Product details
Overview
AS321KTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is a low-power, single-supply operational amplifier with 100 dB typical open-loop gain, 60° phase margin, and rail-to-rail input common-mode range (0 V to VCC−1.5 V). It operates from 3 V to 36 V single supply (or ±1.5 V to ±18 V dual supply), draws only 0.35 mA at 5 V, and is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SOT25 package. It serves as a drop-in replacement for industry-standard LM321 in battery-powered instrumentation and active filter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the AS321KTR-G1 datasheet, AS321KTR-G1 pinout, AS321KTR-G1 application, or AS321KTR-G1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide supply voltage range, low input bias current (20 nA typ), input offset voltage (2 mV typ), and compatibility with legacy 321-based designs requiring green, lead-free packaging.
Technical Context
The AS321KTR-G1 integrates internal frequency compensation for stable unity-gain operation and delivers high DC precision with 7 µV/°C input offset drift and 70 dB typical CMRR over its full input common-mode range. Its output can source up to 40 mA and sink 15 mA while maintaining 26 V swing into 2 kΩ at 30 V supply.
Designed for single-supply operation, it supports true 0 V input capability and tolerates input voltages up to 36 V independent of VCC. The amplifier's thermal resistance (θJA = 260 °C/W) and junction temperature rating (TJ = +150 °C) enable reliable use in industrial ambient conditions up to +85 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 36 V single supply - enables direct interface with Li-ion batteries, 24 V industrial rails, and legacy 5 V logic systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV typical - ensures ≤20 mV output error in unity-gain buffer configurations at room temperature. |
| Input Bias Current | 20 nA typical - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sensor networks and RC timing elements. |
| Phase Margin | 60° - guarantees stable step response without external compensation in closed-loop gains ≥1. |
| Supply Current | 0.35 mA at 5 V - supports >1-year battery life in always-on sensor signal conditioning nodes. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC−1.5 V - allows direct sensing of ground-referenced signals in single-supply data acquisition. |
| Output Voltage Swing | 26 V into 2 kΩ at 30 V supply - delivers >86% rail utilization for analog front-end drivers. |
Pinout & Package
AS321KTR-G1 is packaged in a 5-pin SOT25 (SC-74A) surface-mount outline measuring 2.82 mm × 1.70 mm × 1.30 mm, with gull-wing leads and exposed pad thermal path (θJC = 101 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (−) | High-impedance node accepting feedback or reference signals; supports common-mode down to 0 V. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+) | High-impedance node for sensor or signal source connection; same common-mode range as Pin 1. |
| 3 | VEE / Ground | Power return for single-supply operation; must be tied to system ground or negative rail in dual-supply mode. |
| 4 | VCC | Positive supply input; accepts 3–36 V; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stability. |
| 5 | Output | Class-AB push-pull stage capable of sourcing 40 mA and sinking 15 mA into resistive loads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Lead-Free & Green Packaging | SOT25 package fully compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU), <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - meets automotive and medical environmental mandates. |
| Single-Supply Operation | 0 V input common-mode capability eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry in battery-powered sensors and portable instruments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM321DR | Higher supply current (0.8 mA typ), wider offset range (±7 mV max), non-green package | Lacks halogen-free compliance; not suitable for EU medical or automotive programs requiring RoHS 3 | Select when legacy qualification or cost sensitivity outweighs environmental compliance requirements |
| TLC321CDR | Lower input bias current (1 pA typ), but narrower supply range (3–16 V), higher cost | Unsuitable for 24 V industrial rails or 30 V battery systems due to 16 V absolute max supply rating | Select only for ultra-high-impedance pH or photodiode sensor interfaces where bias current dominates error budget |
Compared with LM321DR and TLC321CDR, AS321KTR-G1 uniquely balances green compliance, 36 V operation, and sub-1 mA quiescent current-making it optimal for next-generation industrial and portable equipment where regulatory alignment and supply flexibility are co-primary constraints.

FAQ
Is AS321KTR-G1 pin-compatible with LM321?
Yes, AS321KTR-G1 uses the identical SOT25 pinout as LM321: Pin 1 (−IN), Pin 2 (+IN), Pin 3 (GND), Pin 4 (VCC), Pin 5 (OUT). No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement, and both share identical footprint and thermal pad layout recommendations per Diodes' SOT25 datasheet.
What is the maximum output current capability of AS321KTR-G1?
AS321KTR-G1 can source up to 40 mA and sink up to 15 mA under recommended operating conditions (VCC = 15 V, TA = +25°C). At elevated temperatures or lower supply voltages, output current decreases linearly; full 40 mA sourcing is guaranteed only above 10 V supply and below +70°C ambient.
Does AS321KTR-G1 require external compensation capacitors?
No. AS321KTR-G1 is internally frequency-compensated for unity-gain stability. External compensation is unnecessary for standard inverting, non-inverting, or voltage-follower configurations. Stability testing per Figure 12 in DS36976 confirms 60° phase margin across all gains ≥1 with no added components.
Can AS321KTR-G1 operate with input voltages exceeding VCC?
Yes - the absolute maximum rating permits input voltages up to +40 V regardless of VCC, and the input structure tolerates −0.3 V below ground. However, normal operation requires input common-mode voltage between 0 V and VCC−1.5 V for specified CMRR and offset performance; inputs beyond that range degrade accuracy but do not damage the device.
