Dual Low-Noise Operational Amplifier (internally compensated for unity-gain operation)
In the field of audio equipment (such as Hi-Fi speakers, headphone amplifiers, microphone pre-amplifiers), NE5532DR can accurately amplify weak signals from microphones or audio sources with its ultra-low input noise of 5nV/√Hz. Meanwhile, its high slew rate of 9V/μs can restore high-frequency audio details and avoid sound distortion. Its wide power supply range adapts to the power supply design of different audio equipment, making it a classic choice for NE5532DR audio amplification.
In industrial sensor signal processing scenarios (such as pressure sensors, temperature sensors, liquid level sensors), the 100dB high CMRR of NE5532DR can effectively filter electromagnetic interference and power noise in industrial environments, ensuring pure amplification of mV-level sensor signals. The 0°C~70°C operating temperature range adapts to conventional workshop environments, and the 24V~32V output swing can cover the signal dynamic range of most sensors, improving NE5532DR industrial sensing accuracy.
In medical instruments (such as ECG monitors, oximeters, portable diagnostic devices), the low-noise characteristic of NE5532DR can reduce interference to weak medical signals (such as ECG signals, blood oxygen signals) and ensure data acquisition accuracy. The built-in protection mechanism prevents device damage due to circuit abnormalities, meeting the strict reliability requirements of medical equipment and adapting to NE5532DR medical signal processing needs.
In the signal conditioning link of communication systems (such as RF module signal amplification, data transmission link signal shaping), the 1MHz unity-gain bandwidth and high slew rate of NE5532DR enable efficient amplification and synchronization of communication signals. Its wide power supply range adapts to the power supply schemes of base stations, routers and other equipment, and the output short-circuit protection reduces the failure risk of outdoor communication equipment, meeting NE5532DR communication signal conditioning needs.
In consumer electronics devices (such as smart bracelet sensor modules, small testing instruments), the SOIC-8 package of NE5532DR saves PCB space, adapting to the compact design of consumer electronics. The ±3V low power supply lower limit is compatible with lithium battery dual power supplies (such as two 3.7V lithium batteries in series for ±3.7V), the low quiescent current (8mA~16mA) extends device battery life, and the dual op-amp integrated design can process two signals simultaneously (such as temperature + heart rate), improving NE5532DR consumer electronics integration efficiency.
Why Choose NE5532DR ?

1. What is the equivalent input noise voltage of NE5532DR? Is it suitable for amplifying mV-level weak signals? >
NE5532DR has excellent equivalent input noise voltage performance: 5nV/√Hz (typical) at 1kHz and 8nV/√Hz (typical) at 30Hz low frequency. The extremely low noise level can effectively suppress noise interference during amplification. Even for 1mV-level weak signals (such as sensor output, microphone small signals), the signal-to-noise ratio after amplification can still be maintained above 80dB, which is fully suitable for weak signal amplification scenarios.

2. Does NE5532DR support single power supply? What is the recommended single power supply voltage range? >
NE5532DR is mainly designed for dual power supply (±3V~±20V). If single power supply is required, a voltage divider circuit is needed to use the power supply midpoint as the ground potential. At this time, the single power supply voltage range should be 6V~40V (corresponding to dual power supply ±3V~±20V), and the recommended single power supply operating voltage is 10V~30V (corresponding to dual power supply ±5V~±15V) to ensure output swing and linearity.

3. How about the output short-circuit protection function of NE5532DR? What is the maximum current during short-circuit? Will the device be damaged? >
NE5532DR has a built-in output short-circuit protection mechanism. The typical output short-circuit current is 38mA, and the maximum is 60mA. Even if the output terminal is accidentally short-circuited to ground or the power supply terminal, the device can avoid permanent damage through current limiting protection; however, it should be noted that the duration of the short-circuit state is recommended not to exceed 10 seconds, and long-term short-circuit may still cause the device temperature to be too high, so it is necessary to cooperate with the peripheral overcurrent protection circuit to optimize reliability.

4. What is the main difference between NE5532DR and SA5532DR in the same series? How to choose? >
The core performance (noise, slew rate, bandwidth) of the two is consistent, and the main difference lies in the operating temperature range: NE5532DR is 0°C~70°C (commercial grade), suitable for indoor equipment; SA5532DR is -40°C~85°C (industrial grade), suitable for extreme environments such as outdoors and high-temperature workshops. If the application scenario has a stable temperature (such as audio equipment, indoor sensors), NE5532DR is more cost-effective; if it needs to withstand low or high temperatures, choose SA5532DR.
