Op Amp array IC
« on: August 03, 2018, 11:28:52 am »
Is there some IC that have huge number of tiny op amps? The more the better.

I dare to say no since i also want tiny opamps for making 2 pole PWM filter buffers.

Application-specific, very expensive arrays do exist. If you are after general purpose and low cost, it's hard to beat using cheapest jellybean quads or duals in the smallest SMD package you can find.

i'm afraid so :(
i was able to find 8/16 channels buffer amplifiers that in reality were just common colloctor buffers. Pity.
I am sure there are some strange unobtainable automotive parts but that is not of help.

Well with an opamp you always need 3 connections.
So the amount of pins adds up.

Depending on the application a DSP would be an easier choice nowadays.

with a buffer you only need two pins. bonus if placed in a logical manner like ULN2003

There is something like an FPGA, but with configurable op-amps instead of configurable logic. They are called FPAA.

Does anybody know which FPAA can have most op amps active at same time? I would prefer to have ball grid array with gazillion bajillion metrik funktonillion pins for maximum number of active op amps at same time.

What do you actually need to do with all these opamps?

The company best known for this kind of thing is Anadigm.

No affiliation.

I would prefer to avoid disclosing that information. 8)
