Product details
Overview
ICL7614DCSA from Maxim Integrated is a single, externally compensated, 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 photodiode transimpedance amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7614DCSA datasheet, ICL7614DCSA pinout, ICL7614DCSA application, or ICL7614DCSA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, SO-8 package terminal mapping, low-leakage design context, and validated alternative options for battery-powered instrumentation and high-impedance sensor signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The ICL7614DCSA implements external frequency compensation via a capacitor between COMP (Pin 6) and OUT (Pin 1), enabling bandwidth optimization beyond unity-gain stability - unlike internally compensated variants (e.g., ICL7611/7612). Its programmable IQ pin (Pin 7) sets quiescent current by voltage level relative to V+ and V−, directly scaling slew rate (0.016–1.6 V/µs), unity-gain bandwidth (0.044–1.4 MHz), and output sink capability while preserving rail-to-rail output swing.
Designed for ultra-high-source-impedance interfaces, it features 10¹² Ω input resistance, 0.01 pA/√Hz input noise current, and guaranteed ≤4 nA max input bias current at +125°C - enabling stable long-time-constant integration and sub-picoampere current measurement without guard-ring PCB layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical at +25°C; enables picoammeter-grade leakage performance in high-Z sensor circuits |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V dual or 2–16 V single; supports coin-cell (3 V) and industrial (±5 V) rails |
| Quiescent Current | Programmable: 10 μA / 100 μA / 1 mA via IQ pin; trades power vs. bandwidth/slew rate |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail: ±4.9 V into 1 MΩ at ±5 V supply; minimizes headroom loss in low-voltage systems |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.044 MHz (at 10 μA), 0.48 MHz (at 100 μA), 1.4 MHz (at 1 mA); scalable for precision vs. speed |
| Input Noise Current | 0.01 pA/√Hz at 1 kHz; critical for photodiode and ion-selective electrode amplification |
| Input Resistance | 10¹² Ω; ensures minimal loading on >100 MΩ source impedances (e.g., glass pH electrodes) |
Pinout & Package
ICL7614DCSA is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline (SO) package (SA code), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Amplifier Output | CMOS rail-to-rail output stage; drives ≥1 MΩ loads with <2 mV saturation margin |
| 2 (–IN) | Inverting Input | High-impedance node; connects to feedback network in transimpedance or inverting configurations |
| 3 (+IN) | Non-Inverting Input | Ultra-low-leakage input; used for reference biasing or high-Z sensor connection |
| 4 (V–) | Negative Supply | Accepts –1 V to –8 V; must be decoupled locally for low-noise operation |
| 5 (OFFSET) | Offset Null (1) | Connects to 25 kΩ pot wiper; nulls input offset voltage (15 mV max) when IQ ≥ 100 μA |
| 6 (COMP) | Compensation Node | External capacitor (≥39 pF) to OUT sets dominant pole; enables bandwidth tuning beyond unity gain |
| 7 (IOSET) | Quiescent Current Control | Voltage level selects IQ: V+ → 10 μA, mid-rail → 100 μA, V– → 1 mA |
| 8 (V+) | Positive Supply | Accepts +1 V to +8 V; supplies both input and output stages; requires local 0.1 μF bypass |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Externally Compensated Architecture | Enables bandwidth optimization beyond unity-gain stability; supports gains <1 only with external capacitor |
| Programmable Quiescent Current | Three discrete IQ settings allow precise trade-off between battery life (10 μA) and dynamic response (1 mA) |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Delivers full dynamic range from ±0.02 V of supply rails - maximizes ADC utilization in low-voltage systems |
| 10¹² Ω Input Resistance | Prevents signal attenuation in >100 MΩ source impedance applications (e.g., electrochemical sensors) |
| 0.01 pA/√Hz Input Noise Current | Minimizes current noise contribution in photodiode TIA designs where shot noise dominates |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L1CD | Fixed 10 μA IQ; no external compensation; 25 mV max VOS; 10¹³ Ω RIN; same SO-8 package | Lacks programmable bandwidth and offset null; lower VOS grade unavailable | Select when fixed low-power operation suffices and external compensation is unnecessary |
| OPA377AIDBVR | Fixed 760 μA IQ; internal compensation; 0.5 mV max VOS; 10⁶ Ω RIN; 3 MHz GBW; same SOT-23-5 footprint | Higher bias current (0.2 pA typ) but superior DC precision; incompatible pinout and compensation scheme | Select for higher-speed, lower-offset applications where input impedance >10⁹ Ω is acceptable |
Compared with TLC27L1CD and OPA377AIDBVR, the ICL7614DCSA uniquely combines externally adjustable bandwidth, three-tier quiescent current selection, and guaranteed sub-pA bias current in an industry-standard SO-8 package - making it irreplaceable for long-time-constant integrators and electrochemical sensor interfaces requiring both ultra-low leakage and tunable dynamics.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 6 (COMP) on the ICL7614DCSA?
Pin 6 (COMP) on the ICL7614DCSA is the external frequency compensation terminal. A capacitor (≥39 pF) must be connected between Pin 6 and Pin 1 (OUT) to stabilize the amplifier. Unlike internally compensated variants (e.g., ICL7611), this allows bandwidth and slew rate optimization for non-unity-gain configurations. The ICL7614DCSA datasheet specifies 39 pF for unity-gain stability; reducing capacitance increases bandwidth at the cost of phase margin.
Does the ICL7614DCSA support single-supply operation?
Yes, the ICL7614DCSA supports 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 supply rails. For single-supply use, bias the non-inverting input at mid-rail (e.g., using resistor divider) and ensure the IOSET (Pin 7) voltage is referenced correctly to set desired quiescent current.
How is quiescent current selected on the ICL7614DCSA?
Quiescent current on the ICL7614DCSA is selected via voltage applied to Pin 7 (IOSET): connect to V+ for 10 μA, to a mid-rail voltage (V– + 0.8 V to V+ − 0.8 V) for 100 μA, or to V– for 1 mA. This selection directly scales unity-gain bandwidth (0.044–1.4 MHz), slew rate (0.016–1.6 V/µs), and output sink current - enabling adaptive power/performance tuning in the ICL7614DCSA design.
Can the ICL7614DCSA be used in a picoammeter design?
Yes, the ICL7614DCSA is explicitly suited for picoammeter input stages due to its 1 pA typical input bias current (≤4 nA max at +125°C), 10¹² Ω input resistance, and 0.01 pA/√Hz input noise current. When configured as a transimpedance amplifier with guarded PCB layout and low-leakage feedback resistor, the ICL7614DCSA achieves sub-picoampere resolution - matching the requirements stated in its Applications list and General Description.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ICL7614DCSA?
ICL7614DCSA is rated for 0°C to +70°C (C temperature grade), as indicated by the "C" in its ordering code (ICL7614DCSA: D = 15 mV VOS max, C = 0°C to +70°C, SA = Small SO). It is not rated for extended industrial (–40°C to +85°C) or military (–55°C to +125°C) ranges - those require suffixes "E" or "M", respectively, such as ICL7614DESA or ICL7614DMTV.
