OPA512 issue

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OPA541

What is a good substitute for the OPA512SM and 371AM?

  • Scot

    The closest replacement we currently make is the OPA541. You will need to evaluate if this will work in your application...as per the OPA541 data sheet:

    "The OPA541 can be used in applications currently using various hybrid power amplifiers, including the OPA501,
    OPA511, OPA512, and 3573. Of course, the application must be evaluated to assure that the output capability
    and other performance attributes of the OPA541 meet the necessary requirements. These hybrid power
    amplifiers use two current limit resistors to independently set the positive and negative current limit value.
    Because the OPA541 uses only one current limit resistor to set both the positive and negative current limit, only
    one resistor such as Figure 12 need be installed. If installed, the resistor connected to pin 2 (TO-3 package) is
    superfluous, but is does no harm."
