Product details
Overview
LF411CDR from Texas Instruments is a FET-input operational amplifier optimized for high-speed integrators, DAC interfaces, and sample-and-hold circuits. It delivers 50 pA typical input bias current, 0.5 V/µs slew rate, 4.5 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, ±14.95 V output swing (RL = 10 kΩ), and operates over 0°C to 70°C.
For engineers reviewing the LF411CDR datasheet, LF411CDR pinout, LF411CDR application, or LF411CDR equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise FET input stage performance, SOIC-8 thermal resistance (197°C/W), and compatibility with ±3.5 V to ±18 V dual-supply systems requiring precision analog signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LF411CDR implements a matched high-voltage FET input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current (50 pA typ) and high input impedance (10¹² Ω). Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation while supporting fast transient response via 0.5 V/µs slew rate and 4.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product.
Designed for dual-supply operation, it accepts ±3.5 V to ±18 V rails and maintains specified performance across 0°C to 70°C ambient. Input common-mode range extends from −11.5 V to +14.5 V with ±2 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, making it suitable for DC-coupled precision amplification and feedback control loops.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L4CDR | Lower supply current (125 µA), slower slew rate (0.035 V/µs), narrower bandwidth (1.7 kHz) | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery-operated sensors; not viable for >10 kHz signal paths | Select when power budget <200 µA dominates over speed requirements |
| OPA140AIDR | Higher precision (125 µV max VIO), lower noise (5.1 nV/√Hz), higher cost, same SOIC-8 footprint | Targeted at metrology-grade instrumentation where offset and voltage noise dominate design constraints | Select when 12-bit+ DC accuracy and sub-10 nV/√Hz voltage noise are mandatory |
Compared with LF411CDR, TLC27L4CDR trades speed and drive strength for micro-power operation, while OPA140AIDR delivers superior DC precision and voltage noise at higher cost and complexity-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve adjacent FET-input op-amp use cases.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LF411CDR?
The LF411CDR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, matching the "C" suffix grade. This commercial temperature range makes it suitable for non-automotive, non-military applications such as benchtop test equipment, industrial controllers, and consumer-grade audio signal paths. The LF411CDR does not meet extended-temperature specifications - for –40°C to +85°C operation, the LF411IDR variant must be selected.
Does the LF411CDR require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the LF411CDR features internal frequency compensation optimized for stable unity-gain operation. Its 4.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 0.5 V/µs slew rate are specified under unity-gain conditions without added external components. This eliminates layout complexity and ensures predictable phase margin in standard inverting and non-inverting configurations, as confirmed in Section 5.3 of the official TI datasheet SLOS011D.
What are the no-connect (NC) pins on the LF411CDR, and how should they be handled?
The LF411CDR has NC pins at positions 1, 5, and 8. Per TI's datasheet Table 4-1, these terminals must remain unconnected - no routing, grounding, or capacitive loading is permitted. Leaving them floating is required; intentional connection may disrupt internal biasing or cause parametric deviation. This applies strictly to the LF411CDR in SOIC-8 packaging and is not interchangeable with older JFET-based variants that used pins 1 and 5 for offset nulling.
How does the input bias current of the LF411CDR affect high-impedance sensor interfacing?
The LF411CDR's 50 pA typical input bias current directly determines DC error when interfacing with high-impedance sources like piezoelectric sensors or pH electrodes. For example, with a 10 MΩ source impedance, this bias current introduces only 0.5 µV of offset - negligible in most 12-bit systems. However, designers must still guard against PCB leakage paths, as contamination or humidity can easily exceed this level, making proper layout and conformal coating essential for achieving the LF411CDR's specified performance.
Is the LF411CDR RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, the LF411CDR is RoHS compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and carries a JEDEC MSL Level-1 rating (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), meaning it can be assembled without baking or special handling. This simplifies manufacturing flow for high-volume PCB assembly. The MSL-1 classification is verified in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM dated 20-Aug-2025 and applies specifically to the LF411CDR variant in SOIC-8 packaging.
