Product details
Overview
ICL7621BESA+ from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-power CMOS operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typical) and programmable quiescent current (10/100/1000 µA per amplifier), operating from ±1V to ±8V supplies or 2V–16V single supply. It features rail-to-rail output swing, 10¹² Ω input impedance, and 0.044 MHz unity-gain bandwidth at 10 µA IQ - ideal for pH meter front-ends and photodiode amplifiers requiring minimal input loading.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7621BESA+ datasheet, ICL7621BESA+ pinout, ICL7621BESA+ application, or ICL7621BESA+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +85°C temperature range, 8-pin SOIC package, dual-channel architecture with independent offset null capability, and verified performance in low-leakage, long-time-constant integrator, and battery-powered instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The ICL7621BESA+ implements a monolithic CMOS input stage with gate-protected p-channel inputs enabling 1 pA typical input bias current and 10¹² Ω input resistance. Its quiescent current is fixed per channel at 10 µA, 100 µA, or 1 mA depending on external voltage applied to the IOSET pin - though for the dual ICL7621 variant, IQ is factory-set and not user-programmable per amplifier.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it delivers 86 dB large-signal voltage gain (RL = 1 MΩ, ±4 V output), 80 dB CMRR and PSRR, and 0.01 pA/√Hz input noise current. Output swing reaches ±4.7 V (vs. ±5 V rails) under E-grade conditions (–40°C to +85°C) with 1 MΩ load and 10 µA IQ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical at +25°C - enables accurate measurement of picoamp-level photocurrents without signal corruption. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V or 2 V to 16 V single supply - supports operation from coin-cell batteries up to industrial rails. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.044 MHz at 10 µA IQ - sufficient for DC–44 kHz sensor signal conditioning with low power overhead. |
| Input Impedance | 10¹² Ω - preserves signal integrity when interfacing high-impedance sources like glass pH electrodes. |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±4.7 V into 1 MΩ at –40°C to +85°C - delivers >94% rail utilization for dynamic range maximization. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV max at +25°C (B-grade) - enables precision DC-coupled amplification without excessive trimming. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 76 dB min at 10 µA IQ - suppresses interference in noisy industrial or medical sensor environments. |
Pinout & Package
ICL7621BESA+ is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package (SA code), surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, with standard industry pinout compatible with dual op-amp footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +IN A | Non-inverting input of amplifier A - high-impedance node for sensor signal injection. |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input of amplifier A - used for feedback or differential sensing configuration. |
| 3 | V– | Negative supply rail - referenced to system ground in single-supply configurations. |
| 4 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - capable of sourcing/sinking current while swinging within 300 mV of rails. |
| 5 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - electrically isolated from OUT A; supports dual-channel signal processing. |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input of amplifier B - independent of amplifier A for multi-sensor or differential pair use. |
| 7 | +IN B | Non-inverting input of amplifier B - matches pin 1 functionality for second channel. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts up to +16 V in single-supply mode or +8 V in split-supply mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical ensures <100 nV error from 100 MΩ source impedance - critical for electrochemical sensors. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Swings within 300 mV of V+ and V– rails - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage battery systems. |
| Offset null capability | Dual independent OFFSET pins (pins 1 & 8 on ICL761X; not present on ICL7621 - confirmed from pin config: no OFFSET pins shown for dual variants) - wait: correction - per Datasheet Fig. 2 (Duals-ICL7621/22), there are *no* dedicated OFFSET pins. ICL7621 does NOT support offset nulling. Feature removed. |
| Fixed low quiescent current | 10 µA per amplifier (B-grade) - enables >1-year operation on CR2032 in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from ±1 V to ±8 V - accommodates both ultra-low-voltage IoT nodes and legacy industrial rails. |
| High input impedance | 10¹² Ω - prevents loading of high-Z transducers such as piezoelectric accelerometers or ion-selective electrodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-input-bias-current op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1052IS8#PBF | Chopper-stabilized, 0.5 µV max VOS, 50 fA IB, but 125 µA ISUPP - 12× higher quiescent current than ICL7621BESA+. | Superior DC precision for zero-drift applications; unsuitable for ultra-low-power battery operation. | Select LTC1052IS8#PBF only when sub-µV offset and near-zero drift outweigh power budget constraints. |
| TLC27L2CDR | CMOS, 30 pA IB (typ), 110 µA ISUPP, 1.7 MHz GBW - 30× higher bias current, 11× higher supply current vs. ICL7621BESA+. | Higher speed and cost-effective for less demanding leakage-sensitive applications. | Choose TLC27L2CDR where 30 pA bias suffices and bandwidth >100 kHz is required - not for picoamp-level signals. |
Compared with LTC1052IS8#PBF and TLC27L2CDR, the ICL7621BESA+ uniquely balances picoampere-level input bias (1 pA), micropower operation (10 µA/amplifier), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) - making it the optimal choice for long-duration, high-impedance, battery-constrained sensing.

FAQ
What is the input bias current specification for ICL7621BESA+ at room temperature?
The ICL7621BESA+ has a typical input bias current of 1 pA at +25°C, with a maximum of 4 nA at +125°C. This ultra-low value is achieved via its protected p-channel CMOS input stage and makes the ICL7621BESA+ especially suitable for interfacing with high-impedance sensors such as pH electrodes and photodiodes where leakage current would otherwise dominate signal accuracy.
Does ICL7621BESA+ support offset nulling like some other ICL76XX devices?
No, the ICL7621BESA+ does not provide offset nulling capability. Unlike the single-amplifier ICL761X series (which feature dedicated OFFSET pins), the dual ICL7621 variant omits these terminals - as confirmed by its official pin configuration diagram showing only V+, V–, two IN+/IN– pairs, and two outputs. The ICL7621BESA+ relies on its specified 5 mV max input offset voltage (B-grade) and inherent CMOS matching for DC accuracy.
What is the operating temperature range certified for ICL7621BESA+?
The ICL7621BESA+ is rated for operation from –40°C to +85°C (E-grade), as indicated by the "E" suffix in its part number and confirmed in the Ordering Information table. This industrial temperature range ensures reliable performance in outdoor instrumentation, automotive cabin modules, and uncontrolled-environment data loggers where ambient extremes are expected.
Can ICL7621BESA+ be used with single-supply configurations?
Yes, the ICL7621BESA+ supports true single-supply operation from 2 V to 16 V. Its input common-mode range extends to within 0.4 V of V– (ground) and 0.6 V below V+, and its output swings to within ~300 mV of both rails - enabling rail-to-rail signal handling in 3.3 V or 5 V systems without level-shifting circuitry. This is explicitly validated in the Electrical Characteristics tables under "Common-Mode Voltage Range" and "Output Voltage Swing".
Is the quiescent current of ICL7621BESA+ user-programmable?
No, the ICL7621BESA+ has a fixed quiescent current per amplifier - unlike the single ICL761X or triple ICL763X variants that feature an IOSET pin. The "B" grade corresponds to a factory-set 10 µA per amplifier (confirmed in Electrical Characteristics tables), and no external pin allows adjustment. This simplifies design while guaranteeing consistent low-power behavior across all units.
