Product details
Overview
LM224D from STMicroelectronics is a quad low-power operational amplifier in SO14 package, designed for single-supply operation from 3 V to 30 V or dual supplies ±1.5 V to ±15 V. It delivers 1.3 MHz gain bandwidth, 100 dB large-signal voltage gain, and input common-mode range extending to ground - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered sensor interfaces and industrial analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LM224D datasheet, LM224D pinout, LM224D application, or LM224D equivalent, key selection criteria include its 375 µA/amplifier supply current, 20 nA input bias current, 3 mV max input offset voltage (LM224A variant), rail-to-rail output swing capability, and robust ESD rating (250 V HBM).
Technical Context
The LM224D implements internally compensated voltage-feedback topology with PNP input stage, supporting true single-supply operation where the input common-mode voltage includes ground. Its open-loop gain remains stable across temperature (–40 °C to +105 °C) and supply voltage (3–30 V), with thermal resistance of 103 °C/W (SO14) ensuring reliable performance in compact PCB layouts.
Each of the four independent amplifiers features unity-gain-stable operation, 0.4 V/µs slew rate, and output drive capability of ±40 mA (source/sink), with channel separation >120 dB at 1 kHz - critical for multi-channel instrumentation and mixed-signal systems requiring minimal crosstalk.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.3 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain up to ~100× at 10 kHz without phase margin loss |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 5 mV @ 25 °C - sets minimum resolvable DC signal difference in precision amplification |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 375 µA - enables ultra-low-power operation in always-on sensor nodes and portable devices |
| Input Bias Current (typ) | 20 nA - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance source networks (e.g., pH sensors, photodiodes) |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC – 1.5 V - allows direct interfacing with ground-referenced transducers and ADC drivers |
| Output Short-Circuit Duration | Infinite - permits safe operation under sustained overload without latch-up or damage |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 250 V - meets basic industrial handling requirements; not automotive-grade |
Pinout & Package
LM224D is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (SO14) package with standard 1.27 mm pitch, 8.75 mm × 4.0 mm body size, and exposed pad not present (unlike QFN variant). Pin 4 is VCC– (ground in single-supply mode), Pin 11 is VCC+, and each amplifier has dedicated inverting/non-inverting inputs and output pins arranged per industry-standard quad op-amp layout.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output A | Amplifier A output; capable of sourcing/sinking ±40 mA into resistive loads |
| 2 | Inverting Input A | Differential input node for channel A; accepts signals down to ground level |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input A | Reference input for channel A; matched bias current minimizes offset drift |
| 4 | VCC– / GND | Negative supply rail; used as ground reference in single-supply configurations |
| 5 | Non-inverting Input B | Channel B positive input; electrically isolated from other channels |
| 6 | Inverting Input B | Channel B negative input; supports differential gain configurations |
| 7 | Output B | Amplifier B output; identical drive strength and voltage swing to Pin 1 |
| 8 | Output C | Amplifier C output; shares same thermal and supply characteristics as other outputs |
| 9 | Inverting Input C | Channel C inverting input; compatible with active filter and integrator topologies |
| 10 | Non-inverting Input C | Channel C non-inverting input; supports high-Z buffer and summing applications |
| 11 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; operates from 3 V to 30 V; decoupling required near Pin 11 |
| 12 | Non-inverting Input D | Channel D reference input; enables independent signal conditioning paths |
| 13 | Inverting Input D | Channel D differential input; supports DC-coupled comparator and threshold detection |
| 14 | Output D | Amplifier D output; fully functional with same AC/DC specs as other channels |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Wide Supply Range | Operates from 3 V to 30 V single supply or ±1.5 V to ±15 V dual supply - eliminates need for separate rail generators |
| Ground-Sensing Inputs | Input common-mode range includes 0 V - enables direct connection to thermocouples, strain gauges, and current-sense shunts |
| Low Power Consumption | 1.2 mA total supply current at 5 V - extends battery life in portable medical and IoT edge devices |
| High Open-Loop Gain | 100 dB typical - ensures <0.1% gain error in 100× amplification stages with 10 kΩ feedback networks |
| Robust Output Stage | ±40 mA output drive with infinite short-circuit duration - tolerates accidental wiring faults in industrial control panels |

FAQ
Can LM224D operate from a single 3.3 V supply?
Yes. LM224D is fully specified for single-supply operation from 3 V to 30 V. At 3.3 V, it maintains usable output swing (typically 0.1 V to 3.1 V with 10 kΩ load), 1.3 MHz GBP, and input common-mode range from 0 V to 1.8 V - sufficient for low-voltage sensor buffering and comparator applications.
Does LM224D have rail-to-rail input or output capability?
LM224D features rail-to-rail output swing but not rail-to-rail input. Its input common-mode range extends to ground (0 V) but stops at VCC – 1.5 V. This allows ground-referenced inputs but prohibits direct connection of signals near the positive rail without attenuation or level-shifting.
What is the maximum capacitive load LM224D can drive stably?
LM224D is unity-gain stable and characterized with 100 pF capacitive load in standard test conditions. For loads >100 pF, a series resistor (typically 10–100 Ω) between output and capacitance is recommended to maintain phase margin and prevent oscillation - especially in high-gain configurations.
Is LM224D pin-compatible with LM324 or LM2902?
Yes. LM224D shares identical SO14 pinout and core electrical specifications with LM324 (commercial temp range) and LM2902 (automotive grade). However, LM224D is rated for –40 °C to +105 °C operation and has different ESD ratings (250 V HBM vs 700 V for LM224W), so thermal and reliability validation is required for cross-substitution.
