Product details
Overview
LM2904P from Texas Instruments is a dual operational amplifier optimized for industrial and automotive applications requiring wide supply range (3V to 30V), low quiescent current (350 µA/ch), and rail-to-rail input capability including ground sensing. It delivers 0.7 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 3 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, and operates across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature - enabling use in motor control feedback, power supply monitoring, and sensor signal conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2904P datasheet, LM2904P pinout, LM2904P application, or LM2904P equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (PDIP-8), confirmed electrical specifications per TI SLOS068AB Rev. October 2024, thermal performance data (RθJA = 80.9°C/W), and validated alternative options for cost-sensitive, high-reliability analog designs.
Technical Context
The LM2904P implements two independent high-voltage op amps with common-mode input voltage range extending to V– (ground in single-supply operation), enabling direct interfacing with low-side current-sense resistors and thermistor networks. Its internal EMI/RF filtering and 500 V HBM ESD rating support robust operation in electrically noisy environments such as motor drives and industrial PLC I/O modules.
Designed for unity-gain stability and DC-coupled precision, the LM2904P features open-loop gain ≥25 V/mV at 25°C, output swing within 20 mV of V– and 1.5 V of V+ (at 5 mA load), and channel separation >120 dB - making it suitable for multi-channel signal conditioning where crosstalk must be minimized.
Key Specifications

Use Value: Input offset drift ≤7 µV/°C limits temperature-induced span error to <0.1% over full industrial range; PDIP package eases field-replaceable module design. |
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; identical electrical specs; RθJA = 124.7°C/W vs. 80.9°C/W for PDIP | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; requires reflow soldering instead of through-hole assembly | Select when board area is limited and thermal management uses copper pour rather than natural convection |
| LM2904BPSR | TSSOP-8 package; improved offset (±2 mV max); higher ESD (2 kV HBM); wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C) | Required for AEC-Q100-compliant automotive subsystems or high-precision industrial instrumentation | Choose when tighter offset spec or automotive qualification is mandatory; verify layout compatibility with TSSOP pitch |
Compared with LM2904P, LM2904DR offers superior board density but reduced thermal dissipation margin, while LM2904BPSR delivers enhanced precision and ruggedness at the cost of surface-mount assembly complexity - all three share identical functional pinout and schematic symbol.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2904P?
The LM2904P supports a maximum supply voltage of 30 V across V+ and V– terminals, as specified in Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of TI's SLOS068AB datasheet. This rating applies to continuous DC operation and is validated for the PDIP-8 package variant. Exceeding 30 V may cause permanent damage, and operation above 26 V requires verification of thermal derating per the device's RθJA = 80.9°C/W specification. The LM2904P is not rated for ±15 V dual-supply operation beyond its total 30 V differential limit.
Does LM2904P support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, LM2904P does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its output can swing within approximately 20 mV of V– and 1.5 V of V+ under 5 mA load conditions, as documented in Section 5.8 Electrical Characteristics. This limitation is inherent to its bipolar input/output architecture and must be accounted for in design - for example, by selecting V+ ≥ 3.5 V when targeting a 0–3.3 V output range. The LM2904P's strength lies in rail-to-rail *input* capability, not output, distinguishing it from newer CMOS rail-to-rail op amps.
Can LM2904P be used in automotive applications?
Yes, LM2904P is qualified for automotive applications with an operating ambient temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, matching AEC-Q100 Grade 2 requirements. Its 500 V HBM ESD rating, integrated EMI/RF filtering, and robust parametric performance across temperature meet baseline needs for body electronics and powertrain auxiliary circuits. However, for safety-critical functions (e.g., airbag deployment or brake control), designers must perform full system-level validation - TI does not certify LM2904P for ASIL-B or higher compliance out-of-the-box.
What is the input bias current specification for LM2904P?
The LM2904P has a maximum input bias current of –250 nA at 25°C and –500 nA over its full –40°C to +125°C operating range, per Section 5.8 of the TI SLOS068AB datasheet. This bipolar-input characteristic makes it suitable for medium-impedance sources (e.g., <100 kΩ), but unsuitable for ultra-high-impedance nodes like piezoelectric sensors or MOSFET gate monitoring without guard traces. Input offset current is specified at ≤50 nA max, supporting matched-pair applications such as precision differential amplifiers.
Is LM2904P pin-compatible with LM358?
Yes, LM2904P is pin-compatible with LM358 in the PDIP-8 package: both share identical pin 1 (OUT1) through pin 8 (V+) assignments and functional behavior. However, LM2904P is optimized for single-supply operation (V– = ground), while LM358 supports true dual-supply configurations. Key differences include LM2904P's wider temperature range (–40°C to +125°C vs. 0°C to +70°C for standard LM358) and lower input offset voltage drift (7 µV/°C vs. 10 µV/°C). System-level validation is recommended before direct substitution.
