Product details
Overview
LF412 MWC from Texas Instruments is a dual JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for precision, low-noise, and low-power analog signal conditioning in industrial and consumer systems. It delivers ±10 pA typical input bias current, 4.5 MHz gain bandwidth, 21 V/μs slew rate (VID = 1 V), ±14.95 V output swing (RL = 10 kΩ), and operates across 0°C to 70°C. It serves as a VCOM driver in TFT-LCD panels and high-side sensing amplifier.
For engineers reviewing the LF412 MWC datasheet, LF412 MWC pinout, LF412 MWC application, or LF412 MWC equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low input bias current for high-impedance sensor interfacing, FET-input noise performance (2 fA/√Hz), supply current efficiency (0.560 mA per amplifier), and SOIC-8 compatibility with legacy LF412C designs.
Technical Context
The LF412 MWC implements a matched dual JFET-input stage with internally trimmed offset voltage and low drift (±0.3 μV/°C), enabling stable DC-coupled operation in integrators and precision buffers. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (±11.5 V to +14.5 V) and delivers 130 dB large-signal open-loop gain at 25°C.
It features 540 GΩ differential input resistance and 6 TΩ common-mode input resistance, minimizing loading on high-Z sources such as piezoelectric sensors or photodiode transimpedance nodes. The device maintains 120 dB crosstalk attenuation at 1 kHz, ensuring channel isolation in dual-channel instrumentation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input bias current | ±10 pA typ - enables accurate measurement from >100 MΩ source impedances without significant error. |
| Gain bandwidth product | 4.5 MHz typ - supports stable unity-gain buffering of signals up to ~4.5 MHz with minimal phase lag. |
| Slew rate | 21 V/μs typ (VID = 1 V) - allows faithful reproduction of fast transient signals like pulse-width modulated VCOM waveforms. |
| Input offset voltage | ±0.125 mV typ - reduces DC error in precision amplification stages without external nulling circuitry. |
| Supply current per amp | 0.560 mA typ - permits dual-amplifier operation from low-power rails (e.g., ±5 V) while maintaining speed. |
| Output voltage swing | ±14.95 V typ (RL = 10 kΩ, ±15 V supplies) - delivers near-rail output headroom for dynamic range preservation. |
| Common-mode input range | −11.5 V to +14.5 V - accommodates inputs beyond negative rail, critical for single-supply high-side current sensing. |
Pinout & Package
LF412 MWC is supplied 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. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; the device uses standard SOIC land pattern per IPC-7351.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1OUT | Output, channel 1 | Low-impedance voltage source driving external load; requires local decoupling when sourcing >10 mA. |
| 1IN− | Inverting input, channel 1 | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; sensitive to PCB leakage and stray capacitance. |
| 1IN+ | Non-inverting input, channel 1 | High-Z reference point for sensor or signal source; must be guarded in ultra-low-current applications. |
| VCC− | Negative supply rail | Connects to most negative potential (e.g., −15 V); serves as return path for both amplifiers' quiescent current. |
| VCC+ | Positive supply rail | Connects to most positive potential (e.g., +15 V); powers internal bias networks and output stage. |
| 2OUT | Output, channel 2 | Independent output with identical drive capability and noise performance as channel 1. |
| 2IN− | Inverting input, channel 2 | Electrically isolated from channel 1 inputs; enables dual independent closed-loop configurations. |
| 2IN+ | Non-inverting input, channel 2 | Provides second high-impedance input node; shares same input stage topology and matching characteristics. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-input architecture | Enables ±10 pA input bias current and 6 TΩ common-mode input resistance for minimal loading of high-Z sources. |

| Low input noise current | 2 fA/√Hz typical ensures negligible current noise contribution in transimpedance amplifier configurations. |
| High crosstalk attenuation | 120 dB at 1 kHz prevents inter-channel signal coupling in dual-channel data acquisition or stereo audio paths. |

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 (120 µA/amp) but reduced GBW (1.7 MHz) and slew rate (0.045 V/μs); no specified input bias current below 100 pA. | Better suited for ultra-low-power battery monitoring than high-speed VCOM or audio buffering. | Select when quiescent current is primary constraint and bandwidth < 2 MHz suffices. |
| OPA2134PA | Higher precision (±0.5 mV VIO max), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but higher supply current (4 mA/amp) and cost; SOIC-8 pinout compatible. | Preferred for studio-grade audio or medical instrumentation where noise and distortion dominate over power. | Choose when THD+N < −105 dB and input voltage noise < 10 nV/√Hz are required. |
Compared with TLC27L2CDR and OPA2134PA, the LF412 MWC uniquely balances sub-1 nA input bias current, 4.5 MHz bandwidth, and 0.56 mA supply current in a cost-optimized SOIC-8 package-making it optimal for mid-performance industrial analog front-ends where FET-input integrity and speed coexist under tight power budgets.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LF412 MWC?
The LF412 MWC is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C, matching the commercial temperature grade of the LF412C family. It does not support extended industrial (−40°C to +85°C) or automotive ranges. This specification is confirmed in Section 3 (Description) and Table 5.2 (Recommended Operating Conditions) of the TI SLOS010C datasheet. Designers requiring wider ambient tolerance should verify thermal derating of parameters like input bias current and offset drift outside this range.
Is the LF412 MWC pin-compatible with other LF412 variants like LF412CD or LF412CP?
Yes, the LF412 MWC shares identical pinout, electrical specifications, and SOIC-8 (D) package dimensions with the LF412CD and LF412CDR variants. All use the same 8-pin configuration shown in Figure 4-1 and Table 4-1 of the datasheet. However, LF412CP (PDIP-8) has identical pin functions but different mechanical footprint and thermal characteristics-PCB layout must be adapted accordingly.
Does the LF412 MWC support single-supply operation?
The LF412 MWC supports single-supply operation with appropriate biasing: its common-mode input range extends to −11.5 V relative to VCC−, meaning it can accept inputs down to the negative rail. When powered from +5 V and ground, VCC− = 0 V and VCC+ = +5 V, allowing inputs from 0 V to +3.5 V (per VICR spec). Output swing remains asymmetric (e.g., ~0.05 V to ~4.95 V), so level-shifting or rail-splitting may be needed for true AC-coupled signals.
What is the maximum differential input voltage rating for the LF412 MWC?
The absolute maximum differential input voltage (VID) for the LF412 MWC is ±30 V, as specified in Table 5.1 (Absolute Maximum Ratings). Exceeding this risks permanent damage to the JFET input stage. This limit applies regardless of supply voltage and must be respected during power-up sequencing, fault conditions, or transient events-even if the common-mode voltage remains within range.
How does the "new die" revision affect LF412 MWC performance?
The LF412 MWC uses the modern "new die" fabrication introduced in revision C of the SLOS010C datasheet, identified by Chip Source Origin (CSO) code "RFB". It improves upon the legacy "old die" (CSO "SHE") with tighter specs: input bias current improved from 50 pA to ±10 pA typ, slew rate increased from 13 V/μs to 21 V/μs, and gain bandwidth raised from 3 MHz to 4.5 MHz-all verified in Tables 5.3 and 5.4. These enhancements directly benefit LF412 MWC's performance in high-speed and low-leakage applications.
