Product details
Overview
LF412CDRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for precision, low-noise, and low-power applications. It delivers ±10 pA typical input bias current, 4.5 MHz gain bandwidth, 21 V/μs slew rate (VID = 1 V), and operates over 0°C to 70°C. It serves as a high-impedance buffer in A/D converters and VCOM drivers for TFT-LCD panels.
For engineers reviewing the LF412CDRG4 datasheet, LF412CDRG4 pinout, LF412CDRG4 application, or LF412CDRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its FET-input architecture, rail-to-rail output swing capability (±14.95 V at RL = 10 kΩ), low 0.560 mA per-amplifier supply current, and SOIC-8 packaging compatible with industrial and display timing signal conditioning.
Technical Context
The LF412CDRG4 uses a matched dual JFET-input stage enabling ultra-low input bias and offset currents, internally trimmed for ±0.125 mV max input offset voltage and ±0.3 μV/°C drift. Its high 540 GΩ differential input resistance and 6 TΩ common-mode input resistance support high-impedance sensor interfacing without loading.
It features 130 dB large-signal open-loop gain (25°C), 100 dB CMRR and PSRR across DC–1 MHz, and 2 fA/√Hz input noise current - making it suitable for precision integrators, sample-and-hold circuits, and high-side sensing where leakage and noise must be minimized.
Key Specifications

| Input bias current | ±10 pA typ - enables accurate measurement of nanoamp-level source currents without significant error. |
| Gain bandwidth product | 4.5 MHz typ - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~400 kHz with unity-gain stability. |
| Slew rate | 21 V/μs typ (VID = 1 V) - allows fast settling for video-rate or pulse-based analog signals. |
| Input offset voltage | ±0.125 mV typ - reduces DC error in precision amplification and instrumentation front-ends. |
| Supply current per amp | 0.560 mA typ - enables dual-channel operation below 1.2 mA total, ideal for battery-powered systems. |
| Common-mode range | −11.5 V to +14.5 V (±15 V supplies) - accommodates wide dynamic input signals near supply rails. |
| Output voltage swing | ±14.95 V min (RL = 10 kΩ) - delivers >99% of rail-to-rail swing for maximum dynamic range. |
Pinout & Package
LF412CDRG4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch and 1.75 mm max height. The package is RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaged (2500 units/reel), and rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Output, channel 1 | Low-impedance buffered output capable of sourcing/sinking ≥40 mA (typical short-circuit current). |
| 1IN− | Inverting input, channel 1 | Differential input node with 540 GΩ resistance; sensitive to PCB leakage and guarding requirements. |
| 1IN+ | Non-inverting input, channel 1 | High-impedance node requiring symmetric layout and guard traces to minimize offset drift. |
| VCC− | Negative supply rail | Connects to lowest potential (e.g., −15 V); sets lower common-mode limit and output swing floor. |
| VCC+ | Positive supply rail | Connects to highest potential (e.g., +15 V); defines upper common-mode and output swing ceiling. |
| 2OUT | Output, channel 2 | Independent output with crosstalk attenuation >120 dB at 1 kHz - enables dual-channel isolation. |
| 2IN− | Inverting input, channel 2 | Matched to channel 1 for common-mode rejection; shares same bias current specs and noise performance. |
| 2IN+ | Non-inverting input, channel 2 | Electrically identical to 1IN+; supports independent dual-amplifier configurations without interaction. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual FET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC27L2CDR | Lower supply current (125 µA/amp), but only 1.7 MHz GBW and 0.03 V/μs slew rate. | Better for ultra-low-power battery monitoring; unsuitable for video-rate or fast-settling apps. | Select when power budget <250 µA total and bandwidth <100 kHz suffices. |
| OPA2134PA | Higher precision (±0.5 mV VIO max), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but 2.2 mA/amp supply current. | Preferred for audio-grade THD+N (<0.00008%) and low-voltage single-supply designs. | Choose when SNR >110 dB and distortion performance outweigh power constraints. |
Compared with TLC27L2CDR and OPA2134PA, the LF412CDRG4 uniquely balances sub-1 mA total supply current, 4.5 MHz bandwidth, and ±10 pA bias current - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-speed precision analog signal chains where leakage and power co-constrain design.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the LF412CDRG4?
The LF412CDRG4 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade rating aligns with its intended use in non-automotive, non-military applications such as display drivers and industrial instrumentation. The device's input offset drift (±0.3 μV/°C) and bias current behavior are guaranteed across this full range, and thermal derating of power dissipation applies above 70°C.
Does the LF412CDRG4 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LF412CDRG4 supports single-supply operation with VCC+ referenced to ground and VCC− tied to ground (or a negative rail generated via charge pump). Its common-mode input range extends to within 1.5 V of either rail, and output swing reaches within 50 mV of each supply under light load. For true rail-to-rail input/output, external level-shifting or a dedicated RRIO op-amp is required - the LF412CDRG4 is not RRIO.
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the LF412CDRG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage rating for the LF412CDRG4 is ±18 V (i.e., VCC+ ≤ +18 V, VCC− ≥ −18 V). However, the recommended operating condition specifies ±3.5 V to ±18 V. Operation at ±18 V is permissible but increases quiescent current and thermal stress; for most applications, ±15 V provides optimal trade-off between output swing, power, and reliability. Exceeding ±18 V risks permanent damage.
How does the LF412CDRG4 differ from older LF412 variants like the LF412CP?
The LF412CDRG4 uses TI's modern "new die" fabrication with improved parameters: ±10 pA input bias current (vs. ±50 pA old die), 21 V/μs slew rate (vs. 13 V/μs), and ±0.125 mV input offset voltage (vs. 1 mV). Both share identical SOIC-8 pinout and electrical compatibility, but the new die (CSO = RFB) offers tighter specifications and enhanced consistency across temperature - confirmed in revision C of the SLOS010C datasheet.
Is the LF412CDRG4 suitable for driving capacitive loads such as LCD panel electrodes?
Yes - the LF412CDRG4 exhibits stable phase margin into ≥100 pF loads when properly compensated (e.g., with a 10–47 Ω series resistor at the output). Its 4.5 MHz GBW and 21 V/μs slew rate enable fast settling for VCOM updates in 60 Hz–240 Hz refresh-rate displays. Application note SLOA060 confirms stable operation into 200 pF with minor peaking; for >500 pF, external compensation is advised to avoid oscillation.
