Product details
Overview
LM324KANSR from Texas Instruments is a quad operational amplifier in SOIC-14 package, designed for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer applications. It delivers rail-to-rail input (common-mode down to V–), 36V max supply range, ±3mV max input offset voltage (25°C), 1.2MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 240µA typical quiescent current per amplifier - enabling precision signal conditioning in single-supply systems like power supply monitoring and sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LM324KANSR datasheet, LM324KANSR pinout, LM324KANSR application, or LM324KANSR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specs, validated SOIC-14 pin functions, real-world use cases in AC inverters and multi-function printers, and two confirmed drop-in alternatives with documented parameter trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LM324KANSR belongs to the legacy LM324 family and shares its core architecture: four independent high-voltage op amps with unity-gain stability, common-mode input range extending to the negative rail, and output swing within 1.5V of rails under load. It operates across 3V to 36V supply and supports ambient temperatures from 0°C to +70°C - matching the original LM324 specification, not the extended-range B/BA versions.
Unlike the LM324B/LM324BA, the LM324KANSR does not include integrated EMI/RF filtering or enhanced ESD protection (HBM = 500V, not 2kV). Its input bias current is –20nA to –250nA (25°C), offset drift is ±7µV/°C, and open-loop gain is ≥25 V/mV over full temperature range - confirming its classification as a standard-performance, non-B-version variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial power rails and battery-backed systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage (max) | ±7mV at 25°C - sets baseline DC error in precision amplification; higher than B/BA variants but sufficient for non-critical sensing. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1.2MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to ~100kHz at gain=10, suitable for anti-aliasing and active filtering. |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 0.7mA typical (4-amp total) - low enough for always-on monitoring circuits in energy-constrained embedded systems. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | V– to (V+) – 2V - allows direct interface with ground-referenced sensors and single-supply transducer outputs. |
| Output Swing (min) | 1.5V from positive rail, 20mV from negative rail (RL ≤10kΩ) - ensures usable dynamic range near supply rails in 5V/12V systems. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade applications including desktop PCs and home appliances. |
Pinout & Package
LM324KANSR uses the D (SOIC-14) package: 8.65mm × 6mm body, 1.27mm pitch, surface-mount, plastic encapsulated. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard SOIC convention (counterclockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1IN– (Pin 2) | Inverting input | Negative feedback node for amplifier A; accepts signals down to V–. |
| 1IN+ (Pin 3) | Non-inverting input | Reference or sensor input for amplifier A; common-mode range includes V–. |
| 1OUT (Pin 1) | Output | Amplifier A output; drives loads up to ±40mA short-circuit current. |
| VCC+ (Pin 4) | Positive supply | Main power rail (3V–36V); shared across all four amplifiers. |
| 2IN+ (Pin 5) | Non-inverting input | Input for amplifier B; electrically isolated from other channels. |
| 2IN– (Pin 6) | Inverting input | Feedback node for amplifier B; same CMVR and offset specs as Pin 2. |
| 2OUT (Pin 7) | Output | Amplifier B output; identical drive capability and settling time to Pin 1. |
| VCC– (Pin 11) | Negative supply / ground | Return path for single-supply operation; must be connected even when used as ground. |
| 3IN– (Pin 9) | Inverting input | Feedback node for amplifier C; matches Pin 2/6 performance. |
| 3IN+ (Pin 10) | Non-inverting input | Input for amplifier C; supports rail-to-rail common-mode operation. |
| 3OUT (Pin 8) | Output | Amplifier C output; fully independent; no crosstalk beyond 120dB rejection. |
| 4IN– (Pin 13) | Inverting input | Feedback node for amplifier D; functionally identical to Pins 2, 6, 9. |
| 4IN+ (Pin 12) | Non-inverting input | Input for amplifier D; compatible with 0V-referenced sources. |
| 4OUT (Pin 14) | Output | Amplifier D output; capable of driving capacitive loads up to 100pF. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM324DR | Same SOIC-14 package, identical electrical specs (±7mV VOS, 0°C–70°C), TI-manufactured, no K-suffix marking. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in commercial-grade designs where K-suffix is not required for traceability. | Select LM324DR when sourcing flexibility is prioritized and K-suffix batch tracking is unnecessary. |
| LM2902N | DIP-14 package, same 0°C–70°C range, ±7mV VOS, but lower max supply (30V vs 36V) and reduced CMRR (50dB min vs 65dB min). | Suitable only for through-hole prototyping or legacy DIP-based systems; not drop-in due to package mismatch. | Choose LM2902N only for hand-soldered evaluation or repair of older DIP-based boards. |
Compared with LM324DR, the LM324KANSR offers identical performance with manufacturer-traceable K-suffix batch coding; versus LM2902N, it provides higher supply tolerance and better noise immunity - making it preferable for new SOIC-based industrial designs requiring long-term component consistency.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for LM324KANSR?
The LM324KANSR has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 36V between VCC+ and VCC–. Operation above this risks permanent damage. Recommended operating range is 3V to 36V, and the device maintains specified performance across this full span - making it suitable for 24V industrial rails and 36V battery systems. Always observe derating guidelines per TI's SLOS066AE datasheet Section 6.1.
Does LM324KANSR support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the LM324KANSR supports rail-to-rail input common-mode voltage range down to the negative supply rail (V–), which may be ground in single-supply configurations. Its input stage operates from V– to (V+) – 2V at full temperature range - enabling direct interfacing with grounded sensors and transducers without external biasing. This is confirmed in Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Table 6-7 of the TI datasheet.
What is the input offset voltage specification for LM324KANSR at room temperature?
The LM324KANSR has a maximum input offset voltage of ±7mV at 25°C, per Table 6-7 in the TI SLOS066AE datasheet. This value applies to the LM324, LM324K, and LM324A families - distinct from the tighter ±2mV/±3mV specs of the newer LM324B/BA variants. The ±7mV limit defines worst-case DC error in precision gain stages and must be factored into system-level calibration budgets.
Is LM324KANSR pin-compatible with LM324B or LM324BA variants?
No, LM324KANSR is not pin-compatible with LM324B or LM324BA in functional or electrical behavior - though all share the same SOIC-14 physical pinout. The LM324B/BA offer improved specs (±3mV VOS, 2kV HBM ESD, EMI filtering), wider temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and different quiescent current profiles. Substituting LM324KANSR for B/BA versions may degrade noise immunity, thermal stability, and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
What is the operating temperature range specified for LM324KANSR?
The LM324KANSR is rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient operating temperature - consistent with the original LM324 commercial-grade specification. This range is explicitly defined in Section 6.3 (Recommended Operating Conditions) and Table 6-7 of the TI SLOS066AE datasheet. It is not rated for industrial (–40°C to +85°C) or automotive temperature ranges, and performance outside 0°C–70°C is not guaranteed.
