Product details
Overview
LF347BN from Texas Instruments is a JFET-input quad operational amplifier in 14-pin PDIP package, delivering 3 MHz gain bandwidth, 13 V/μs slew rate, and 50 pA typical input bias current for precision analog signal conditioning in industrial power electronics and test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the LF347BN datasheet, LF347BN pinout, LF347BN application, or LF347BN equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, thermal performance data, dual-supply operating limits (±3.5 V to ±18 V), and real-world implementation guidance for high-impedance sensor interfaces and active filter designs.
Technical Context
The LF347BN integrates four independent JFET-input op-amps on a single monolithic die, each featuring high-impedance inputs (10¹² Ω), bipolar output stages with 200-Ω short-circuit protection, and matched internal characteristics across amplifiers. Its architecture supports both single-supply (≥3.5 V) and dual-supply (±3.5 V to ±18 V) operation without functional mode switching.
Input common-mode range extends to within 4 V of either supply rail (VCC– + 4 V to VCC+ – 4 V), while output swing reaches ±13.5 V into 10-kΩ load. The device is characterized for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation and exhibits 80 dB CMRR and 80 dB PSRR in the LF347B variant, confirming its suitability for noise-sensitive instrumentation front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 3 MHz typical - enables stable unity-gain compensation and accurate wideband signal amplification up to audio frequencies. |
| Slew Rate | 13 V/μs typical - supports fast transient response in pulse amplification and active filter applications without distortion. |
| Input Bias Current | 50 pA typical at 25°C - permits use of high-value feedback resistors (>1 MΩ) without significant DC error in sensor interfaces. |
| Input Resistance | 10¹² Ω - ensures minimal loading of high-impedance sources such as piezoelectric sensors and photodiode transimpedance stages. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±3.5 V to ±18 V dual supply - accommodates standard ±5 V, ±12 V, and ±15 V industrial rails with headroom for signal swing. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VCC– + 4 V to VCC+ – 4 V - allows direct interfacing with signals referenced to supply rails in motor control feedback loops. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | 200-Ω series output impedance - limits fault current to safe levels during accidental shorts, eliminating need for external current-limiting components. |
Pinout & Package
LF347BN uses a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP) with 19.30 mm × 6.35 mm body size and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is identified by a notch or dot; leads are spaced 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) apart.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8, 14 | Amplifier outputs (1OUT, 2OUT, 3OUT, 4OUT) | Low-impedance buffered outputs capable of ±13.5 V swing into 10-kΩ loads; internally limited to 200 Ω for short-circuit protection. |
| 2, 6, 9, 13 | Inverting inputs (1IN–, 2IN–, 3IN–, 4IN–) | High-impedance JFET inputs accepting differential signals; require matched source impedances to minimize offset drift. |
| 3, 5, 10, 12 | Noninverting inputs (1IN+, 2IN+, 3IN+, 4IN+) | High-impedance JFET inputs supporting rail-to-rail common-mode range within 4 V of supplies; used for unity-gain buffers and summing nodes. |
| 4, 11 | Power supply terminals (VCC+, VCC–) | Dual-supply pins requiring local 0.1-μF ceramic bypass capacitors placed adjacent to each pin to suppress high-frequency noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low input bias current | 50 pA typical enables >10-MΩ feedback networks in precision integrators and electrometer-grade measurement circuits. |
| High CMRR and PSRR | 80 dB minimum ensures rejection of power supply ripple and common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments. |
| JFET input stage | 10¹² Ω input resistance preserves signal integrity when interfacing with high-Z sources like pH electrodes and capacitive sensors. |
| Thermal stability | 18 µV/°C input offset drift supports consistent DC accuracy over 0°C–70°C operating range without recalibration. |
| Quad amplifier integration | Four independent op-amps reduce board space and component count in multi-channel signal conditioning systems such as oscilloscope front-ends. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL074CN | Higher input bias current (30 pA typ vs. 50 pA typ), lower slew rate (13 V/μs vs. 13 V/μs), identical PDIP-14 package. | Lower cost but reduced input impedance (10¹² Ω vs. 10¹² Ω); same thermal rating (0°C–70°C). | Preferred where lower input bias is not critical and cost sensitivity dominates; requires verification of offset voltage drift in long-term measurements. |
| LF353N | Dual-channel version (vs. quad), higher gain bandwidth (4 MHz vs. 3 MHz), same 50 pA input bias and PDIP-8 package. | Requires two devices to match LF347BN channel count; smaller footprint per amplifier but higher total board area. | Select when only two amplifiers are needed per board section or when tighter layout constraints favor dual packages over quad. |
Compared with TL074CN and LF353N, the LF347BN offers optimal balance of quad-channel integration, proven JFET input stability, and industrial temperature range-making it preferred for space-constrained, multi-signal conditioning tasks where consistent input bias and thermal drift matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LF347BN?
The LF347BN is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This range is specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official TI datasheet (SLOS013C, Rev. March 2016). Operation outside this range may result in degraded electrical performance or reliability risk, and the device is not tested or guaranteed beyond these limits. For extended temperature applications, consider automotive-qualified alternatives.
Does the LF347BN support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LF347BN supports single-supply operation with a minimum total supply voltage of 3.5 V (e.g., 0 V and +3.5 V). However, its input common-mode range does not extend to the negative rail-it requires at least 4 V above VCC–, so true rail-to-rail input capability is not provided. Output swing remains asymmetric under single-supply conditions, and proper level-shifting or biasing is required for AC-coupled signals.
What is the input offset voltage specification for the LF347BN?
The LF347BN has a typical input offset voltage of 5 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of 13 mV across the full 0°C to 70°C operating range. This value is documented in Section 6.5 (Electrical Characteristics: LF347) of the TI datasheet. The LF347B variant improves this to 3 mV typical (7 mV max), but the LF347BN retains the original LF347 specification set.
How does the LF347BN handle output short circuits?
The LF347BN incorporates internal 200-Ω series output impedance that inherently limits short-circuit current, protecting the output stage without requiring external current-limiting resistors. Under sustained short-circuit conditions, power dissipation must be managed via PCB thermal design, as the device's junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 42.7°C/W in the PDIP package. Continuous shorts may trigger thermal shutdown in high-ambient environments.
Is the LF347BN pin-compatible with other quad op-amps in PDIP-14 packages?
Yes, the LF347BN uses the industry-standard 14-pin PDIP pinout defined for quad op-amps (e.g., pins 1/7/8/14 = outputs, 2/6/9/13 = inverting inputs, 3/5/10/12 = noninverting inputs, 4/11 = supplies). It is mechanically and electrically pin-compatible with TL074CN, NE5534N (dual), and LM324N (though LM324N is BJT-input with higher bias current). Functional substitution requires verifying gain-bandwidth, slew rate, and input stage compatibility for the target application.
