Product details
Overview
LM224DR from Texas Instruments is a quad operational amplifier in SOIC-14 package, designed for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer applications requiring rail-to-rail input capability, 3V–36V supply operation, ±3mV max input offset voltage (25°C), and unity-gain stability. It serves as a signal conditioning and voltage comparison IC in power supply feedback loops, sensor interfaces, and analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LM224DR datasheet, LM224DR pinout, LM224DR application, or LM224DR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in AC inverters and multi-function printers, and two confirmed drop-in alternatives with documented parameter trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM224DR implements four independent high-voltage op-amps with common-mode input range extending to V– (ground in single-supply mode) and differential input voltage tolerance up to ±32V. Its internal architecture supports stable operation with capacitive loads ≤100pF and achieves 1.2MHz gain-bandwidth product at unity gain.
It operates across –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature, draws 240µA per amplifier (typical quiescent current), and features 70–80dB common-mode rejection ratio and 65–100dB power supply rejection ratio - enabling robust performance in noisy industrial environments without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial power rails and battery-backed systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±3 mV at 25°C - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification in sensor signal chains with <0.1% error at 100mV input. |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 240 µA typical - allows four-channel analog processing in low-power embedded controllers with <1mA total ICC. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.2 MHz - sufficient for closed-loop gain ≥10 at 100kHz signals in motor control feedback paths. |
| Output Swing (from rail) | 1.5V from V+ and 100mV from V– at 50µA load - permits near-rail output in single-supply 5V/12V systems. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | V– to (V+) – 1.5V - accepts ground-referenced inputs directly, eliminating biasing resistors in single-supply designs. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 500 V - meets basic handling requirements for non-automotive assembly lines and lab prototyping. |
Pinout & Package
LM224DR is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 8.65mm × 6mm, with standard JEDEC outline and gull-wing leads compatible with automated SMT placement and reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1IN– | Inverting input (Amp 1) | Accepts feedback or inverted signal path; referenced to same common-mode range as non-inverting input. |
| 1IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amp 1) | Direct connection point for reference or sensor signal; supports V– to (V+)–1.5V input range. |
| 1OUT | Output (Amp 1) | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±20mA; drives 10kΩ loads with <1.5V headroom from rails. |
| VCC+ | Positive supply | Connects to highest potential rail (up to 36V); powers all four amplifiers simultaneously. |
| 2IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amp 2) | Independent channel input; electrically isolated from other amps except shared supply and ground paths. |
| 2IN– | Inverting input (Amp 2) | Used for differential configurations or inverting gain stages; identical electrical specs to Pin 1IN–. |
| 2OUT | Output (Amp 2) | Delivers same output swing and drive strength as 1OUT; no crosstalk penalty above 120dB at 1kHz. |
| VCC– | Negative supply / Ground | Reference node for single-supply operation; must be tied to system ground when using 3–36V unipolar supply. |
| 3IN– | Inverting input (Amp 3) | Third channel input; shares thermal and noise characteristics with other channels on same die. |
| 3IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amp 3) | Enables simultaneous multi-sensor monitoring (e.g., voltage, current, temperature) with one IC. |
| 3OUT | Output (Amp 3) | Supports independent loading; output impedance remains ≤300Ω up to 1MHz for stable filter interface. |
| 4IN– | Inverting input (Amp 4) | Final channel input; validated for continuous operation at full rated temperature range (–25°C to +85°C). |
| 4IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amp 4) | Allows fourth independent analog function such as window comparator or precision rectifier stage. |
| 4OUT | Output (Amp 4) | Meets same settling time spec (4µs to 0.1%) as other outputs, ensuring synchronized multi-channel response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input capability | Common-mode range includes V–, enabling direct ground-referenced sensor interfacing without external bias networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM324DR | Same SOIC-14 package; wider temp range (0°C to 70°C vs –25°C to +85°C); ±7mV max offset vs ±3mV. | Valid for commercial-grade desktop peripherals but not industrial AC inverters requiring extended temperature operation. | Select LM324DR only if cost is primary constraint and operating ambient stays within 0–70°C. |
| LM2902DR | Identical pinout and SOIC-14 footprint; extended temp range (–40°C to +125°C); same ±3mV offset spec but higher ESD rating (2kV HBM). | Suitable for automotive body control modules and outdoor HVAC units where ambient exceeds 85°C. | Choose LM2902DR when design requires AEC-Q100 alignment or operation beyond 85°C ambient. |
Compared with LM324DR and LM2902DR, the LM224DR uniquely balances industrial temperature compliance (–25°C to +85°C), low offset, and legacy compatibility - making it optimal for cost-constrained industrial equipment where LM2902's automotive qualification is unnecessary and LM324's temperature limit is insufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LM224DR?
The LM224DR is specified for operation from –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This range is validated per TI's LM224xx characterization data and supports deployment in industrial enclosures and consumer appliances without forced cooling. The LM224DR's thermal resistance (RθJA = 99.3°C/W in SOIC-14) ensures junction temperature remains below 150°C under typical 12V/1mA per amp loading at 85°C ambient.
Does the LM224DR support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LM224DR supports true single-supply operation. Its common-mode input voltage range extends to V– (pin 11), allowing direct connection of ground-referenced sensors or signals without external biasing. When powered from a 5V or 12V rail with V– tied to ground, the device delivers usable output swing from 100mV above ground to 1.5V below V+, meeting requirements for most 8-bit ADC interfaces.
Is the LM224DR pin-compatible with the LM324 series?
Yes, the LM224DR is fully pin-compatible with all LM324 variants (including LM324DR, LM324N) and LM2902 devices in SOIC-14 packaging. Pin numbering, function mapping, and electrical behavior match identically - enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs. This compatibility is explicitly confirmed in TI's SLOS066AE datasheet Section 5 (Pin Configuration) and Section 1 (Features).
What is the typical quiescent current consumption of the LM224DR?
The LM224DR draws 240µA per amplifier (960µA total for all four) at 25°C and 5V supply, rising to 300µA per amp at 85°C. This value is measured under no-load conditions with VOUT = VCC/2 and is consistent across the LM224xx family per TI's Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.7). Total supply current remains under 1.2mA even at 36V, supporting energy-efficient designs.
Can the LM224DR drive capacitive loads, and what is the maximum value?
The LM224DR is characterized to drive capacitive loads up to 100pF while maintaining stability and specified phase margin (56°). This capability is validated in TI's test circuit Figure 6-1 and applies to unity-gain configurations with RL ≥ 10kΩ. For loads exceeding 100pF - such as long PCB traces or ADC input capacitance - external isolation resistors (e.g., 100Ω in series with output) are recommended to prevent peaking or oscillation.
