L2726

The STMicroelectronics L2726 is a monolithic integrated circuit designed as a low drop dual power operational amplifier. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including servo amplifiers and power supplies. The device is particularly indicated for driving inductive loads such as motors, finding applications in automotive systems, VCRs, and compact disc players.

Key electrical characteristics include a wide supply voltage range from 4V to 28V for single supply and ±2V to ±14V for split supply. It offers a DC output current of up to 1A and a peak output current of 1.5A. The amplifier features low input offset voltage, ground-compatible inputs, and low saturation voltage. Thermal management is supported by a thermal shutdown feature.

The L2726 comes in an SO-20 package and is designed for surface mounting. Its high gain and high output power capability provide superior performance where an operational amplifier/power booster combination is required. The device operates over a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

This component is well-suited for applications demanding robust power amplification, such as motor control circuits and general-purpose power supply regulation.
