Sensors

Hamamatsu S6986 optical detector- E.o.L.

Op amps

Note: To simplify prototyping and design, an opamp is chosen which has both DIP and SOIC14 packages.

The TLC084 is a quad opamp, with rail-to-rail voltage output, has an output slew rate of 10V/us and 50 mA drive. (Caution: Abs max rating VDD 17V, might be susceptible to spikes? no short circuit protection?)

TLC084

NE5532 dual op amp has short circuit protection, typically 30 mA into short circuit. Abs max rating +-22V. Also, bipolar rather than biCMOS technology. Slew rate 9V/us. Caution: 0.6 volt differential input limit !

NE5532

LMC6482 dual op amp. Abs max rating +-30 mA at output pin. Not short circuit protection. Slew rate 1V/us.
