Below is a classification of the amplifier products supplied by Mingjiada Electronics and their corresponding models:
1. Operational Amplifiers
Description: The most versatile and widely used type of amplifier. Used for signal amplification, filtering, mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, integration, differentiation, etc.), buffering, comparison, and more.
Common subcategories:
General-purpose: Balanced performance, low cost, suitable for general applications.
Examples: LM358, LM324, TL072, TL082, NE5532.
Precision/low offset/low drift: Minimal input offset voltage and temperature drift, suitable for high-precision measurements (sensor signal conditioning, instruments).
Examples: AD620 (instrumentation amplifier), AD8628, OPA277, OPA2188, LT1013, MCP6V01.
High-speed type: High gain-bandwidth product and slew rate, suitable for video, communications, and high-speed data acquisition.
Examples: AD8009, AD811, OPA847, THS3091, LMH6629.
Low-noise type: Extremely low input voltage noise and current noise, suitable for preamplifiers (microphones, sensors, medical devices).
Such as AD797, OPA1612, OPA627, LT1028, ADA4898.
Low-power/ultra-low-power type: Very low quiescent current, suitable for battery-powered devices and portable equipment.
Examples include MCP6001/2/4, TLV2462, LPV821, MAX44260, ADA4505.
High-voltage type: Wide operating voltage range (far exceeding ±15V), suitable for industrial control, test equipment, and power management.
Examples include OPA454, OPA548, LT1210, ADA4700.
Rail-to-rail input/output type: Input and/or output signal ranges are very close to the power supply rails (V+ and V-), suitable for low-voltage single-supply power systems.
Examples: MCP6001/2/4, TLV2462, AD8605/AD8615/AD8625, OPA365, LTC6258.
Current feedback type: Features extremely high slew rate and bandwidth, nearly independent of gain, commonly used in high-speed video and communication applications.
Examples include AD8009, AD811, THS3091, and OPA695.

2. Power Amplifiers
Description: Primarily designed to provide significant output power (current and voltage) to loads such as speakers, motors, or antennas. Efficiency is typically a key performance metric.
Common subcategories:
Audio power amplifiers:
Class AB: Traditional type, good sound quality, moderate efficiency.
Examples: LM3886, TDA2030/TDA2050, TPA3116D2.
Class D: High efficiency (switching mode), compact size with low heat generation, dominant in portable and high-efficiency applications.
Examples include TPA3116D2, TAS5611A, MAX98357, and IRS2092S (requires an external MOSFET).
RF Power Amplifiers: Operate at high frequencies (RF) for wireless communication transmit links.
Examples include GaAs/GaN PA modules or ICs for specific frequency bands (model numbers are typically strongly correlated with frequency band and power rating).

3. Instrumentation Amplifiers
Description: A high-performance operational amplifier with a special structure, featuring extremely high input impedance, extremely high common-mode rejection ratio, excellent gain accuracy, and low offset drift. Specifically designed for precise amplification of weak differential signals (especially in the presence of strong common-mode interference), such as sensor outputs (strain gauges, thermocouples, bridges).
Representative models: AD620, AD623, AD8221, INA128, INA333, LT1167, MCP6N11.

4. Comparators
Description: Although strictly speaking they do not ‘amplify’ signals (outputs are typically digital levels), they are often discussed alongside amplifiers in terms of functionality. They are used to compare two input voltages, with the output indicating which voltage is higher. Speed is a key factor.
Representative models: LM393 (dual-channel), LM339 (quad-channel), LM311, MAX902/MAX903, ADCMP600.

5. Differential Amplifiers
Description: Amplifies the difference between two input signals. Its structure is simpler than that of an instrumentation amplifier, with performance metrics (such as CMRR) typically lower than those of an instrumentation amplifier, and lower cost. It can be used for level conversion, single-ended to differential conversion, etc.
Representative models: INA133, INA143, AD8276, LT1990, THS4521 (FDA - fully differential amplifier, commonly used as a high-speed ADC driver).
