Product details
Overview
LM324ADT from STMicroelectronics is a low-power quad operational amplifier in SO14 package, designed for single-supply operation from 3 V to 30 V or dual supplies ±1.5 V to ±15 V. It delivers 1.3 MHz gain bandwidth, 100 dB large-signal voltage gain, and input common-mode range extending to ground-enabling precision signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces and 24 V PLC analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LM324ADT datasheet, LM324ADT pinout, LM324ADT application, or LM324ADT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3 mV max input offset voltage (25 °C), 375 µA per-amplifier supply current, rail-to-rail output swing capability under 2 kΩ load, and guaranteed operation across 0 °C to 70 °C ambient temperature.
Technical Context
The LM324ADT integrates four independent high-gain op-amps with internal frequency compensation, supporting unity-gain-stable operation without external components. Its PNP input stage enables true ground-sensing input common-mode range (0 V to VCC − 1.5 V) and low input bias current (20 nA typ).
It features open-collector-compatible output stages capable of sourcing up to 40 mA and sinking ≥10 mA, with output voltage swing within 1.5 V of rails at full load. The device exhibits 80 dB typical CMRR and 110 dB supply voltage rejection ratio at 25 °C, making it suitable for noisy industrial environments where DC accuracy and power supply immunity are critical.

FAQ
Is LM324ADT pin-compatible with LM324DT?
Yes-both share identical SO14 pinout, electrical specifications, and functional block diagram. The only differences are guaranteed input offset voltage (3 mV max for ADT vs. 5 mV for DT) and human-body-model ESD rating (800 V vs. 250 V). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from DT to ADT.
Can LM324ADT operate from a 3.3 V single supply?
Yes-LM324ADT is fully specified down to 3 V supply. At 3.3 V, it maintains 1.3 MHz gain bandwidth and 100 dB open-loop gain, with output swing reaching within 1.5 V of rails. Input common-mode range extends to ground, enabling direct interface with 3.3 V microcontroller ADC references.
What is the maximum capacitive load LM324ADT can drive without oscillation?
LM324ADT is unity-gain stable into ≥100 pF capacitive loads when properly decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitor between VCC+ and GND near the SO14 package. For loads >500 pF, a 10–100 Ω series resistor should be placed in series with the output to maintain phase margin above 45°.
Does LM324ADT support dual-supply operation with ±5 V rails?
Yes-LM324ADT supports dual supplies from ±1.5 V to ±15 V. With ±5 V rails, it delivers full 100 dB gain, 1.3 MHz bandwidth, and input common-mode range from −3.5 V to +3.5 V. Output swing reaches within 1.5 V of each rail, providing ±3.5 V usable dynamic range for bipolar signal processing.
