Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a standardized rating that indicates the susceptibility of electronic components, particularly semiconductors, to moisture-induced damage during storage and the soldering process, defining the allowable exposure time to ambient conditions before they require special handling or baking to prevent failures
1 (Unlimited) - Base Part Number
The "Base Part Number" (BPN) in electronic components serves a similar purpose to the "Base Product Number." It refers to the primary identifier for a component that captures the essential characteristics shared by a group of similar components. The BPN provides a fundamental way to reference a family or series of components without specifying all the variations and specific details.
LM741 - Operating Supply Current
Operating Supply Current, also known as supply current or quiescent current, is a crucial parameter in electronic components that indicates the amount of current required for the device to operate under normal conditions. It represents the current drawn by the component from the power supply while it is functioning. This parameter is important for determining the power consumption of the component and is typically specified in datasheets to help designers calculate the overall power requirements of their circuits. Understanding the operating supply current is essential for ensuring proper functionality and efficiency of electronic systems.

Nominal current is the same as the rated current. It is the current drawn by the motor while delivering rated mechanical output at its shaft.
2.8mA - Power Dissipation
the process by which an electronic or electrical device produces heat (energy loss or waste) as an undesirable derivative of its primary action.
500mW - Slew Rate
the maximum rate of output voltage change per unit time.
0.5V/μs - Amplifier Type
Amplifier Type refers to the classification or categorization of amplifiers based on their design, functionality, and characteristics. Amplifiers are electronic devices that increase the amplitude of a signal, such as voltage or current. The type of amplifier determines its specific application, performance capabilities, and operating characteristics. Common types of amplifiers include operational amplifiers (op-amps), power amplifiers, audio amplifiers, and radio frequency (RF) amplifiers. Understanding the amplifier type is crucial for selecting the right component for a particular circuit or system design.
General Purpose - Common Mode Rejection Ratio
Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) is a measure of the ability of a differential amplifier to reject input signals that are common to both input terminals. It is defined as the ratio of the differential gain to the common mode gain. A high CMRR indicates that the amplifier can effectively eliminate noise and interference that affects both inputs simultaneously, enhancing the fidelity of the amplified signal. CMRR is typically expressed in decibels (dB), with higher values representing better performance in rejecting common mode signals.
70 dB - Current - Input Bias
The parameter "Current - Input Bias" in electronic components refers to the amount of current required at the input terminal of a device to maintain proper operation. It is a crucial specification as it determines the minimum input current needed for the component to function correctly. Input bias current can affect the performance and accuracy of the device, especially in precision applications where small signal levels are involved. It is typically specified in datasheets for operational amplifiers, transistors, and other semiconductor devices to provide users with important information for circuit design and analysis.
80nA - Voltage - Supply, Single/Dual (±)
The parameter "Voltage - Supply, Single/Dual (±)" in electronic components refers to the power supply voltage required for the proper operation of the component. This parameter indicates whether the component requires a single power supply voltage (e.g., 5V) or a dual power supply voltage (e.g., ±15V). For components that require a single power supply voltage, only one voltage level is needed for operation. On the other hand, components that require a dual power supply voltage need both positive and negative voltage levels to function correctly.Understanding the voltage supply requirements of electronic components is crucial for designing and integrating them into circuits to ensure proper functionality and prevent damage due to incorrect voltage levels.
10V~36V ±5V~18V - Output Current per Channel
Output Current per Channel is a specification commonly found in electronic components such as amplifiers, audio interfaces, and power supplies. It refers to the maximum amount of electrical current that can be delivered by each individual output channel of the component. This parameter is important because it determines the capacity of the component to drive connected devices or loads. A higher output current per channel means the component can deliver more power to connected devices, while a lower output current may limit the performance or functionality of the component in certain applications. It is crucial to consider the output current per channel when selecting electronic components to ensure they can meet the power requirements of the intended system or setup.
25mA - Input Offset Voltage (Vos)
Input Offset Voltage (Vos) is a key parameter in electronic components, particularly in operational amplifiers. It refers to the voltage difference that must be applied between the two input terminals of the amplifier to nullify the output voltage when the input terminals are shorted together. In simpler terms, it represents the voltage required to bring the output of the amplifier to zero when there is no input signal present. Vos is an important parameter as it can introduce errors in the output signal of the amplifier, especially in precision applications where accuracy is crucial. Minimizing Vos is essential to ensure the amplifier operates with high precision and accuracy.
6mV - Gain Bandwidth Product
The gain–bandwidth product (designated as GBWP, GBW, GBP, or GB) for an amplifier is the product of the amplifier's bandwidth and the gain at which the bandwidth is measured.
1.5MHz - Voltage Gain
Voltage gain is a measure of how much an electronic component or circuit amplifies an input voltage signal to produce an output voltage signal. It is typically expressed as a ratio or in decibels (dB). A higher voltage gain indicates a greater amplification of the input signal. Voltage gain is an important parameter in amplifiers, where it determines the level of amplification provided by the circuit. It is calculated by dividing the output voltage by the input voltage and is a key factor in determining the overall performance and functionality of electronic devices.
106.02dB - Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)
Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is a measure of how well an electronic component, such as an operational amplifier or voltage regulator, can reject changes in its supply voltage. It indicates the ability of the component to maintain a stable output voltage despite fluctuations in the input supply voltage. A higher PSRR value signifies better performance in rejecting noise and variations from the power supply, leading to improved signal integrity and more reliable operation in electronic circuits. PSRR is typically expressed in decibels (dB).
77dB - Voltage - Input Offset
Voltage - Input Offset is a parameter that refers to the difference in voltage between the input terminals of an electronic component, such as an operational amplifier, when the input voltage is zero. It is an important characteristic that can affect the accuracy and performance of the component in various applications. A low input offset voltage is desirable as it indicates that the component will have minimal error in its output when the input signal is near zero. Manufacturers typically provide this specification in the component's datasheet to help users understand the component's behavior and make informed decisions when designing circuits.
