Product details
Overview
LM324AWPT from STMicroelectronics is a quad low-power operational amplifier in TSSOP-14 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 rail-to-rail output swing (26 V high-level, 20 mV low-level at 30 V supply), with input common-mode range extending to ground-enabling use in sensor signal conditioning, industrial analog front-ends, and battery-powered instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LM324AWPT datasheet, LM324AWPT pinout, LM324AWPT application, or LM324AWPT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3 mV max input offset voltage (25 °C), 700 V HBM ESD rating, 375 µA per-amplifier supply current, and guaranteed operation across 0 °C to 70 °C ambient temperature-critical for cost-sensitive, wide-voltage-range analog systems requiring robustness and precision.
Technical Context
The LM324AWPT implements internally frequency-compensated, high-gain DC-coupled amplifiers with PNP input stages enabling ground-sensing capability and rail-to-rail output stage architecture supporting full-swing operation into 2 kΩ loads. Its differential input voltage limit of ±32 V and absolute maximum supply of ±16 V / 32 V allow safe operation in noisy industrial environments.
Thermal design is supported by RthJA = 100 °C/W (TSSOP14) and RthJC = 32 °C/W, while ESD protection (700 V HBM, 1500 V CDM) meets automotive-grade reliability requirements without external clamping. Input bias current remains stable at 20 nA (typ) across temperature, minimizing error in high-impedance transducer interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM324WPT | Same package and pinout; lower ESD rating (250 V HBM vs. 700 V), higher Vio (5 mV max) | Not suitable for ESD-prone automotive or industrial assembly lines | Select only if cost is primary constraint and ESD exposure is controlled |
| TSB572IDT | 36 V supply, 0.15 mV Vio, 1.1 mA supply current, automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 | Higher accuracy and voltage range but consumes >2× current; requires layout redesign | Choose for next-gen designs needing enhanced precision, wider supply, or automotive qualification |
Compared with LM324WPT, LM324AWPT provides superior ESD robustness and tighter offset for production-ready industrial systems; versus TSB572IDT, it trades accuracy and voltage headroom for significantly lower quiescent power and legacy compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for LM324AWPT?
The absolute maximum supply voltage is 32 V for single-supply operation or ±16 V for dual supplies. Continuous operation above 30 V (single) or ±15 V (dual) risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading long-term reliability-even though the device may function temporarily. Derating is recommended for sustained 85 °C ambient conditions.
Does LM324AWPT support true rail-to-rail input?
No-LM324AWPT features input common-mode range that includes ground but extends only to VCC − 1.5 V at 25 °C (VCC − 2 V over full temperature). It does not accept inputs at the positive rail. However, its PNP input stage enables ground-referenced signal acquisition without external biasing, unlike rail-to-rail input op-amps.
Can LM324AWPT drive capacitive loads directly?
Stable operation is guaranteed for capacitive loads ≤100 pF with unity-gain configuration. Driving larger loads (e.g., >500 pF cables or ADC input capacitance) requires isolation via a series resistor (≥100 Ω) or external compensation to prevent peaking and oscillation, as confirmed by open-loop frequency response data in DS0985 Rev 8 Figure 10.
How does the 700 V HBM ESD rating impact board-level design?
The 700 V HBM rating means LM324AWPT can survive typical handling discharges without external protection diodes-reducing BOM count and PCB area. However, system-level IEC 61000-4-2 compliance still requires board-level TVS devices on exposed connectors, as HBM simulates human contact, not cable-borne surges.
