CA3060E

110kHz, Operational Transconductance Amplifier Array

Description

The CA3060 monolithic integrated circuit consists of an array of three independent Operational Transconductance Amplifiers see Note. This type of amplifier has the generic characteris tics of an operational voltage amplifier with the exception that the forward gain characteristic is best described by transcon ductance rather than voltage gain open-loop voltage gain is the product of the transconductance and the load resistance, gMRL. When operated into a suitable load resistor and with provisions for feedback, these amplifiers are well suited for a wide variety of operational-amplifier and related applications. In addition, the extremely high output impedance makes these types particularly well suited for service in active filters.
