Product details
Overview
LF247D from STMicroelectronics is a quad JFET-input operational amplifier with high slew rate (16 V/µs typ), low input bias current (20 pA typ), and wide common-mode input range (±11 V to +15 V). It operates from −40°C to +105°C in SO-14 package and is used in precision analog signal conditioning, audio distribution amplifiers, and bandpass filter stages.
For engineers reviewing the LF247D datasheet, LF247D pinout, LF247D application, or LF247D equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage drift (10 µV/°C), output short-circuit protection, latch-up free operation, and 4 MHz gain-bandwidth product under 2 kΩ load.
Technical Context
The LF247D integrates four matched JFET-input op-amps on a single monolithic die, combining high-voltage JFETs for ultra-low input bias current with bipolar transistors for robust output drive. Its internal frequency compensation ensures unity-gain stability without external components.
Each amplifier features rail-to-rail common-mode input capability up to VCC+, differential input voltage tolerance of ±30 V, and output short-circuit protection rated for indefinite duration at ±15 V supply. Phase margin is specified at 45°, supporting stable operation in feedback configurations up to 4 MHz.
Key Specifications

| Slew Rate | 16 V/µs typical - enables clean 100 kHz sine wave amplification with ≤1% distortion at 12 Vpp output |
| Input Bias Current | 20 pA typical at 25°C - supports high-impedance sensor interfaces without significant DC error |
| Input Offset Voltage | 3 mV max at 25°C - ensures ≤30 mV total offset across full temperature range with 10 µV/°C drift |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 4 MHz typical - allows stable closed-loop gain of 100 up to 40 kHz |
| Common-Mode Input Range | −12 V to +15 V at ±15 V supply - accommodates inputs beyond negative rail and up to positive rail |
| Output Short-Circuit Duration | Infinite - permits continuous fault-tolerant operation during transient overloads |
| Supply Current per Amp | 1.4 mA typical - enables low-power quad-amplifier operation in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
LF247D is housed in a 14-pin plastic SO (Small Outline) package, 8.55–8.75 mm wide, 5.8–6.2 mm deep, with 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amp 1) | High-impedance JFET node accepting differential signal relative to Pin 2 |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 1) | High-impedance JFET node referenced to ground or common-mode bias |
| 3 | Output (Amp 1) | Class-AB output stage capable of ±12 V swing into 2 kΩ load |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply rail connection; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling |

| 10 | Inverting Input (Amp 3) | Third differential input with identical JFET input structure and leakage behavior |
| 11 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling adjacent to Pin 11 |
| 12 | Inverting Input (Amp 4) | Fourth independent JFET input with guaranteed matching within 1 mV offset vs. Amp 1 |
| 13 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 4) | Fourth matched input enabling quad-channel synchronous signal processing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad JFET-input operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL074CDR | Lower slew rate (13 V/µs), higher input bias current (30 pA typ), same SO-14 package | Marginally lower bandwidth in fast pulse applications; acceptable for audio and general-purpose filtering | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 16 V/µs slew rate or sub-20 pA bias current |
| LF347DT | Same architecture but commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C); identical electrical specs except wider offset voltage (13 mV max) | Not qualified for extended industrial environments; unsuitable for outdoor or engine bay deployments | Choose only for consumer-grade products where ambient temperature remains below 70°C |
Compared with TL074CDR and LF347DT, LF247D provides superior thermal stability (−40°C to +105°C), tighter input offset control (3 mV max), and higher slew rate-critical for multi-channel synchronized signal paths in industrial control and test equipment.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LF247D?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is ±18 V (36 V total), but recommended operating range is ±15 V. Exceeding ±18 V risks permanent damage to internal junctions. Operation at ±15 V ensures full specification compliance for slew rate, output swing, and input common-mode range as documented in the March 2001 datasheet.
Does LF247D require external compensation capacitors?
No. LF247D features internal frequency compensation optimized for unity-gain stability. Adding external capacitors may degrade phase margin or cause oscillation. The 45° phase margin and 4 MHz gain-bandwidth product are validated with no external components in standard configurations like voltage followers or inverting amplifiers.
Can LF247D operate from a single +30 V supply?
Yes, but with constraints: the input common-mode range extends only to VCC− +15 V, so with single +30 V and ground, VCC− = 0 V and VCC+ = +30 V, limiting valid input range to 0 V to +15 V. Output swing remains ±12 V relative to mid-rail; a virtual ground at +15 V is required for bipolar signal handling.
How does LF247D compare to LF347 in PCB layout?
LF247D and LF347 share identical SO-14 footprint and pinout, allowing direct PCB replacement if temperature and offset requirements permit. However, LF247D's −40°C to +105°C rating demands stricter thermal relief design on VCC+/VCC− pads and higher-grade solder paste to prevent delamination during reflow cycling in industrial environments.
