The maximum power supply voltage for the NE5532DRG4 is ±18V, but it's recommended to operate within ±15V for optimal performance.
Yes, the NE5532DRG4 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.
Choose gain resistors based on the desired gain, input impedance, and noise considerations. A good starting point is to use 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ resistors, and adjust as needed for your specific application.
The maximum output current of the NE5532DRG4 is ±70 mA, but it's recommended to limit the output current to ±50 mA for optimal performance and to prevent overheating.
While the NE5532DRG4 can be used as a comparator, it's not the best choice due to its relatively slow slew rate and limited output current. Consider using a dedicated comparator IC for comparator applications.
