The MIC6211 is a general purpose amplifier patterned after the industry workhorse LM324, and was chosen to bring the benefits of micro-miniature packaging to general purpose products. Unlike the quad LM324, the MIC6211 is a single amplifier. Micrel's IttyBitty packaging allows more than four amplifiers to occupy the space currently occupied by the quad's conventional packaging. Delivery for the production volumes is four to six weeks after receipt of order.
Samples are available now.
The presentations are part of a five-day program of tutorials, seminars, lectures, and workshops on PCB design technology.
