Product details
Overview
LM2904WD from STMicroelectronics is a low-power dual operational amplifier designed for single-supply operation in automotive and industrial control systems. It features 100 dB DC voltage gain, 1.1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 500 µA per channel supply current, ±2 nA input offset current, and rail-to-rail output swing (0 V to VCC − 1.5 V) - enabling direct interfacing with +5 V logic systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2904WD datasheet, LM2904WD pinout, LM2904WD application, or LM2904WD equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q100), temperature-compensated input bias current (20 nA), wide 3–30 V supply range, input common-mode range extending to negative rail, and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.
Technical Context
The LM2904WD integrates two independent high-gain op-amps with internal frequency compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its input stage uses PNP transistors enabling common-mode voltage down to ground and differential input range equal to full supply voltage.
It operates linearly from a single supply (3–30 V), delivering 40 mA short-circuit output current and supporting output swing within 1.5 V of VCC and to ground - critical for sensor signal conditioning and transducer amplification in battery-powered or 5 V–24 V industrial nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 30 V - supports direct connection to 5 V logic rails and 24 V industrial buses without level-shifting. |
| DC Voltage Gain | 100 dB - enables precise DC-coupled amplification with <1 mV error at G=100. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1.1 MHz - sufficient for audio-band filtering, motor feedback, and medium-speed sensor signal processing. |
| Supply Current per Channel | 500 µA - allows dual-op-amp operation on microamp-level power budgets (e.g., battery-backed modules). |
| Input Offset Voltage | 7 mV max (LM2904W) - sets baseline accuracy limit for precision DC gain blocks and summing circuits. |
| Input Bias Current | 20 nA (typ, temp-compensated) - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sensor sources (e.g., thermistors, photodiodes). |
| Output Voltage Swing | 0 V to (VCC − 1.5 V) - delivers full dynamic range into loads referenced to ground under single-supply conditions. |
| ESD Protection | 2 kV HBM - provides robustness against handling and board-level electrostatic discharge in automotive assembly lines. |
Pinout & Package
LM2904WD is supplied in an SO-8 (Small Outline-8) plastic micropackage, compliant with ECOPACK® environmental standards and optimized for automated surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input A | Accepts inverted-phase signal for A amplifier; input common-mode range includes ground. |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input A | Accepts non-inverted-phase signal for A amplifier; supports rail-to-rail common-mode input. |
| 3 | Output A | Amplified output of Channel A; swings 0 V to (VCC − 1.5 V) with 40 mA short-circuit capability. |
| 4 | VCC− (Ground) | Power reference terminal for single-supply operation; all inputs and outputs referenced to this node. |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail (3–30 V); supplies both amplifiers; current draw independent of voltage magnitude. |
| 6 | Output B | Amplified output of Channel B; electrically isolated from Channel A; identical performance specs. |
| 7 | Inverting Input B | Independent inverting input for B amplifier; no crosstalk with Channel A under normal operation. |
| 8 | Non-inverting Input B | Independent non-inverting input for B amplifier; enables dual-channel signal conditioning on one die. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Frequency Compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation capacitors - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity in stable unity-gain configurations. |
| Rail-to-Rail Input Common-Mode Range | Includes negative rail (ground) - enables direct amplification of signals referenced to system ground without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Low Input Offset Current | 2 nA max - ensures minimal error when driving high-impedance feedback networks (e.g., >1 MΩ gain-setting resistors). |
| Automotive Qualification | AEC-Q100 qualified - validated for operation from −40 °C to +125 °C with enhanced reliability screening for engine control, body electronics, and ADAS subsystems. |
| Single-Supply Operation | Operates from 3 V to 30 V - supports legacy 5 V, modern 3.3 V microcontrollers, and 24 V industrial PLC I/O modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-power op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2904DT | Same core architecture, SO-8 package, but commercial grade (−40 °C to +85 °C) and non-automotive qualified. | Lacks AEC-Q100 validation; unsuitable for under-hood or safety-critical modules requiring extended temperature compliance. | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer or non-automotive industrial designs where −40 °C to +125 °C operation is not required. |
| TSV912IDT | Higher GBW (8 MHz), lower input offset (1.5 mV typ), rail-to-rail output, but higher supply current (820 µA/ch) and no automotive qualification. | Better AC performance and DC accuracy, but incompatible with strict automotive thermal or ESD requirements. | Prefer for high-speed sensor interfaces where bandwidth >1 MHz is essential and automotive qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with LM2904DT and TSV912IDT, the LM2904WD uniquely balances automotive-grade reliability, ultra-low quiescent current, and proven single-supply functionality - making it optimal for cost-constrained, thermally demanding automotive body electronics where long-term field stability is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for LM2904WD?
The LM2904WD has a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C, verified per absolute maximum ratings in ST's Doc ID 9893 Rev 11. This rating supports continuous operation in under-hood automotive environments when combined with appropriate PCB copper pour and thermal vias per SO-8 thermal resistance data (RthJA = 125 °C/W).
Does LM2904WD support true rail-to-rail output swing?
No - LM2904WD delivers output swing from 0 V to (VCC − 1.5 V) under load, as specified in electrical characteristics (Table 3). It achieves ground-referenced output but cannot reach VCC; for full rail-to-rail output, consider ST's TSV912 or TSX912 families.
Can LM2904WD drive a 2 kΩ load at 5 V supply while maintaining linearity?
Yes - at VCC = 5 V, LM2904WD delivers linear output swing up to 3.5 V (VCC − 1.5 V) into 2 kΩ, with typical open-loop gain of 100 dB ensuring <0.1% distortion at 1 kHz (THD = 0.02%). Output current capability exceeds 20 mA, well above the 2.5 mA required by 2 kΩ at 5 V.
Is the LM2904WD pinout compatible with legacy LM2904 variants?
Yes - LM2904WD uses the industry-standard SO-8 pinout identical to LM2904DT, LM2904D, and LM2904VQDR. Pin 1 is Inverting Input A, Pin 2 is Non-inverting Input A, Pin 3 is Output A, Pin 4 is VCC−, Pin 5 is VCC+, Pin 6 is Output B, Pin 7 is Inverting Input B, and Pin 8 is Non-inverting Input B.
