Product details
Overview
LM2904DGK from Texas Instruments is a dual operational amplifier in VSSOP-8 package, designed for cost-sensitive industrial and automotive applications requiring rail-to-rail input (including ground), 3V–36V supply operation, 1.2MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and 300µA/ch quiescent current. It serves as a general-purpose signal conditioning and voltage amplification IC in power supply feedback loops, motor control comparators, and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2904DGK datasheet, LM2904DGK pinout, LM2904DGK application, or LM2904DGK equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated VSSOP-8 terminal mapping, real-world use cases in AC inverters and motor drives, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The LM2904DGK implements a bipolar-input op-amp architecture optimized for single-supply operation, with common-mode input range extending to V– (ground) and output swing within 20mV of V– at TA = –40°C to +125°C. Its internal EMI/RF filtering and 2kV HBM ESD rating support robust deployment in electrically noisy environments such as motor drive PCBs and industrial power converters.
It features unity-gain stable compensation, 70–140 V/mV open-loop gain (min–max), and 0.5 V/µs slew rate - enabling accurate DC-coupled amplification and low-frequency closed-loop control without external compensation. The device operates across full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and supports supply voltages up to ±18V or 36V single-ended.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 36V - enables direct integration into 12V/24V industrial rails and wide-input power supplies without regulation. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.2 MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~100 kHz with gain ≥ 10, suitable for sensor signal conditioning and error amplifiers. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±3 mV at 25°C - ensures ≤ 30 mV total error in 10× gain configurations, adequate for non-precision analog front-ends. |
| Quiescent Current per Channel | 300 µA (typical) - allows battery-backed or energy-constrained systems (e.g., smart HVAC controllers) to maintain dual-channel amplification with minimal standby load. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes V– (ground) - permits direct sensing of signals referenced to system ground, eliminating level-shifting circuitry in current-sense and comparator applications. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±2000 V - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 3 immunity requirements for industrial equipment without external protection diodes. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments including motor control modules and UPS systems. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input (V– inclusive) | Eliminates need for external biasing when amplifying ground-referenced signals like shunt voltage or thermistor outputs. |
| Integrated RF/EMI filter | Reduces susceptibility to high-frequency noise from switching power stages and motor commutation without added ferrites or RC filters. |
| 2-kV HBM ESD rating | Enables direct assembly onto production boards without special ESD handling, reducing manufacturing overhead in high-volume industrial lines. |
| Thermally optimized VSSOP-8 | RθJA = 181.4°C/W enables >100 mW dissipation at ambient ≤ 85°C - sufficient for dual op-amp operation in compact motor driver PCBs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2904DR | SOIC-8 package (4.9mm × 6mm); RθJA = 124.7°C/W; same electrical specs but higher thermal resistance. | Better suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOIC layouts; less optimal for thermally constrained surface-mount designs. | Select LM2904DR only when board layout requires SOIC footprint or thermal derating is not critical. |
| LM2904BQDR | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 qualified); identical VSSOP-8 package; tighter offset drift (±3.5 µV/°C vs ±12 µV/°C for LM2904DGK). | Required for ASIL-B compliant subsystems (e.g., EPS assist sensors); unnecessary for industrial HVAC or UPS where AEC-Q100 is not mandated. | Choose LM2904BQDR only if automotive qualification is contractually required; otherwise LM2904DGK offers full performance at lower cost. |
Compared with LM2904DR and LM2904BQDR, the LM2904DGK provides the optimal balance of thermal performance (lowest RθJA among VSSOP variants), industrial temperature range, and cost - making it preferred for space-constrained, high-ambient industrial control applications where automotive certification is not needed.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2904DGK?
The LM2904DGK supports a maximum supply voltage of 36 V across V+ to V– terminals. This rating applies over the full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and enables direct use in 24V industrial systems and 32V automotive battery-derived rails with headroom for transients. Absolute maximum differential supply is ±20 V or 40 V total.
Does LM2904DGK support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, the LM2904DGK does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its output can swing to within approximately 1.4 V of V+ and as low as 20 mV above V– (at TA = –40°C to +125°C, IOUT = 1 mA). This limited positive swing is sufficient for most comparator and error-amplifier uses but requires design margin when driving logic inputs near V+.
Can LM2904DGK replace LM2904DR in an existing SOIC-8 design?
No direct replacement is possible without PCB modification: LM2904DGK uses VSSOP-8 (3.0 mm × 4.9 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), while LM2904DR uses SOIC-8 (4.9 mm × 6.0 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Footprint, solder paste stencil, and reflow profile differ significantly. Migration requires layout revision and thermal validation due to differing RθJA (181.4°C/W vs 124.7°C/W).
What is the input bias current specification for LM2904DGK?
The LM2904DGK has a typical input bias current of –10 nA and a maximum of –35 nA at 25°C, rising to –50 nA over –40°C to +125°C. This low bias current minimizes voltage errors in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes or thermistors with >100 kΩ source impedance), preserving accuracy without active guarding.
Is LM2904DGK qualified for automotive applications?
The standard LM2904DGK is not AEC-Q100 qualified. For automotive use, TI offers the LM2904BQDR variant (identical VSSOP-8 package, AEC-Q100 Grade 1, –40°C to +125°C). LM2904DGK remains suitable for industrial applications such as HVAC, UPS, and motor drives where automotive qualification is not required.
