Product details
Overview
LM2902DBR from Texas Instruments is a quad operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation across –40°C to 125°C, featuring rail-to-rail input (including ground), 3 mV typical input offset voltage, 0.8 mA typical supply current per amplifier, and 26 V maximum supply voltage. It serves as a general-purpose signal conditioning front-end in automotive sensor interfaces, industrial analog I/O modules, and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM2902DBR datasheet, LM2902DBR pinout, LM2902DBR application, or LM2902DBR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed operation down to –40°C, input common-mode range extending to ground, low quiescent current under 3 V–26 V supply, and compatibility with standard SOIC-14 (DB) packaging for legacy board reuse.
Technical Context
The LM2902DBR implements four independent, internally frequency-compensated op-amps using bipolar transistor technology. Each amplifier features a high-gain, direct-coupled architecture with input stage biasing that enables true ground-sensing capability - no external level-shifting required when interfacing with 0 V referenced transducers.
Its differential input voltage rating of ±26 V and output short-circuit robustness support reliable operation in noisy industrial environments. The device lacks rail-to-rail output swing but delivers ≥22 V high-level output into 2 kΩ at VCC = 26 V, making it suitable for driving comparators or ADC reference buffers without additional gain stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 26 V single supply - supports direct interface with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Input Offset Voltage (Typ) | 3 mV at 25°C - enables accurate DC amplification of millivolt-level sensor outputs (e.g., thermocouples, strain gauges) |
| Supply Current (Typ) | 0.8 mA per amplifier - allows four-channel analog front-end operation within 3.2 mA total, critical for low-power systems |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0 V to VCC–1.5 V - permits direct connection of grounded sensors (e.g., RTDs, current shunts) without negative supply |
| Large-Signal Voltage Gain | 100 V/mV typical - provides ≥80 dB open-loop gain for stable closed-loop configurations up to unity gain |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, motor control, and industrial PLC applications |
| Output Short-Circuit Current | ±40 mA typical - withstands accidental shorts during prototyping or field wiring faults without latch-up |

| 10 | Channel 3 Inverting Input | Inverting node for Amp C - enables independent gain configuration per channel |
| 11 | Channel 3 Output | Amplifier C output - usable for auxiliary functions like reference buffering or bias generation |
| 12 | Channel 4 Non-Inverting Input | Non-inverting node for Amp D - allows fourth independent analog path without extra components |
| 13 | Channel 4 Inverting Input | Inverting node for Amp D - supports active filtering or differential-to-single-ended conversion |
| 14 | Channel 4 Output | Amplifier D output - completes quad functionality; all outputs share same drive strength specs |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2902DR | Same electrical specs and temperature range; packaged in SOIC-14 tape-and-reel (R suffix) instead of DB variant | No functional difference - identical pinout and performance; differs only in packaging format and reel orientation | Select LM2902DR for automated SMT assembly requiring tape-and-reel delivery; LM2902DBR is functionally identical but may differ in reel specification |
| TLV2464IDR | Rail-to-rail input/output, 0.55 mA supply current, 6 MHz GBW, but rated only to 125°C (not –40°C) | Superior AC performance and lower power, but not qualified for automotive cold-start conditions below 0°C | Choose TLV2464IDR only if rail-to-rail output swing and higher bandwidth are required, and operating temperature stays above 0°C |
Compared with LM2902DR, LM2902DBR offers identical functionality in the same SOIC-14 footprint but with distinct reel packaging; compared with TLV2464IDR, LM2902DBR trades bandwidth and rail-to-rail output for guaranteed –40°C startup and proven robustness in high-noise motor control environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2902DBR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LM2902DBR is 26 V. This is lower than the 30 V limit for LM324-family variants due to internal process and thermal design constraints. Operation above 26 V risks permanent damage, even briefly. For designs requiring >26 V rails, consider the LM324D or consult TI's high-voltage op-amp portfolio.
Does LM2902DBR support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, LM2902DBR does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its high-level output is typically VCC–1.5 V into 2 kΩ, and low-level output is ≤20 mV above ground. This limitation is inherent to its bipolar output stage. If full rail-to-rail output is required, TI's TLV2464 or OPA4340 series offer alternatives - but with different temperature and offset specifications.
Can LM2902DBR operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, LM2902DBR is fully specified to operate from 3 V to 26 V single supply. At 3.3 V, it maintains guaranteed input common-mode range down to ground and output swing from ~20 mV to ~1.8 V (VCC–1.5 V), enabling use with 3.3 V microcontrollers and ADCs. Performance parameters like gain and CMRR are characterized across this full range.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM2902DBR over temperature?
The input offset voltage for LM2902DBR is 3 mV typical at 25°C and increases to 10 mV maximum across the full –40°C to 125°C range. This drift is documented in the "electrical characteristics" table under "Full range" conditions. For applications demanding tighter DC accuracy, consider the LM2902A variant (2 mV max at 25°C) or auto-zero op-amps like the OPA2333.
Is LM2902DBR pin-compatible with LM324N?
Yes, LM2902DBR is pin-compatible with LM324N in terms of terminal assignment and function - both use the same 14-pin SOIC (DB) and PDIP (N) footprints respectively. However, LM2902DBR extends the temperature range to –40°C to 125°C versus LM324N's 0°C to 70°C, and has a lower maximum supply voltage (26 V vs 30 V). Electrical behavior is otherwise identical.
