Product details
Overview
ICL7632BCSE from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-power, ultra-low-input-bias-current CMOS operational amplifier with pin-selectable quiescent current (10 μA/100 μA/1 mA per amplifier), ±1 V to ±8 V supply range, 1 pA typical input bias current, and rail-to-rail output swing - designed for high-impedance sensor interfacing in battery-powered pH meters and photodiode amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7632BCSE datasheet, ICL7632BCSE pinout, ICL7632BCSE application, or ICL7632BCSE equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, package mapping to 16-pin SOIC (SE), confirmed dual-amplifier topology, temperature-rated performance (0°C to +70°C), and real-world design trade-offs between bandwidth, power, and offset nulling capability.
Technical Context
The ICL7632BCSE implements two independent CMOS op amps in a single monolithic die, each featuring programmable quiescent current via dedicated IOC pins (Pin 5 and Pin 15), enabling dynamic optimization of unity-gain bandwidth (0.044–1.4 MHz) and slew rate (0.016–1.6 V/µs) without changing external circuitry. Input stage uses p-channel MOSFETs to achieve 1 pA typical bias current and 10¹² Ω input resistance.
It supports offset nulling via dedicated OFFSET pins (Pins 2 & 3 for Amp A; Pins 13 & 14 for Amp B), with nulling range dependent on selected IQ - fully effective at 100 μA and 1 mA, but limited at 10 μA for higher VOS grades. Common-mode voltage range varies with IQ setting: ±4.4 V at 10 μA, narrowing to ±3.7 V at 1 mA under ±5 V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1 pA typical (25°C); enables stable DC coupling with >1 GΩ source impedances in picoammeter and electrochemical sensor front-ends |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±1 V to ±8 V (or 2–16 V single-supply); supports operation from coin-cell (3 V) up to industrial rails (15 V) |
| Quiescent Current | Programmable per amplifier: 10 μA / 100 μA / 1 mA; allows trade-off between battery life and signal bandwidth |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 0.044 MHz (at 10 μA), 0.48 MHz (at 100 μA), 1.4 MHz (at 1 mA); sets usable small-signal frequency limit per IQ setting |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±4.9 V into 1 MΩ (at ±5 V, 10 μA); delivers >98% rail-to-rail swing for maximum dynamic range in low-voltage systems |
| Input Offset Voltage | 5 mV max (25°C, B-grade); matched to pH meter and precision integrator requirements where trimming is feasible |
| Input Noise Current | 0.01 pA/√Hz (1 kHz); critical for low-noise amplification of photodiode currents <100 pA |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-bias-current dual op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC1052CS8#PBF | Zero-drift auto-zero architecture; 50 nV offset, 0.1 µV/°C drift; higher supply current (170 μA), no IQ selection | Better DC precision but higher power; unsuitable for multi-day battery operation | Select when offset drift dominates system error budget and supply headroom permits >150 μA/channel |
| TLC27L2CDR | Fixed 10 μA IQ; 3 pA bias current (typ); no offset null pins; narrower supply (3–16 V single only) | Simpler layout, lower cost; lacks independent IQ control and nulling for demanding sensor calibrations | Select for cost-sensitive, single-supply designs where 3 pA bias and absence of nulling are acceptable |
Compared with LTC1052CS8#PBF and TLC27L2CDR, the ICL7632BCSE uniquely balances programmable power, guaranteed 1 pA bias, dual-channel independence, and full offset trimming - making it the only choice for battery-powered, high-precision dual-sensor systems requiring field calibration and multi-decade dynamic range.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the ICL7632BCSE?
The ICL7632BCSE is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation (C-grade temperature range). This is confirmed by its ordering suffix 'C' in the part number and aligns with the 'C Series' specification table on page 3 of the datasheet, which defines the commercial temperature grade.
Does the ICL7632BCSE support rail-to-rail input voltage?
No, the ICL7632BCSE does not feature rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode voltage range is specified as –0.4 V to +0.6 V relative to the supplies (e.g., –4.4 V to +4.4 V on ±5 V rails at 10 μA IQ), meaning inputs must stay within ~0.6 V of either rail - unlike modern RRO input op amps.
Can both amplifiers in the ICL7632BCSE be configured with different quiescent currents?
Yes. The ICL7632BCSE provides independent IQ control: Pin 5 sets quiescent current for Amplifier A, and Pin 11 sets it for Amplifier B. Each can be tied to V+, floated, or tied to V− to select 10 μA, 100 μA, or 1 mA respectively - enabling asymmetric power allocation per channel.
Is the ICL7632BCSE internally compensated for unity-gain stability?
Yes. As a member of the ICL763X triple/dual series (excluding ICL7614), the ICL7632BCSE is internally compensated and stable at unity gain across all IQ settings. No external compensation capacitor is required, simplifying layout versus externally compensated variants like ICL7614.
What is the maximum load capacitance the ICL7632BCSE can drive without instability?
The ICL7632BCSE can safely drive up to 100 pF capacitive load with 1 MΩ series isolation (as tested in slew rate and pulse response figures), but becomes prone to ringing above 500 pF. For larger loads, a 10–100 Ω series resistor at the output is recommended to maintain phase margin.
