Product details
Overview
ICL7611DCPA from Maxim Integrated is a single, ultra-low-input-bias-current CMOS operational amplifier with pin-selectable quiescent current (10 μA/100 μA/1 mA), ±1 V to ±8 V dual-supply operation (or 2–16 V single supply), 1 pA typical input bias current at +25°C, and rail-to-rail output swing within millivolts of supply rails - ideal for pH meter front-ends and picoammeter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7611DCPA datasheet, ICL7611DCPA pinout, ICL7611DCPA application, or ICL7611DCPA equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping, functional alternatives, and design-critical context for low-leakage analog signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and high-impedance sensor interfaces.
Technical Context
The ICL7611DCPA implements a monolithic CMOS architecture enabling programmable quiescent current via the IOSET pin, directly scaling unity-gain bandwidth (0.044–1.4 MHz) and slew rate (0.016–1.6 V/µs) while maintaining 10¹² Ω input impedance and 0.01 pA/√Hz input noise current.
It features internal frequency compensation for stable unity-gain operation, offset null capability via dedicated OFFSET pins, and extended common-mode voltage range (±5.3 V at IQ = 10 μA for ICL7611 variant), supporting precision DC-coupled amplification in low-power, high-source-impedance topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical at +25°C - enables accurate integration and measurement with >1 GΩ source impedances without significant error drift |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V dual or 2–16 V single - supports operation from coin-cell batteries up to industrial rails |
| Quiescent Current Options | 10 μA / 100 μA / 1 mA - selectable via IOSET pin to trade power vs. bandwidth/slew rate per application need |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±4.8 V min (RL = 1 MΩ, VSUPP = ±5 V, TA ≤ +70°C) - delivers >96% rail utilization for maximum dynamic range |
| Input Offset Voltage | 15 mV max (TA ≤ +70°C) - specified for D-grade, enabling cost-sensitive low-drift designs with external nulling |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.4 MHz at IQ = 1 mA - sufficient for kHz-range sensor signal conditioning with minimal phase lag |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 70 dB min at IQ = 1 mA - ensures stability against supply and reference noise in single-supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
ICL7611DCPA is housed in an 8-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) with industry-standard pinout compatible with legacy op-amp footprints. Pin 7 is internally connected to the case (ground reference).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OFFSET (pin 1) | Offset null connection - used with external potentiometer to trim input offset voltage |
| 2 | −IN | Inverting input - high-impedance CMOS node for feedback or differential sensing |
| 3 | +IN | Non-inverting input - accepts high-Z sensor signals (e.g., pH electrode, photodiode) |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail - referenced to system ground in single-supply configurations |
| 5 | IOSET | Quiescent current select - voltage level sets IQ to 10 μA, 100 μA, or 1 mA |
| 6 | OUTPUT | Amplified output - rail-to-rail capable, drives loads ≥10 kΩ at full IQ settings |
| 7 | Case/Ground | Internally tied to package case - provides EMI shielding and thermal path in DIP package |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts up to +16 V in single-supply mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typ. enables femtoampere-level current measurement without guard-ring PCB layout |
| Programmable quiescent current | Three discrete IQ settings allow precise optimization of power vs. speed for battery life or response time |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Swings within <10 mV of V+ and V− - maximizes usable signal range in low-voltage systems |
| Internal unity-gain compensation | Stable at AV = 1 without external components - simplifies design for follower and gain-of-one buffers |
| Offset null capability | Dedicated OFFSET pins support <50 µV residual offset after trimming - critical for DC precision applications |
Applications
| pH Meter Front-End | Picoammeter Circuit |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-bias-current op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L1CP | Fixed 10 μA IQ, no programmability; 20 pA IB (typ), 10× higher than ICL7611DCPA | Limited to lower-impedance sources (<10 MΩ); unsuitable for picoammeter or pH electrode use | Select only when IB <10 pA is not required and pin count/layout compatibility is prioritized |
| OPA376AIDBVR | 25 nA IB (typ), 50× higher; 5.5 MHz GBW, 1000× faster; fixed 760 μA IQ | Better for AC-coupled, higher-speed biosensors but incompatible with femtoampere DC measurements | Choose for wideband sensor interfaces where ultra-low IB is secondary to bandwidth and noise performance |
Compared with TLC27L1CP and OPA376AIDBVR, the ICL7611DCPA uniquely delivers 1 pA input bias current with programmable IQ and rail-to-rail output in an 8-pin DIP - making it irreplaceable for DC-stable, ultra-high-impedance analog front-ends where leakage dominates error budgets.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the ICL7611DCPA?
The ICL7611DCPA has an absolute maximum total supply voltage (V+ to V−) of +18 V. It operates over a recommended range of ±1 V to ±8 V dual supply or 2–16 V single supply. Exceeding +18 V risks permanent damage, and operation near absolute maxima requires careful thermal derating per the 2 mW/°C dissipation limit for its 8-pin plastic DIP package.
How is quiescent current selected on the ICL7611DCPA?
The ICL7611DCPA uses its IOSET pin (Pin 5) to select quiescent current: connect to V+ for 10 μA, to a voltage between V− + 0.8 V and V+ − 0.8 V for 100 μA, or to V− for 1 mA. This selection directly scales unity-gain bandwidth and slew rate while preserving rail-to-rail output swing and ultra-low input bias current in all modes.
Does the ICL7611DCPA require external frequency compensation?
No - the ICL7611DCPA is internally compensated for stable unity-gain operation. Unlike the ICL7614 variant, it does not require an external capacitor between COMP and OUT pins. Its compensation is fixed and optimized for AV ≥ 1, eliminating layout complexity and component count in standard buffer and gain-of-one configurations.
Can the ICL7611DCPA be used in single-supply configurations?
Yes - the ICL7611DCPA supports true single-supply operation from 2 V to 16 V. Its input common-mode range extends to within 0.4 V of V− and 0.6 V of V+, and its rail-to-rail output swings to within millivolts of both rails. For optimal DC performance, tie V− to ground and bias inputs appropriately using reference dividers or charge pumps.
What is the purpose of the OFFSET pins on the ICL7611DCPA?
The OFFSET pins (Pins 1 and 5 in DIP configuration) allow external nulling of input offset voltage using a 25 kΩ potentiometer (wiper to V+). This feature enables residual VOS reduction below 50 µV - essential for precision DC amplification in applications like pH meters and low-drift integrators where offset drift must be minimized over temperature and time.
