Product details
Overview
LP2904D from Texas Instruments is a dual ultra-low-power operational amplifier designed for battery-operated and space-constrained analog signal conditioning. It delivers 54 µA typical supply current, 2 mV typical input offset voltage, and operates from 3 V to 32 V single supply - enabling use in portable instrumentation, LCD biasing, and low-voltage sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the LP2904D datasheet, LP2904D pinout, LP2904D application, or LP2904D equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed –40°C to +85°C operation, rail-to-rail input (down to GND), output swing within 1.9 V of rails, and SOIC-8 pin compatibility with LM2904/LM358 for drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
Technical Context
The LP2904D integrates two independent, unity-gain-stable op-amps with Darlington-source/emitter-follower output stages that maintain quiescent current independence from load current. Its input common-mode range extends from ground to VCC – 1.5 V, supporting true single-supply operation without level-shifting circuitry.
It features 100 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 50 V/ms slew rate - optimized for precision DC-coupled amplification and filtering rather than high-speed signal processing. Input bias current remains at 2 nA (typ) across temperature, enabling high-impedance sensor interfacing without significant error drift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3 V to 32 V - supports wide-input industrial power rails and long-life battery systems (e.g., 2×AA to 24 V). |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 54 µA (typ) - enables multi-year operation on coin cells or energy-harvesting sources. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 2 mV (typ), 10 mV (max over –40°C to +85°C) - ensures <0.2% gain error in 1 V full-scale sensor amplifiers. |
| Input Bias Current | 2 nA (typ) - permits use with >100 MΩ source impedances (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoresistive sensors). |
| Common-Mode Input Range | 0 V to VCC – 1.5 V - allows direct GND-referenced signal acquisition without input biasing networks. |
| Output Voltage Swing | VOL = 0.7 V (typ), VOH = VCC – 1.9 V (max) - delivers usable dynamic range in 5 V or 12 V systems. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 100 kHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters, thermocouple amplifiers, and slow-loop control feedback paths. |
Pinout & Package
LP2904D is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish. Thermal resistance RθJA is 118.8°C/W, suitable for ambient temperatures up to +85°C without forced airflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Channel 1 Output | Amplified output of first op-amp; capable of sourcing 7 mA / sinking 4 mA into resistive loads. |
| 2 | Channel 1 Inverting Input | Inverts input signal when used in standard inverting configuration; accepts inputs down to GND. |
| 3 | Channel 1 Noninverting Input | Noninverting input node; supports common-mode voltages from 0 V to VCC – 1.5 V. |
| 4 | GND | Analog ground reference; must be connected directly to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| 5 | Channel 2 Noninverting Input | Independent noninverting input for second amplifier; electrically isolated from Channel 1. |
| 6 | Channel 2 Inverting Input | Independent inverting input for second amplifier; shares same input specification as Pin 2. |
| 7 | Channel 2 Output | Second independent output; identical drive capability and voltage swing to Pin 1. |
| 8 | VCC | Positive supply rail; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤2 mm from pin per layout guidelines. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2904DR | Higher 150 µA max supply current; 7 mV max offset; rated only to +70°C. | Not qualified for extended temperature industrial or automotive cabin use. | Select when cost is primary constraint and ambient temperature stays below 70°C. |
| TLV2462IDR | Rail-to-rail output; 600 µA supply current; 1.6 mV offset; 2.5 V min supply. | Requires ≥2.5 V supply; higher power consumption limits battery life. | Choose when full rail-to-rail output swing is mandatory and power budget allows ≥10× higher current. |
Compared with LM2904DR, LP2904D offers 2.8× lower max supply current and extended temperature qualification; compared with TLV2462IDR, it trades rail-to-rail output for 11× lower quiescent current and wider 3–32 V supply flexibility - making LP2904D optimal for long-life, wide-input, industrial-grade analog front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the LP2904D?
The LP2904D is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for industrial control panels, automotive cabin electronics, and outdoor metering equipment. This extended range exceeds the 0°C to +70°C limit of the LP358 and LM2904, and is validated per TI's production test flow with thermal characterization data confirming RθJA = 118.8°C/W under JEDEC JESD51-7 conditions.
Is the LP2904D pin-compatible with the LM2904?
Yes, the LP2904D uses the same SOIC-8 pinout as the LM2904 and LM358, with identical terminal assignments for VCC, GND, both inputs, and both outputs. This allows direct PCB replacement without layout modification. However, LP2904D improves upon LM2904 with lower supply current (54 µA vs 150 µA max) and extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C vs 0°C to +70°C).
Can the LP2904D operate from a 3.3 V supply?
Yes, the LP2904D supports supply voltages as low as 3 V, including standard 3.3 V rails. At 3.3 V, its output swing is specified to 0.7 V (low) and 1.4 V (high) under 0.35 mA load, enabling use in low-voltage sensor interfaces and logic-level analog conditioning. Input common-mode range extends down to GND, ensuring full functionality even with single-ended 3.3 V signaling.
Does the LP2904D require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the LP2904D is internally compensated for unity-gain stability across its full operating range. It achieves this with a 100 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 50 V/ms slew rate, eliminating the need for external compensation capacitors in standard inverting or noninverting configurations. This simplifies design and reduces BOM count in space-constrained applications like handheld medical devices.
What is the input bias current specification for the LP2904D at 85°C?
At +85°C, the LP2904D's input bias current is specified at 40 nA maximum (per amplifier), with a typical value of 20 nA. This is confirmed in Section 6.6 of the SLOS475A datasheet under "Electrical Characteristics: LP2904" with test condition TA = Full range (–40°C to +85°C). The low bias current enables reliable interfacing with high-impedance sources such as photodiodes and piezoelectric sensors even at elevated temperatures.
