NE5532AP Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power supply voltage that can be used with the NE5532AP?
  The maximum power supply voltage for the NE5532AP is ±18V, but it's recommended to operate within ±15V for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
• Can I use the NE5532AP as a single-supply op-amp?
  Yes, the NE5532AP can be used as a single-supply op-amp, but it's not recommended as it's designed for dual-supply operation. If you must use it with a single supply, ensure the input common-mode voltage is within the specified range.
• How do I choose the correct gain resistors for the NE5532AP?
  Choose gain resistors that provide a total impedance of at least 2 kΩ to ensure stability. For non-inverting configurations, use a ratio of Rf/Ri ≥ 2 to maintain stability.
• What is the maximum capacitive load that the NE5532AP can drive?
  The NE5532AP can drive up to 100 pF of capacitive load without oscillation or instability. Exceeding this limit may require additional compensation or buffering.
• Can I use the NE5532AP in a high-temperature environment?
  The NE5532AP is rated for operation up to 70°C. While it can tolerate higher temperatures, its performance may degrade. For high-temperature applications, consider using a more suitable op-amp or taking thermal management measures.
