Product details
Overview
ICL7632ECSE from Maxim Integrated is a dual, low-power CMOS operational amplifier with pin-selectable quiescent current (10μA/100μA/1mA per amplifier), ultra-low input bias current (1pA typical), and rail-to-rail output swing within millivolts of supply rails. It operates from ±1V to ±8V or 2V–16V single supply and is optimized for high-impedance sensor interfaces such as pH meters and photodiode amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the ICL7632ECSE datasheet, ICL7632ECSE pinout, ICL7632ECSE application, or ICL7632ECSE equivalent, key selection criteria include its programmable IQ, 1pA bias current, 10¹²Ω input impedance, ±4.8V output swing at ±5V supply (C-temp), and compatibility with battery-powered, low-leakage, and long-time-constant integrator designs.
Technical Context
The ICL7632ECSE implements a monolithic CMOS architecture enabling ultra-low input bias current and programmable quiescent current via external voltage applied to the IOC SET pin. Its dual-channel design supports independent gain configurations per amplifier, with internal unity-gain compensation eliminating need for external components in most applications.
It features offset null capability on both channels using dedicated OFFSET pins, and delivers stable operation across wide common-mode voltage ranges (±4.4V at IQ = 10μA) while maintaining 120dB channel separation-critical for multi-amplifier signal conditioning in precision analog front-ends.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 1pA typical - enables accurate measurement of picoamp-level currents in photodiode/pH sensor circuits |
| Quiescent Current | Programmable: 10μA / 100μA / 1mA per amp - allows dynamic trade-off between power and bandwidth (GBW = 0.044/0.48/1.4 MHz) |
| Input Impedance | 10¹²Ω - preserves signal integrity when driving from high-impedance sources like glass electrodes |
| Output Swing | ±4.8V @ ±5V supply, RL = 1MΩ - delivers >96% rail-to-rail dynamic range for maximum ADC utilization |
| Supply Range | ±1V to ±8V or 2V–16V single - supports direct integration into 3.3V, 5V, and 12V industrial/battery systems |
| Channel Separation | 120dB - prevents crosstalk in dual-channel instrumentation (e.g., differential sensor pairs) |
| Offset Voltage | 5mV max (B-grade) - ensures <0.1% gain error in unity-gain buffer configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power CMOS op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L2CDR | Fixed 10μA IQ; no programmable current; 10mV VOS max (C-grade); 10¹³Ω input impedance | Lacks IOC SET pins - unsuitable where dynamic IQ adjustment is required | Select if fixed ultra-low power is sufficient and offset nulling is not needed |
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture; 0.02μV/°C VOS drift; 25pA IB; 36μA IQ (fixed); 1.8V–5.5V supply only | Superior DC precision but higher power and narrower supply range than ICL7632ECSE | Select for microvolt-level DC stability in medical diagnostics where supply is ≤5.5V |
Compared with TLC27L2CDR and OPA2333AIDR, the ICL7632ECSE uniquely combines programmable IQ, dual independent offset null, and ±8V operation - making it the only choice for battery-powered, wide-supply, high-impedance analog systems requiring field-tunable performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the ICL7632ECSE?
The ICL7632ECSE has an absolute maximum total supply voltage (V+ to V−) of +18V. It operates safely across ±1V to ±8V dual supplies or 2V to 16V single supplies. Exceeding ±8V or 16V risks permanent damage, and operation above +18V violates Absolute Maximum Ratings regardless of configuration.
Does the ICL7632ECSE support rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage?
No, the ICL7632ECSE does not support rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode voltage range is specified as −4.0V to +4.4V (at ±5V supply, IQ = 10μA), meaning inputs must stay ≥0.6V below V+ and ≥0.4V above V−. This limitation applies across all IQ settings and temperature ranges per the datasheet Electrical Characteristics table.
How do I configure the quiescent current for each amplifier in the ICL7632ECSE?
Each amplifier's quiescent current is set independently via its IOC SET pin: connect pin 2 (IOC SET A) or pin 10 (IOC SET B) to V+ for 10μA, to a voltage between V− + 0.8V and V+ − 0.8V for 100μA, or to V− for 1mA. These connections must be made externally with stable DC bias - no internal pull-ups or pull-downs are provided.
Can the ICL7632ECSE be used in a single-supply configuration with ground-referenced inputs?
Yes, the ICL7632ECSE supports true single-supply operation down to 2V. With V− tied to ground and V+ at 3.3V or 5V, inputs can operate from 0.4V to 2.9V (for 3.3V supply) - well within typical sensor output ranges. Output swings to within 20mV of ground and V+, enabling full-scale use of 12-bit ADCs without level-shifting.
What is the purpose of pins 11 (+INC) and 12 (−INC) on the ICL7632ECSE?
Pins 11 and 12 are No Connect (N.C.) terminals - they have no internal bond wire or circuit connection. The datasheet explicitly states "+INC" and "−INC" as not connected. These pins may be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical stability, but must never be driven or used as signal paths, as they provide zero functional benefit.
