Product details
Overview
LM833P from Texas Instruments is a dual high-speed audio operational amplifier designed for preamplification and signal conditioning in HiFi, PCM, and RIAA phono stages. It delivers 7 V/μs slew rate, 16 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 0.002% THD at 20 Hz–20 kHz, ±14.6 V output swing (±15 V supply), and 4.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise - enabling low-distortion, wide-dynamic-range analog audio paths.
For engineers reviewing the LM833P datasheet, LM833P pinout, LM833P application, or LM833P equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel rail-to-rail output capability, low-noise performance in microphone and phono preamp topologies, thermal stability across –40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with ±5 V to ±18 V dual supplies in space-constrained PDIP-8 layouts.
Technical Context
The LM833P integrates two independent high-fidelity op-amps sharing a common substrate but with >120 dB inter-channel crosstalk rejection. Its internal compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation with ≥40° phase margin into 2 kΩ loads and 100 pF capacitive loads, supporting robust transient response without external compensation.
It employs bipolar input transistors optimized for low voltage noise and low THD, with symmetrical sink/source current capability (±29 mA short-circuit) and large-signal bandwidth exceeding 120 kHz at 27 VPP. Input offset voltage is trimmed to 0.15 mV (typ), and open-loop AC gain remains ≥800 dB at 20 kHz.
Key Specifications

| Output Voltage Swing | –14.6 V to +14.1 V (±15 V supply, 2 kΩ load) - provides >28 VPP headroom for dynamic audio peaks |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 100 dB (typ) - rejects power supply ripple and ground noise in single-ended sensor interfaces |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±18 V - supports flexible system-level power architecture including legacy ±12 V and modern ±15 V rails |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE5532P | Higher input bias current (300 nA vs 750 nA typ), slightly lower slew rate (9 V/μs), same 0.002% THD and 10 MHz GBW | Better suited for higher-source-impedance circuits (e.g., passive tone stacks); less ideal for ultra-low-noise mic preamps | Select NE5532P when circuit source impedance exceeds 10 kΩ or when legacy design reuse is required |
| OP27GP | Lower input offset (25 μV), lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), but single-channel only and no dual configuration; requires two devices | Used where highest precision and lowest noise are mandatory, but board area and cost allow dual-part implementation | Choose OP27GP only for monaural ultra-high-fidelity paths where channel matching is not required |
Compared with NE5532P and OP27GP, the LM833P offers optimal balance of dual-channel integration, 4.5 nV/√Hz noise, and ±14.6 V output swing in a single PDIP-8 package - making it preferred for stereo audio signal chains where space, cost, and channel matching are critical.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the LM833P support?
The LM833P operates from ±5 V to ±18 V dual supplies, with recommended conditions spanning ±5 V to ±18 V at –40°C to +85°C. Absolute maximum ratings permit ±18 V on each rail, and the device maintains specified performance across this full range - including 0.002% THD and 7 V/μs slew rate at ±15 V. Operation below ±5 V is not characterized and may degrade output swing and bandwidth.
Is the LM833P pin-compatible with other dual op-amps?
Yes, the LM833P is pin-for-pin compatible with industry-standard dual op-amps in PDIP-8 packages, including the NE5532P and RC4558P. Pin assignments match the standard dual op-amp layout: OUT1, IN1–, IN1+, VCC–, IN2+, IN2–, OUT2, VCC+. This allows direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modification, provided supply and signal-level constraints remain within LM833P specifications.
What is the typical input offset voltage of the LM833P?
The LM833P has a typical input offset voltage of 0.15 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of 3 mV over the full –40°C to +85°C temperature range. Its offset voltage drift is 2 μV/°C, ensuring stable DC operating points in precision audio summing and differential amplification circuits. This low offset minimizes audible "thump" during power-up and reduces DC error in active filter integrators.
Can the LM833P drive 600 Ω loads effectively?
Yes, the LM833P delivers ±10.7 V output swing into 600 Ω loads at ±15 V supplies, supporting 21.4 VPP signals with <0.002% THD. Its output stage provides ±29 mA short-circuit current and maintains ≥40° phase margin under these conditions - enabling reliable operation in professional line-driver and headphone-buffer applications without external current boosting.
How does the LM833P perform in RIAA phono preamplifier designs?
The LM833P is explicitly validated for RIAA phono preamplifier use in TI's SLOS481B datasheet, including a complete two-stage design example achieving <0.1 dB deviation from ideal RIAA response and <0.002% THD. Its low noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), low THD, and high channel isolation (>120 dB) preserve stereo imaging and minimize cartridge-induced distortion - making LM833P a preferred choice for high-fidelity analog vinyl playback systems.
