Product details
Overview
ICL7621DCSA-T from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-power CMOS operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low input bias current (1 pA typical), programmable quiescent current (10/100/1000 µA per amplifier), and rail-to-rail output swing - operating from ±1V to ±8V or 2V–16V single supply. It serves as a precision signal conditioner in high-impedance sensor interfaces, long-time-constant integrators, and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7621DCSA-T datasheet, ICL7621DCSA-T pinout, ICL7621DCSA-T application, or ICL7621DCSA-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 pA input bias current, 15 mV max input offset voltage (D-grade), 8-pin SOIC package, and temperature range of 0°C to +70°C - critical for pH meters, photodiode amplifiers, and picoammeters where leakage and drift dominate error budgets.
Technical Context
The ICL7621DCSA-T implements a dual-channel monolithic CMOS architecture with independent quiescent current control per amplifier via external pin configuration (though fixed IQ per channel in dual variants). Its input stage uses MOSFETs with 10¹² Ω input impedance and 0.01 pA/√Hz input noise current, enabling stable operation with multi-gigaohm source impedances.
It features internally compensated unity-gain stability, rail-swing CMOS outputs (±4.8 V at ±5 V supply, RL = 1 MΩ), and programmable bandwidth/slew rate: 0.044 MHz GBW / 0.016 V/µs SR at 10 µA IQ, scaling to 1.4 MHz / 1.6 V/µs at 1 mA IQ - all while maintaining >70 dB CMRR and PSRR across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical (25°C); enables use with >1 GΩ sensors without significant DC error |
| Input Offset Voltage | 15 mV max (25°C); D-grade part supports cost-sensitive precision applications with moderate offset tolerance |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V or 2 V to 16 V single supply; accommodates coin-cell (3 V) and industrial (15 V) rails |
| Output Swing | ±4.8 V into 1 MΩ at ±5 V supply; delivers >96% rail-to-rail dynamic range for maximum signal fidelity |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.044 MHz at 10 µA IQ; sufficient for sub-10 Hz sensor conditioning and integrator time constants >10 s |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 70 dB min at 1 mA IQ; maintains accuracy in noisy industrial environments with common-mode transients |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (C-grade); validated for commercial instrumentation and portable medical devices |
Pinout & Package
ICL7621DCSA-T is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package (SA code), 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTA | Amplifier A output; rail-to-rail CMOS driver capable of sourcing/sinking ≥1 mA |
| 2 | -INA | Inverting input of Amplifier A; 10¹² Ω impedance, sensitive to PCB leakage and guarding |
| 3 | +INA | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A; matched to -INA for optimal CMRR |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail; must be decoupled locally to minimize PSRR degradation |
| 5 | V+ | Positive supply rail; accepts up to +16 V (single) or ±8 V (dual) with 18 V absolute max |
| 6 | +INB | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B; electrically isolated from Amplifier A for dual-channel operation |
| 7 | -INB | Inverting input of Amplifier B; shares same ultra-low bias current spec as -INA |
| 8 | OUTB | Amplifier B output; fully independent, with identical AC/DC specs to OUTA |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1 pA typical ensures <100 nV error from 100 MΩ source resistance at 25°C |
| Rail-to-rail CMOS output | Swings within 20 mV of rails at light loads, maximizing dynamic range in low-voltage systems |
| Programmable power/performance | Three IQ settings (10/100/1000 µA) let designers trade bandwidth (0.044–1.4 MHz) for battery life |
| High input impedance | 10¹² Ω minimizes loading on high-Z sources like glass pH electrodes and photodiodes |
| Internal unity-gain compensation | Stable at AV = 1 without external components - simplifies layout and reduces BOM count |
Applications
| pH Meter Front-End | Photodiode Transimpedance Amplifier |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: High-impedance glass electrode (≥1 GΩ) measuring H⁺ ion concentration in aqueous solution. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision DC-coupled buffer and offset-adjusted amplifier conditioning microamp-level electrode current.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1052CS8#PBF | Chopper-stabilized; 0.005 µV/°C VOS drift vs. ICL7621DCSA-T's 25 µV/°C; higher 1/f noise; 1.2 mA IQ | Better DC precision in varying temperature; less suitable for low-noise AC signal paths | Select when VOS drift dominates error budget and supply current >1 mA is acceptable |
| TLC27L2CDR | Single-supply only (3–16 V); 0.6 pA IB max at 25°C; 10 mV VOS max (A-grade); no IQ programming | Lower-cost alternative for fixed 5 V or 3.3 V systems; lacks dual-supply flexibility and IQ tuning | Select for cost-sensitive, single-rail designs where programmable IQ and dual-supply operation are unnecessary |
Compared with LTC1052CS8#PBF and TLC27L2CDR, the ICL7621DCSA-T uniquely balances ultra-low bias current, dual-supply operation, programmable IQ, and industry-standard SOIC-8 pinout - making it optimal for battery-powered, high-impedance measurement systems requiring design flexibility and proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the ICL7621DCSA-T?
The ICL7621DCSA-T has an absolute maximum total supply voltage (V+ to V−) of +18 V. It operates across a wide range: ±1 V to ±8 V dual supply or 2 V to 16 V single supply. Exceeding +18 V risks permanent damage, and operation above ±8 V or 16 V violates the specified functional range even if below absolute max.
Does the ICL7621DCSA-T support pin-selectable quiescent current like the single-channel ICL7611?
No. The ICL7621DCSA-T is a dual op amp with fixed quiescent current per amplifier - unlike the single-channel ICL7611 or triple-channel ICL7631, which feature an IQ pin for 10/100/1000 µA selection. The ICL7621DCSA-T's IQ is factory-set and not user-programmable.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the ICL7621DCSA-T at full temperature range?
For the ICL7621DCSA-T (D-grade), the input offset voltage is specified as 20 mV maximum over the full operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C. At +25°C only, it is 15 mV max - consistent with the 'D' suffix in the ordering code indicating the 15 mV (25°C) / 20 mV (full range) VOS bin.
Can the ICL7621DCSA-T drive a 10 kΩ load while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing?
Yes, but with reduced swing. At ±5 V supply and 1 mA IQ, the ICL7621DCSA-T delivers ±4.5 V output swing into 10 kΩ (90% of rails). At lower IQ (10 µA), output swing degrades significantly under 10 kΩ load - use ≥100 kΩ for optimal rail-swing performance at low power.
Is the ICL7621DCSA-T internally compensated for unity-gain stability?
Yes. The ICL7621DCSA-T is internally compensated and stable at unity-gain (AV = +1) without external components. This applies to all ICL7621 variants except those derived from externally compensated families (e.g., ICL7614), which the ICL7621 is not.
