Product details
Overview
LM2904DRG3 from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier optimized for industrial and automotive applications, featuring rail-to-rail input (including ground), 3V–30V supply range, 300µA/ch quiescent current, 1.2MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and ±3mV max input offset voltage at 25°C. It serves as a precision signal conditioning and feedback amplification stage in motor control, power supply monitoring, and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2904DRG3 datasheet, LM2904DRG3 pinout, LM2904DRG3 application, or LM2904DRG3 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, SOIC-8 package mapping, thermal performance data, real-world use cases in HVAC and UPS systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM2904DRG3 implements a bipolar-input, internally compensated two-stage op-amp architecture with common-mode input voltage range extending to V– (ground in single-supply operation) and output swing within 1.5V of V+ and 20mV of V– under 1mA load. Its 1.2MHz gain-bandwidth product supports stable unity-gain configurations without external compensation.
Designed for extended temperature operation (–40°C to +125°C), it integrates EMI/RF filtering and achieves 2kV HBM ESD robustness. The device uses standard current-mirror biasing and Class AB output stage, enabling reliable performance across wide supply and load variations in cost-sensitive embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 30V - supports direct integration into 5V, 12V, and 24V industrial rails without regulation. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±3mV at 25°C - enables accurate DC-coupled sensing in current shunt amplifiers and battery voltage monitors. |
| Quiescent Current per Channel | 300µA typical - allows dual-amplifier operation in always-on subsystems with sub-1mA total supply draw. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.2MHz - sufficient for closed-loop response up to ~100kHz in active filters and PID controller feedback paths. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes V– (ground) - permits direct low-side current sensing and single-supply transducer interfacing. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 20mV of V– and 1.5V of V+ at 1mA - ensures usable dynamic range in 3.3V–24V systems with minimal headroom loss. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and outdoor HVAC control units. |
Pinout & Package
LM2904DRG3 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.9mm × 6mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and gull-wing leads compatible with automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1) | Amplifier 1 output | Delivers buffered, low-impedance output signal; capable of sourcing/sinking ±20mA. |
| 2 (IN1–) | Amplifier 1 inverting input | Differential node for feedback networks; accepts signals down to V– (ground). |
| 3 (IN1+) | Amplifier 1 non-inverting input | High-impedance input for reference or sensor signals; CMVR includes V–. |
| 4 (V–) | Negative supply / ground | Reference for both amplifiers; supports true single-supply operation with V– = 0V. |
| 5 (IN2+) | Amplifier 2 non-inverting input | Independent high-Z input; electrically isolated from Amp1 except via shared supply rails. |
| 6 (IN2–) | Amplifier 2 inverting input | Feedback node for second channel; identical electrical behavior to Pin 2. |
| 7 (OUT2) | Amplifier 2 output | Second independent output; shares same drive capability and thermal limits as OUT1. |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Single positive rail for dual amplifiers; no separate V– connection required in single-supply mode. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2904DT | Same SOIC-8 package, identical electrical specs, but rated only to +105°C ambient (vs. +125°C for LM2904DRG3). | Suitable for commercial-grade power supplies and office equipment where extended temperature is not required. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive/industrial temperature needs; verify thermal derating in enclosed enclosures. |
| LM358DR | Lower max operating temperature (0°C to +70°C), higher input offset (±7mV), and reduced ESD rating (500V HBM vs. 2kV). | Appropriate for consumer electronics and non-critical instrumentation where environmental stress is minimal. | Choose only for cost-driven, non-automotive designs with controlled lab or indoor environments; avoid in motor control or field-deployed systems. |
Compared with LM2904DT and LM358DR, LM2904DRG3 provides guaranteed operation at +125°C, tighter offset voltage, and superior ESD immunity-making it the preferred choice for automotive body control modules, industrial PLC I/O stages, and outdoor-rated power conversion systems where reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2904DRG3?
The LM2904DRG3 supports a maximum supply voltage of 30V (V+ to V–), as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. This allows direct operation from unregulated 24V industrial rails or automotive batteries with transient spikes up to 30V, eliminating the need for pre-regulation in many applications. Exceeding 30V risks permanent damage.
Does LM2904DRG3 support single-supply operation?
Yes, LM2904DRG3 fully supports single-supply operation with V– connected to ground. Its common-mode input voltage range includes V–, enabling accurate amplification of signals referenced to ground-such as current-sense shunt voltages or thermistor outputs-without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM2904DRG3?
The LM2904DRG3 has a maximum input offset voltage of ±3mV at 25°C and ±4mV over its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +125°C). This value is confirmed in Section 5.6 of the official TI datasheet and applies specifically to the LM2904B variant, which LM2904DRG3 implements.
Is LM2904DRG3 pin-compatible with LM358DR?
No, LM2904DRG3 is not pin-compatible with LM358DR. While both are dual op-amps in SOIC-8 packages, LM358DR uses a different pinout: Pin 1 is OUT1, Pin 2 is IN1–, Pin 3 is IN1+, Pin 4 is V–, Pin 5 is IN2+, Pin 6 is IN2–, Pin 7 is OUT2, and Pin 8 is V+. LM2904DRG3 follows the same pinout-so they are functionally and physically pin-compatible. However, LM358DR is rated only to +70°C and has looser offset and ESD specs.
What thermal metrics apply to LM2904DRG3 in SOIC-8 package?
For the LM2904DRG3 in SOIC-8 (D) package, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 124.7°C/W, junction-to-case (top) is 66.9°C/W, and junction-to-board is 67.9°C/W. These values-listed in Section 5.4 of the TI datasheet-enable accurate PCB thermal design for continuous operation at full load across the –40°C to +125°C range.
