Product details
Overview
LM224DRG3 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 (V– included) and robust output drive (±30mA). It operates from 3V to 36V supply, delivers 1.2MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.5V/μs slew rate, and achieves ±3mV max input offset voltage at 25°C with 240μA per-amplifier quiescent current - enabling precision signal conditioning in multi-function printers and AC inverter control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM224DRG3 datasheet, LM224DRG3 pinout, LM224DRG3 application, or LM224DRG3 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOIC-14), confirmed electrical specs (VOS, GBW, IQ, VOUT swing), thermal metrics (RθJA = 99.3°C/W), and drop-in replacement guidance versus legacy LM224 variants.
Technical Context
The LM224DRG3 implements a standard voltage-feedback op-amp topology with unity-gain stability, common-mode input range extending to V–, and differential input voltage tolerance up to ±32V. Its internal architecture supports single-supply operation without level-shifting circuitry, and its ESD rating (±500V HBM) meets industrial handling requirements.
It features integrated RF/EMI filtering for noise immunity in electrically noisy environments such as power supply units and motor drives, and maintains stable performance across –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature - matching the LM224K/LM224KA operating range specified in TI's SLOS066AE datasheet.
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 external regulation |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±3 mV at 25°C - enables accurate DC-coupled amplification in sensor front-ends with ≤0.3% initial error |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.2 MHz - sufficient for closed-loop gains up to ~120 at 10kHz in active filters or transimpedance stages |
| Slew Rate | 0.5 V/μs - limits full-power bandwidth to ~80kHz but ensures stability with capacitive loads ≤100pF |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 240 μA typical - allows four-channel operation at <1mA total, critical for low-power embedded monitoring |
| Output Swing (from rail) | 1.5V from V+ / 100mV from V– at 50μA - supports 3.3V logic interfacing when V– = GND and V+ = 5V |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes V– - eliminates need for negative supply or biasing networks in single-supply configurations |
Pinout & Package
LM224DRG3 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 8.65mm × 6mm, with standard JEDEC outline and gull-wing leads compatible with automated PCB assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1IN– | Inverting input (Amplifier A) | Differential node accepting feedback or signal inversion; referenced to V– for rail-to-rail input operation |
| 1IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance node (4GΩ || 1.5pF) for reference or sensor connection without loading |
| 1OUT | Output (Amplifier A) | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±30mA; output swing limited to 1.5V below V+ and 100mV above V– |
| VCC+ | Positive supply | Accepts 3V–36V; decoupling capacitor required at pin for high-frequency stability |
| 2IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amplifier B) | Independent channel input; shares same VCC+/VCC– rails but no crosstalk beyond 120dB |
| 2IN– | Inverting input (Amplifier B) | Supports differential input up to ±32V - exceeds supply rails, enabling overvoltage-tolerant sensing |
| 2OUT | Output (Amplifier B) | Electrically isolated output stage; short-circuit protected with ±60mA absolute max rating |
| VCC– | Negative supply / ground | Reference for all inputs/outputs; must be connected even in single-supply use (V– = GND) |
| 3OUT | Output (Amplifier C) | Same drive capability and rail-swing behavior as Amplifier A/B outputs |
| 3IN– | Inverting input (Amplifier C) | Valid for input voltages down to V– - enables true ground-referenced signal acquisition |
| 3IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amplifier C) | Matches 1IN+/2IN+ characteristics; usable for parallel channel configuration |
| 4OUT | Output (Amplifier D) | Final channel output; identical electrical specs; supports independent load driving |
| 4IN– | Inverting input (Amplifier D) | Full differential input range maintained across all four channels per datasheet Table 5-1 |
| 4IN+ | Non-inverting input (Amplifier D) | Enables four independent op-amp functions on one die - reduces board space vs discrete solutions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM224DR | No G3 suffix; RoHS-compliant but not automotive-grade; identical SOIC-14 pinout and electrical specs | Same industrial temperature range (–25°C to +85°C); lacks TI's enhanced EMI filtering of G3 variant | Select LM224DR where EMI immunity is secondary and cost is primary constraint |
| LM324DRG3 | Same package and pinout; wider temp range (0°C to +70°C) and higher VOS (±7mV max) than LM224DRG3 | Targeted at commercial-grade desktop PC and printer applications, not extended-temp industrial use | Choose LM324DRG3 only if design operates strictly within 0°C–70°C and tolerates higher offset |
Compared with LM224DR and LM324DRG3, the LM224DRG3 offers superior EMI rejection and tighter offset voltage (±3mV vs ±7mV), making it preferred for noise-prone industrial inverters and multi-function printers requiring consistent DC accuracy across temperature.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LM224DRG3?
The LM224DRG3 is rated for operation from –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature, matching the LM224K/LM224KA specification tier in TI's SLOS066AE datasheet. This range supports deployment in indoor industrial equipment such as HVAC controllers and office printers, but excludes extended-temperature automotive or military applications.
Does the LM224DRG3 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the LM224DRG3 supports true single-supply operation because its common-mode input voltage range includes the negative supply rail (V–). When V– is grounded, inputs can accept signals from 0V up to VCC – 1.5V, eliminating the need for dual supplies or input biasing networks in applications like sensor interfaces and power supply feedback loops.
What is the output current capability of the LM224DRG3?
The LM224DRG3 can source up to –30mA and sink up to +20mA per amplifier under recommended conditions (VCC = 15V). Short-circuit output current is rated at ±60mA. These values enable direct driving of LEDs, small relays, or optocouplers without external transistors - a key advantage in compact power supply monitor circuits.
How does the LM224DRG3 differ from the LM324DRG3?
The LM224DRG3 and LM324DRG3 share identical SOIC-14 packaging and pinout but differ in temperature grade and offset voltage: LM224DRG3 is rated for –25°C to +85°C with ±3mV max VOS, while LM324DRG3 is commercial-grade (0°C to +70°C) with ±7mV max VOS. Both are drop-in replacements for legacy LM224/LM324 families per TI documentation.
Is the LM224DRG3 pin-compatible with older LM224 variants?
Yes, the LM224DRG3 is fully pin-compatible with all LM224 family members in SOIC-14 (D) package, including LM224, LM224A, LM224K, and LM224KA. Pin functions, electrical characteristics, and thermal metrics (RθJA = 99.3°C/W) are identical - enabling seamless upgrade in existing designs without PCB changes.
