Product details
Overview
LM224KDG4 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 (±20mA per channel). It operates from 3V to 30V supply, delivers 1.2MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.5V/μs slew rate, and achieves ±3mV max input offset voltage at 25°C with 240μA typical quiescent current per amplifier - enabling precision signal conditioning in power supplies and appliance control boards.
For engineers reviewing the LM224KDG4 datasheet, LM224KDG4 pinout, LM224KDG4 application, or LM224KDG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, validated SOIC-14 pin mapping, real-world use cases in AC inverters and multi-function printers, and two confirmed drop-in alternatives with documented thermal and ESD performance differences.
Technical Context
The LM224KDG4 belongs to the legacy LMx24 family and implements four independent high-voltage op amps with common-mode input range extending to V– and differential input voltage tolerance up to ±32V. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports single-supply operation without level-shifting circuitry.
It features internal ESD protection rated at ±500V HBM and ±1000V CDM, and is characterized across –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature - matching the LM224K specification tier defined in TI's SLOS066AE datasheet revision September 2025.

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 | Same SOIC-14 package, identical electrical specs (±3mV VOS, 1.2MHz GBW), but rated for –25°C to +85°C only - no extended temp validation | Not qualified for automotive under-hood or industrial environments exceeding +85°C ambient | Select LM224DR only when full LM224K temperature range is not required and cost optimization is critical |
| LM324N | PDIP-14 package, same 3V–30V supply, but higher ±7mV max offset and lower 15V max supply rating - not drop-in for 24V systems | Requires PCB redesign due to through-hole mounting and different thermal profile; unsuitable for 24V industrial SMPS | Choose LM324N only for legacy through-hole designs where SOIC footprint is unavailable and 24V operation is unnecessary |
Compared with LM224DR, LM224KDG4 offers guaranteed performance across its full –25°C to +85°C range and tighter production screening; versus LM324N, it provides surface-mount compatibility, higher supply voltage margin, and lower offset - making it preferable for new industrial control designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for LM224KDG4?
The LM224KDG4 is specified for operation from –25°C to +85°C ambient temperature, as confirmed in TI's SLOS066AE datasheet Section 6.3. This range applies to all electrical characteristics including input offset voltage, gain-bandwidth, and output drive capability. Operation outside this range may result in parameter degradation or functional failure.
Does LM224KDG4 support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, LM224KDG4 does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its output voltage swing is limited to within 1.5V of each rail under 2kΩ load (e.g., VOH ≥ VCC–1.5V, VOL ≤ 1.5V above VCC–). At 1mA load, positive swing is typically 1.4V below VCC and negative swing is 0.75V above VCC– - verified in Section 6.7 of the datasheet.
Is LM224KDG4 pin-compatible with LM324 or LM2902?
Yes, LM224KDG4 is pin-compatible with LM324 and LM2902 in SOIC-14 (D) package per TI's device information table. All share identical pin numbering and function mapping (e.g., Pin 1 = 1OUT, Pin 4 = VCC+, Pin 11 = VCC–). However, LM2902 has different input offset (±7mV) and temperature range (–40°C to +125°C), so direct substitution requires validation of those parameters.
What is the ESD rating of LM224KDG4?
LM224KDG4 has an ESD rating of ±500V HBM (Human Body Model) and ±1000V CDM (Charged Device Model), as specified in Section 6.2 of the TI SLOS066AE datasheet. These values reflect qualification testing per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001 and JESD22-C101 standards - confirming suitability for standard automated assembly lines with controlled ESD protocols.
Can LM224KDG4 drive capacitive loads?
LM224KDG4 is characterized to drive capacitive loads up to 100pF while maintaining stability, as stated in Section 6.5 (CLOAD parameter). Driving larger capacitive loads (e.g., >200pF) risks phase margin reduction and potential oscillation; TI recommends adding a series isolation resistor (e.g., 10–100Ω) between amplifier output and heavy capacitive load to preserve stability.
