in a TSSOP-16 package. The NCS2535 and NCS2540 are priced at $1.90 and $1.75, respectively, in quantities of 3000.

The NCS2550 and NCS2552 are 750 MHz voltage feedback devices. The NCS2552 comes with an ultrafast enable feature with turn-on occurring in approximately five nanoseconds. The NCS2550 is offered in a TSOP-5/SOT-23-5 package, while the NCS2552 is offered in the TSOP-6/SOT-23-6 package. The NCS2550 and NCS2552 are priced at $1.35 and $1.40, respectively, in 3000-unit quantities.

The NCS2551 is a 500 MHz voltage feedback device with a slew rate of 1400 Volts per microsecond, yet it consumes only 5.5 milliamperes of current. The NCS2551 is offered in a TSOP-5/SOT-23-5 package and is priced at $1.25 in 3000-unit quantities.
