OPA211 - Typical Vn 1.1nV/rtHz, In 1.5pA/rtHz @ 1kHz, Ib 150nA max, output swing to 0.2V of rails with 600 ohm load, 3.8mA supply current. Voltage noise almost as low as AD797 with lower Ib, and really usable at +/-2.5V rails due to output swing. Looks nice for battery-powered low-noise low-impedance preamps (dymanic mic, MC phono)
just put in my sample request today. will try on my cdp.
clem_o: I would've sent you samples but I only got 3. and I need 2. is 1 enough?

Hi jarthel,
Many thanks for the thought! This was one of the few occassions that we (as in here) were a bit lucky - I got my samples some time ago!
Sadly, haven't had a chance to plunk them in to try them out - will post when I do...
Cheers!

first SMD mod ever!
Hi all 🙂
I successfuly made my first SMD swap 😎
I replaced output opamp of a cheap Samsung multiformat player that I'm playing with.
As I lack other gear to practice with, I trained myself desoldering the opamps for the 5.1outs of the same player 😀
I even develloped my own, non-destructive (I hope) method 😎
It consist of using a 5-6mm, 20AWG copper wire, pre-covered with soldering, installed across the opamp tinny legs (1-4 or 5-8, you know what I mean...). Then applying a little amount of heat and solder to get all the opamp's leads hot at the same time. Then gently lifting upwards the unit with a thin lever. Repete the same with the other side legs 😉
It allways works. PCB is intact!
I tried to measure Tº, perhaps not fast enough. The surface of the opamps never passed from 42ºC.
Actually, as someone said before, it is easier than desoldering regular devices.
Now, soldering SMD is a little more difficult.
Now that I feel brave I will upgrade my UCD's.
Maybe time to a GB, as Tubee wanted
Ah!...the sound...I am still hoping for improvement but it sounds way better than the humble JRC4560? that the unit used (the DVD has some Sony and Burr-Brown digital chips that seem quite good). First thing apparent is much less HF noise; cleaner, softer and more detailed sound. HF is extended but not aggressive. Bass is deeper (strangelly the stock DVDP has very respectable bass depth) and better articulated. Midrange is also much detailed but I find it still a little thin for my taste. Maybe all OS dacs sound like this
Anyway, the cheap Samsung P650K (?) after a few basic mods, now sounds very honest and gives space to play with clock and further caps/PS changes.
Cheers,
M

Did anyone mention the dual AD8599?
It seems to play in the same league as the LM4562, though the bandwidth is only 10MHz. But those op-amps are mostly used with low gains anyway, except in a mic preamp...
Well... and AD8676 is nice for portable applications - OP27 league, but lower quiescent current and more precise (for anyone who needs that).
So, there's quite some good new stuff to try 🙂

Hi Maxlorentz, thanks for your SMD desoldering tips.
Have a cheapo plastic Samsung DVD-VCR here too. Should place a better clock in it, it has a terrible jittery output signal (have read a test on web) I am thinking to buy a Yamaha S657 for DVD and have then SACD with it too. But for CD i still prefer my good old modded CD304mk2
Yes its time for a GB, but now only the metal cans and soic can be ordered.

tubee said:I got a message from TI too about those 2 new opamps
Besides the Opa211, like Nuvistor already said, you mean the new Opa827 with JFET input and 4.5nV/rtHz noise. (There will also be a dual Opa2827) Unfortunately, the noise corner frequency or graph of noise voltage over frequency is missing to date, also no distortion specs given...
It seems to be vaporware still, even after AD's announcement in September that it was in full production. No samples, no stock, not even a preliminary data sheet let alone a full one! Also, no DIP, no single, and no quad versions coming. I agree its probably going to be in the same league rather than a quantum leap like the LM4562 is over previous duals.Dominique said:Did anyone mention the dual AD8599?
BTW, Digikey is to have LM4562 DIPs next week.
Thanks for info markk02474 Have a nice Kenwood tuner wich uses a lot of dip's too.Digikey is to have LM4562 DIPs next week

Well, I don't see it at the product site now, but I'm pretty sure I already have a preliminary datasheet at home.
Samples are availabe via a special site... well, was it called "analog dialogue", "currents quarterly"? Don't remember, sorry!
Cheers,
Dominique
AudioNewb said:Anyone checked out the LME49710? Is this the single-channel version of the LM4562? Specs/description look similar, but I'm thrown off by the model #.
It does appear it is. It looks like the offset is slightly different, but still excellent! 🙂
AudioNewb said:Anyone checked out the LME49710? Is this the single-channel version of the LM4562?
It looks better, actually. No graphs on it, but it probably swings output voltage better than the LM4562 for those people working with greater than line-level voltages. Thanks for the tip, I just ordered 5 free samples!
seftali said:Can I replace BA4560F with LM4562?
datasheet for BA4560F
Possibly. That part has lots of drive current like a headphone amp. For applications needing lots of output, a LM4562 isn't best.
I've got 5 coming myself...I have 2 DACs that use single channel op-amps that I'm going try to upgrade.markk02474 said:It looks better, actually.

Three sample LM4562NA units arrived by UPS today and I replaced the OPA2604 in a headphone amplifier. The difference is very audible; it will take a while before I buy Op-Amps from TI again!
