Description
These are genuine DIP8 – CA3080AE-G OTA Chips, made by Rochester Electronics. The AE-G version is RoHs Compliant.
It was thought that the CA3080 was to become obsolete after Intersil announced they would discontinue manufacturing, however Rochester Electronics managed to acquire the remaining ‘wafer’ stock and are re-issuing the chips. These are not ‘New Old Stock’ but recently manufactured, yet they remain true to the specs and performance of the original chips without improvement.
