Hi there,
Since some of you are using very popular audio op amp NE5532 in your audio projects, please be aware that Texas Instruments just changed spec of this 45-year old part, NE5532,
without changing part number.
Crucial negative spec sheet changes:
• LOWERED Slew rate from 9V/μs to 5V/μs
• LOWERED Max Supply voltage positive and negative from 22V to 18V
• LOWERED HBM value from 2000V to 1000V
• REMOVED from spec: Maximum peak-to-peak output voltage swing, Small-signal differential-voltage amplification, Maximum output-swing bandwidth, Output impedance, Crosstalk attenuation, Overshoot factor
Positive spec sheet changes:
+ Changed Unity-gain bandwidth from 10MHz to 12MHz
+ Changed Input voltage positive and negative from –10V and +10V to –15V and +15V
+ Changed Storage temperature range from –35°C and +150°C to –60°C and +125°C
+ Changed Supply current value from 8mA to 6mA
They changed spec of other parts too, again without changing part number . Just heads up for those who may rely on these parts

Texas Instruments Changes The NE5532 And Others Into Incompatible Versions
First introduced in 1979 by Signetics, the NE5532 was a pretty spiffy dual op-amp for the time with low noise and low distortion. Over the years it has become a standard part that showed up in coun…
