M5238 data sheets???

[Christer]

My CDP uses M5238 op amps in the I/V stage. Before replacing
them I would at least want to know what they actually are, but
I have failed to find data sheets for them. I know the pinout and
they seem to be low-noise JFET input, probably manufactured
by Mitsubishi (but they seem not to make op amps ).
I have also found a cross-reference table which suggest they
may be equivalent to NJM2082, for which I have data sheets.

Can somebody fill in with more data about these op amps, or
even supply (a link to) the data sheet?


Thanks in advance

Only found this link:

I know them and replacing them by another Fet input type like OPA2604 / OP275 / OPA2134 will be better for your ears.

Thanks Jean-Paul,

that at least seconds the info that it is equivalent to NJM2082.
The low-noise claim I found somewhere seems not quite correct
then. Anyway, OPA2134 and OPA2604 are the ones I intended
to try for a start. I don't really know what parameters may be
most important for I/V-conversion?

BTW, it was listed as a Mitsubishi IC in your ref. too. Yet when
checking the web pages of Mitsubishi Semiconductors, they
seem not to make any op amps at all. Strange.

Thanks Netlist.

I am afraid i already had the info you provided, however. I think
I did say I have the NJM2082 data sheet. I don't know how
close equivalents the two circuits are, though.

For I/V I would use the fastest opamp I could find if it has to be an opamp. Maybe LM6172 will do at this spot ? It is bipolar though but offset is relative low.
