Product details
Overview
LM2904DRG4 from Texas Instruments is a dual operational amplifier optimized for industrial and automotive applications requiring wide supply range, rail-to-rail input capability (including ground), and robust EMI/RF immunity. It delivers 1.2MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 300µA/ch quiescent current, ±3mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and operates from 3V to 30V supply. It serves as a precision signal conditioning and feedback amplifier in motor control and power supply monitoring circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2904DRG4 datasheet, LM2904DRG4 pinout, LM2904DRG4 application, or LM2904DRG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOIC-8 package details, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in HVAC and UPS systems, and two validated alternative parts with documented differences in offset voltage and temperature range.
Technical Context
The LM2904DRG4 belongs to the enhanced LM2904B family, featuring internal RF/EMI filtering and guaranteed operation across –40°C to +125°C ambient. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to V– (ground in single-supply configurations), enabling direct sensing of low-side current shunts and battery voltage monitoring without level-shifting circuitry.
It uses a standard bipolar input stage with 10nA typical input bias current and achieves 70V/mV open-loop gain at 15V supply. The device is unity-gain stable and drives up to 100pF capacitive loads while maintaining phase margin ≥56°, supporting reliable closed-loop performance in feedback networks for DC-DC converters and sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications

Applications
| Motor Control Feedback | Power Supply Monitoring |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Closed-loop speed regulation of brushed DC motors using back-EMF or hall sensor signals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op-amp configures one channel as transducer amplifier for hall sensor output and second as error amplifier comparing setpoint to actual speed. Use Value: Ground-referenced inputs simplify PCB layout by eliminating bias resistors; 1.2MHz bandwidth supports fast transient response in servo loops. |
Use Scenario: Real-time overvoltage and undervoltage detection in 24V industrial PSUs feeding PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One amplifier compares sensed rail voltage against precision reference; second implements hysteresis via feedback to prevent chatter near trip thresholds. Use Value: ±3mV offset ensures trip accuracy within ±1% of 24V nominal; –40°C to +125°C rating guarantees reliability across factory floor thermal gradients. |
| HVAC System Sensors | Uninterruptible Power Supplies |
|
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning of thermistor and humidity sensor outputs in indoor/outdoor air conditioner control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Amplifies low-level analog sensor outputs and buffers them for ADC input; second channel used for temperature-compensated offset correction. Use Value: Common-mode range including ground allows direct thermistor bridge connection; 300µA/ch current enables low-power standby mode during off-cycle. |
Use Scenario: Battery voltage monitoring and charge/discharge current sensing in line-interactive UPS units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First amplifier conditions shunt-based current sense signal; second amplifies battery terminal voltage for state-of-charge estimation. Use Value: Dual-channel integration reduces component count vs discrete solutions; EMI filtering prevents false trips during AC line switching transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2904BDR | Lower max input offset (±2mV), higher ESD rating (±2kV HBM), same SOIC-8 package | Preferred for high-precision current sensing where <2mV offset is required; wider ESD margin suits manufacturing environments with less stringent controls | Select LM2904BDR when tighter offset and enhanced ESD robustness justify cost premium over LM2904DRG4 |
| LM358DR | Wider supply range (3–36V), lower temperature grade (0°C to +70°C), same pinout | Suitable for commercial-grade power adapters and desktop PC motherboards where extended temperature is unnecessary | Choose LM358DR only for cost-sensitive consumer applications operating strictly within 0°C–70°C ambient |
Compared with LM2904DRG4, LM2904BDR offers improved DC accuracy and ESD resilience for demanding industrial deployments, while LM358DR trades temperature range and offset for lower unit cost in benign environments - neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacement without validation of thermal and offset margins.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2904DRG4?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for LM2904DRG4 is 32V, but the recommended operating range is 3V to 30V. Operation above 30V risks exceeding safe junction temperature limits and may degrade long-term reliability, especially at elevated ambient temperatures. Designers should verify thermal dissipation using RθJA = 124.7°C/W for the SOIC-8 package under worst-case load conditions.
Does LM2904DRG4 support rail-to-rail input?
LM2904DRG4 supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range down to V– (including ground), but not up to V+. Its common-mode input range extends from V– to (V+) – 1.5V at room temperature and to (V+) – 2V over full temperature range. This enables true ground-referenced sensing but requires headroom at the positive rail - it is not a full rail-to-rail input op-amp.
Can LM2904DRG4 drive capacitive loads?
Yes, LM2904DRG4 is characterized to drive up to 100pF capacitive loads while maintaining ≥56° phase margin and stable step response. For loads exceeding 100pF, external series resistance (typically 10–100Ω) at the output is recommended to isolate the capacitance and preserve stability in closed-loop configurations such as active filters or buffer stages.
What is the input bias current specification for LM2904DRG4?
The input bias current for LM2904DRG4 is specified as –20nA (typical) and –250nA (maximum) at 25°C, with –500nA maximum over the full –40°C to +125°C operating range. This bipolar-input architecture results in higher bias current than CMOS op-amps but provides superior EMI immunity and robustness in electrically noisy industrial settings.
Is LM2904DRG4 pin-compatible with LM358DR?
Yes, LM2904DRG4 and LM358DR share identical SOIC-8 pinout and pin functions, but they differ in key specifications: LM2904DRG4 is rated for –40°C to +125°C and has 3–30V supply range, whereas LM358DR is rated for 0°C to +70°C and supports 3–36V. Direct substitution requires verification of temperature and supply-voltage requirements in the target application.
