DESCRIPTION
The LM346 consists of four independent, high
gain, internally compensated, low power program-
mable amplifiers. Two external resistors (R
set
) al-
low the user to program the gain-bandwith prod-
uct, slew rate, supply current, input bias current,
input offset current and input noise. For example
the user can trade-off supply current for bandwith
or optimize noise figure for a given source resis-
tance. In a similar way other amplifier characteris-
tics can be tailored to the application.
Except for the two programming pins at the end of
the package the LM346 pin out is the same as the
LM324 and LM348.
PROGRAMMING EQUATIONS :
Total supply current = 1mA (I
set
= 10µA)
Gain bandwith product = 1MHz (I
set
= 10µA)
Slew rate = 0.5V/µs (I
set
= 10µΑ)
Input bias current
≈30nA

= 10µΑ)

For supply voltage less than ±15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Any of the amplifier outputs can be shorted to ground indefinitly; however more than one should not be simultaneously shorted as the maximum
junction will be exceeded.
