>People were discussing alternatives for LM324's recently for 5v single
>supply operation.
>There are a number of single supply amps available on the market.
>Many sacrifice rail to rail for performance.
>Here's one which is a much better performer than the LM324 but which
>operates on a maximum of 5.25 volts "Vcc" and down to around 2 volts.
>Gain bandwidth is 10+ MHz and slew rate is 10V/uS plus. Makes a LM324 look
>very very slow (which it is)
>These come in single / dual / quad versions.
>The only bad thing I can see about them is the price - in ones they are
>from $US2.58 for the single to $US6.40 for the quad (cheapest version of
>each).
