Product details
Overview
LP324PWR from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power quadruple operational amplifier designed for battery-operated systems requiring wide supply range and ground-sensing inputs. It delivers 85 μA typical supply current, 2 mV typical input offset voltage, and 2 nA typical input bias current across 0°C to 70°C, enabling precision signal conditioning in portable instrumentation and LCD displays.
For engineers reviewing the LP324PWR datasheet, LP324PWR pinout, LP324PWR application, or LP324PWR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated TSSOP-14 pin functions, application-specific implementation value, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and thermal differences.
Technical Context
The LP324PWR implements four independent high-input-impedance op-amps in a single monolithic IC, each featuring rail-to-rail output swing (within 1.9 V of rails), input common-mode range extending to ground, and stable operation from 3 V to 32 V single supply. Its architecture prioritizes low quiescent current over bandwidth-gain-bandwidth product is 100 kHz at ±15 V-making it unsuitable for high-speed signal paths but ideal for sensor buffering and DC-coupled control loops.
Thermal design is constrained by its TSSOP-14 package, which exhibits 154 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Electrical behavior remains consistent across its full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), with input offset drift limited to 10 μV/°C and PSRR maintained at ≥75 dB under varying supply conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply current | 85 μA typical per amplifier - enables multi-month battery life in coin-cell-powered sensors and handheld meters. |
| Input offset voltage | 2 mV typical - supports accurate DC amplification without external trimming in 12-bit ADC front-ends. |
| Input bias current | 2 nA typical - preserves signal integrity when interfacing high-impedance sources like thermistors or photodiodes. |
| Supply voltage range | 3 V to 32 V single supply - accommodates both low-voltage microcontrollers and industrial 24 V rails without level-shifting. |
| Output voltage swing | (VCC − 1.9) V high / 1 V low - provides usable dynamic range for analog comparators and active filters near ground reference. |
| Gain bandwidth product | 100 kHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters below 10 kHz and slow-loop feedback in power supply monitors. |
| Common-mode rejection | ≥75 dB - rejects noise on shared ground traces in mixed-signal PCBs with digital switching activity. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-14 package (PW), 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm footprint, 1.2 mm max height, lead pitch 0.65 mm, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu/Sn finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 1OUT | Output | Amplifier A output - drives loads up to 10 mA source/sink while maintaining linearity within specified swing limits. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low supply current | 85 μA typical per op-amp - reduces total system standby power to <350 μA for four-channel sensing nodes. |

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 | Higher supply current (1.2 mA typical), wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C), same SOIC-14 pinout. | Better suited for mains-powered equipment where power efficiency is secondary to thermal robustness. | Select LM324DR only if ambient temperature exceeds 70°C or if higher drive strength (40 mA output) is required. |
| LP2902PWR | Identical electrical specs but rated for −40°C to +85°C; same TSSOP-14 package and pinout as LP324PWR. | Required for automotive or outdoor industrial deployments needing extended temperature qualification. | Choose LP2902PWR when operating environment exceeds 70°C - no layout change needed, but verify thermal margin at max TA. |
Compared with LM324DR, LP324PWR reduces quiescent power by >90% but sacrifices output drive and temperature range; compared with LP2902PWR, it trades −40°C capability for lower cost and qualification overhead in commercial-grade applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for LP324PWR?
The LP324PWR is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This specification is defined in the Recommended Operating Conditions table of the official TI datasheet SLOS460B. Exceeding +70°C may cause parametric shifts in offset voltage, bias current, and output swing. For designs requiring −40°C to +85°C operation, consider LP2902PWR as a direct alternative with identical pinout and electrical behavior.
Is LP324PWR pin-compatible with LM324?
Yes, LP324PWR is fully pin-compatible with LM324 in TSSOP-14 packaging. Both devices share identical pin numbering, terminal functions, and electrical interface definitions per TI's documentation. This allows LP324PWR to serve as a drop-in replacement in existing LM324-based layouts, delivering ultra-low-power operation without PCB redesign - provided the application operates within the LP324PWR's 0°C to +70°C temperature range and does not require LM324's higher output drive capability.
What is the typical input offset voltage of LP324PWR?
The typical input offset voltage of LP324PWR is 2 mV at TA = 25°C, with a maximum of 9 mV across its full operating temperature range (0°C to +70°C). This value is measured under standard test conditions: VCC = 5 V, VIC = VCC/2, RL = 100 kΩ to ground. The low offset enables accurate DC amplification in sensor interfaces such as thermistor-based temperature measurement or strain gauge bridges without external nulling circuitry.
Does LP324PWR support single-supply operation?
Yes, LP324PWR fully supports true single-supply operation. Its input common-mode voltage range extends to ground (0 V), and its output can swing within 1.9 V of the positive rail and down to 1 V above ground under load. This allows direct interfacing with microcontroller ADC references and ground-referenced sensors without dual supplies or level-shifting components - a key enabler for compact, low-cost portable electronics using the LP324PWR.
What package type is used for LP324PWR?
LP324PWR uses the TSSOP-14 (PW) package: a 14-pin thin shrink small-outline package measuring 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and 1.2 mm maximum height. It features NiPdAu/Sn lead finish, complies with RoHS, and carries JEDEC MO-153 registration. This surface-mount package supports high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly, with verified stencil and land pattern guidelines published by Texas Instruments for reliable reflow soldering.
