Product details
Overview
LF247DT 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 ±15 V supplies, delivers ±12 V output swing into 2 kΩ, and is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C) in SO-14 package. It is used in precision instrumentation amplifiers and audio distribution circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LF247DT datasheet, LF247DT pinout, LF247DT application, or LF247DT equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset voltage drift (10 µV/°C), channel separation (120 dB), supply voltage rejection ratio (80 dB), and unity-gain stable operation with internal frequency compensation.
Technical Context
The LF247DT integrates four matched JFET-input op-amps on a single monolithic die, combining high-voltage JFETs for ultra-low input bias current and bipolar transistors for robust output drive. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail-compatible common-mode input (up to VCC+) and features latch-up free operation under transient stress.
Each amplifier provides unity-gain stability without external compensation, exhibits 4 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and maintains 45° phase margin at unity gain with 100 pF capacitive load. The device's 10¹² Ω input resistance and 15 nV/√Hz input noise enable high-impedance sensor interfacing and low-distortion signal conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±15 V - Supports dual-rail analog systems with headroom for ±12 V output swing into 2 kΩ. |
| Slew Rate | 16 V/µs (typ) - Enables faithful reproduction of fast-rising signals up to ~1 MHz at full scale. |
| Input Bias Current | 20 pA (typ) - Minimizes DC error in high-impedance feedback networks (e.g., >1 MΩ gain-setting resistors). |
| Input Offset Voltage Drift | 10 µV/°C - Ensures <130 µV total offset shift across –40°C to +105°C operating range. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | –12 V to +15 V - Accepts inputs beyond negative rail, enabling single-supply-like flexibility in dual-rail designs. |
| Channel Separation | 120 dB - Prevents crosstalk between adjacent amplifiers in multi-channel active filters or mixer stages. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 4 MHz - Supports closed-loop gains up to 40 at 100 kHz while maintaining phase margin. |
Pinout & Package
LF247DT is housed in a 14-pin plastic small-outline (SO-14) package with standard JEDEC MO-153 footprint, 1.27 mm pitch, and gull-wing leads. 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; connects to feedback network in inverting configurations. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 1) | High-impedance JFET node; referenced to ground or bias network in non-inverting applications. |
| 3 | Output (Amp 1) | Class-AB output stage capable of ±60 mA short-circuit current and ±12 V swing into 2 kΩ. |
| 4 | VCC– (Negative Supply) | Return path for all four amplifiers' internal bias and output stages; must be low-impedance. |
| 5 | Inverting Input (Amp 2) | Independent high-Z input; electrically isolated from Amp 1 per datasheet channel separation spec. |
| 6 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 2) | Matches Amp 1 input characteristics; usable for differential pair or parallel gain stages. |
| 7 | Output (Amp 2) | Identical output capability to Pin 3; supports independent loading without interaction (120 dB isolation). |
| 8 | Output (Amp 3) | Third independent output; enables triple-channel functions like RGB video buffering or 3-phase signal conditioning. |
| 9 | Inverting Input (Amp 3) | Same JFET input structure as Pins 1 and 5; matched offset and bias for multi-amp topologies. |
| 10 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 3) | Provides third high-Z input; used in cascaded filters or summing junctions with low interaction. |
| 11 | VCC+ (Positive Supply) | Power rail for all amplifiers; requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling near Pin 11 and Pin 4. |
| 12 | Inverting Input (Amp 4) | Fourth matched input; enables full quad functionality such as 4-channel audio line drivers. |
| 13 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 4) | Completes quad set; supports independent configuration (e.g., one amp as reference buffer, others as signal paths). |
| 14 | Output (Amp 4) | Final output; verified to meet same AC/DC specs as other outputs under identical load conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad JFET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L4CDR | Lower supply current (1.4 µA vs. 2.7 mA per amp); lower slew rate (0.065 V/µs); narrower temp range (0°C to +70°C). | Optimized for battery-powered, low-speed sensing-not suitable for audio or active filtering. | Select when ultra-low power dominates over speed and temperature range. |
| TL074CDR | Higher slew rate (13 V/µs); higher input bias (30 pA); same SO-14 package and pinout; no output short-circuit protection. | Widely used in audio but lacks built-in short-circuit hardening for industrial I/O protection. | Select when cost and legacy design compatibility outweigh need for fault tolerance. |
Compared with TLC27L4CDR and TL074CDR, LF247DT uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, output short-circuit protection, and 16 V/µs slew rate-making it optimal for ruggedized test equipment and factory automation signal conditioning where reliability and dynamic performance are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe supply voltage for LF247DT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is ±18 V per the datasheet. Operation at ±15 V is recommended for full specification compliance, including output swing, slew rate, and distortion. Exceeding ±15 V may degrade long-term reliability and is not guaranteed to maintain 120 dB channel separation or 10 µV/°C drift performance.
Does LF247DT require external compensation capacitors?
No. LF247DT includes internal frequency compensation optimized for unity-gain stability. Adding external compensation is unnecessary and may degrade phase margin or bandwidth. The device is characterized for stable operation with 100 pF capacitive loads at unity gain, as confirmed in the datasheet's pulse response and phase margin plots.
Can LF247DT drive a 600 Ω audio load directly?
No. LF247DT is not specified for 600 Ω loads. Its output swing drops to ±8 V into 600 Ω (per typical curves), and THD exceeds 1% above 1 kHz. For professional audio line driving, use a dedicated output buffer stage or select a driver-rated op-amp like the NE5532. LF247DT is validated for ≥2 kΩ loads.
Is the LF247DT pinout compatible with the TL074?
Yes. LF247DT and TL074 share identical SO-14 pin assignments: Pin 1 = In− (Amp 1), Pin 2 = In+ (Amp 1), Pin 3 = Out (Amp 1), Pin 4 = V−, etc. However, electrical differences-including input bias current (20 pA vs. 30 pA), slew rate (16 vs. 13 V/µs), and short-circuit protection-require validation in the target circuit before substitution.
