Product details
Overview
LM2904VQDR from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier optimized for industrial and automotive applications, featuring rail-to-rail input (including ground), 3 V to 30 V supply range, 300 µA/ch quiescent current, 0.7 MHz gain bandwidth, and −40°C to +125°C operating temperature. It serves as a precision signal conditioning and voltage comparison element in motor control feedback loops, power supply error amplifiers, and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LM2904VQDR datasheet, LM2904VQDR pinout, LM2904VQDR application, or LM2904VQDR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in high-reliability systems, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The LM2904VQDR implements a bipolar-input, internally compensated two-stage op-amp architecture with common-mode input voltage range extending to the negative rail-enabling direct single-supply sensing of low-side current shunts and ground-referenced sensors. Its unity-gain stable design supports closed-loop configurations without external compensation.
It operates across extended temperature (−40°C to +125°C) and wide supply (3 V to 30 V), with input offset voltage ≤7 mV at 25°C and ≤10 mV over full temperature range-making it suitable for cost-sensitive analog front-ends where moderate precision suffices and ESD robustness (500 V HBM) is required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 30 V - supports 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial rails without level-shifting |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 0.7 MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~100 kHz with gain ≥7 |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | 7 mV at 25°C, 10 mV over −40°C to +125°C - sets DC accuracy limit in sensor amplification |
| Quiescent Current / ch | 350 µA typical - allows dual-channel amplification in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes V− (ground) - permits direct interfacing with low-side current sense resistors |
| Output Swing (min) | Within 20 mV of V− and 1.5 V of V+ at 5 mA load - supports near-rail output in single-supply comparators |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
Pinout & Package
LM2904VQDR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.9 mm × 6 mm body size, with standard dual-op-amp pinout and no internal connections on unused pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT1) | Amplifier 1 output | Delivers buffered, inverted or non-inverted signal based on configuration; drives loads ≤30 mA |
| 2 (IN1−) | Amplifier 1 inverting input | Accepts feedback or reference signal; high-impedance node (≤250 nA bias current) |
| 3 (IN1+) | Amplifier 1 non-inverting input | Accepts sensor or reference input; common-mode range includes ground for single-supply use |
| 4 (V−) | Negative supply / ground | Reference for both amplifiers; must be stable and low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 5 (IN2+) | Amplifier 2 non-inverting input | Independent input channel; identical electrical characteristics to Pin 3 |
| 6 (IN2−) | Amplifier 2 inverting input | Supports independent feedback network; shares same bias and offset specs as Pin 2 |
| 7 (OUT2) | Amplifier 2 output | Electrically isolated output channel; can drive separate load or cascade stage |
| 8 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts 3–30 V DC; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required at pin for stability |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM2904VQDR?
The LM2904VQDR supports a maximum supply voltage of 30 V across its V+ and V− terminals, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This allows direct operation from common industrial rails including 24 V systems. Exceeding 30 V risks permanent damage, and operation above 26 V requires verification of thermal derating per the device's RθJA of 124.7°C/W in SOIC packaging. The LM2904VQDR datasheet confirms this limit applies regardless of ambient temperature or load condition.
Does LM2904VQDR support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, the LM2904VQDR does not provide rail-to-rail output swing. Its output can swing within approximately 20 mV of the negative rail (V−) and within 1.5 V of the positive rail (V+) under 5 mA load conditions. This limitation is inherent to its bipolar output stage. For true rail-to-rail output, designers should consider alternatives like the TLV2462 or LMV358. The LM2904VQDR's output behavior is fully characterized in Section 5.8 of its datasheet, with test data confirming minimum headroom values across temperature and supply conditions.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM2904VQDR?
The LM2904VQDR has a maximum input offset voltage of 7 mV at 25°C and 10 mV over its full operating temperature range of −40°C to +125°C. This value is explicitly stated in Section 5.8 ("Electrical Characteristics: LM2904, LM2904V") of the official TI datasheet. It reflects worst-case device variation and is critical for DC-coupled applications such as current sensing or precision reference buffering. The LM2904VQDR's offset is higher than the LM2904BA (2 mV max) but matches the standard LM2904 family baseline.
Is LM2904VQDR pin-compatible with LM2904DR?
Yes, the LM2904VQDR is pin-compatible with the LM2904DR: both use the same SOIC-8 (D) package and identical pinout (OUT1, IN1−, IN1+, V−, IN2+, IN2−, OUT2, V+). No PCB layout changes are required for substitution. However, the "V" suffix denotes automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q100, while the "DR" variant is standard industrial grade. Electrical parameters-including offset voltage, bandwidth, and quiescent current-are functionally identical between the two parts, as confirmed in TI's family comparison tables.
What package type is used for LM2904VQDR?
The LM2904VQDR uses the 8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, designated as "D" in TI's packaging nomenclature, with nominal dimensions of 4.9 mm × 6 mm. This surface-mount package is RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and qualified for reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020. The "QDR" suffix in the part number explicitly indicates the SOIC-8 automotive-grade variant. Package drawings and thermal data (RθJA = 124.7°C/W) are provided in Section 11 of the LM2904VQDR datasheet.
