Product details
Overview
MC3303DG4 from Texas Instruments is a quadruple low-power operational amplifier IC designed for single-supply or dual-supply operation across 3 V to 36 V. It features true differential inputs, Class AB output stage, internal frequency compensation, and low input bias current (–0.2 µA typ at 25°C). It operates from –40°C to 85°C and delivers ±10 V peak output swing into 2 kΩ with 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth - widely used in industrial sensor signal conditioning and analog front-end circuits.
For engineers reviewing the MC3303DG4 datasheet, MC3303DG4 pinout, MC3303DG4 application, or MC3303DG4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its rail-to-rail input capability (common-mode range includes VCC–), 8 mV max input offset voltage at 25°C, thermal performance in SOIC-14 package (θJA = 86°C/W), and compatibility with legacy µA741-based designs requiring lower quiescent current.
Technical Context
The MC3303DG4 integrates four independent op-amps sharing common supply rails (VCC+ and VCC–) and employs a Class AB output stage enabling output swing from VCC– to VCC+ – 1.5 V under load. Its true differential input stage supports common-mode voltages down to the negative rail, and internal frequency compensation ensures stable unity-gain operation without external components.
Each amplifier provides short-circuit protection and exhibits crosstalk attenuation of 120 dB between channels at 1–20 kHz. The device uses bipolar process technology, delivering 0.6 V/µs slew rate and 9 kHz maximum-output-swing bandwidth at 20 VPP, optimized for DC-coupled precision amplification rather than high-speed AC signal processing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | Single: 3 V to 36 V; Dual: ±2.5 V to ±15 V - enables direct interface with 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 8 mV max at 25°C (–40°C to 85°C full range: 12 mV) - determines baseline DC error in precision gain stages and sensor bridges. |
| Input Bias Current | –0.2 µA typ at 25°C (–1 µA max over temperature) - minimizes voltage drop across high-impedance source networks like photodiode or thermistor interfaces. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1 MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~100 kHz for moderate-gain configurations (e.g., G = 10). |
| Output Voltage Swing | 10 V min into 2 kΩ (VCC+ = 14 V, VCC– = 0 V); extends to VCC– - allows full utilization of single-supply rails in transducer amplifiers. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VCC– to VCC+ – 2 V - permits direct sensing of signals referenced to ground in single-supply configurations. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 2.8 mA typ per quad (7 mA max) - consumes less than half the current of µA741, critical for battery-powered instrumentation. |

| 8 | VCC+ (Positive Supply) | Primary power rail; supplies all four amplifiers; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF) required near this pin for stability. |
| 9 | Amplifier 3 Output | Third channel output; usable for multi-stage filtering (e.g., active low-pass + buffer) without external ICs. |
| 10 | Amplifier 3 Inverting Input | Supports feedback network placement adjacent to Pin 9; trace length matching recommended for noise immunity. |
| 11 | Amplifier 3 Non-Inverting Input | Enables three-channel simultaneous signal conditioning (e.g., three-phase motor current sensing). |
| 12 | Amplifier 4 Non-Inverting Input | Fourth independent input; suitable for reference voltage buffering or auxiliary monitoring functions. |
| 13 | Amplifier 4 Inverting Input | Allows configuration as summing junction or active filter node; shares bias circuitry with other inputs. |
| 14 | Amplifier 4 Output | Final output channel; completes quad functionality; pin-compatible with MC3403D for design reuse. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple low-power operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC3403DR | Rated for 0°C to 70°C only; 10 mV max input offset voltage (vs. 8 mV for MC3303DG4); otherwise identical pinout, specs, and SOIC-14 packaging. | Suitable for commercial-grade consumer electronics but not extended-temperature industrial control panels. | Select MC3403DR only when ambient operating temperature remains within 0–70°C and higher input offset is acceptable. |
| LM324DT | Wider supply range (3–32 V), higher input offset (7 mV typ), no guaranteed 120 dB crosstalk; same SOIC-14 footprint and pinout. | Valid for cost-sensitive general-purpose amplification where channel isolation is non-critical (e.g., LED dimming feedback). | Choose LM324DT for price-driven designs where MC3303DG4's tighter offset and superior crosstalk are unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MC3303DG4?
The MC3303DG4 is characterized for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C. This extended temperature range is confirmed in the official Texas Instruments datasheet SLOS101C and distinguishes it from the MC3403 series, which is rated only from 0°C to 70°C. Thermal derating is not required within this range when mounted on standard FR-4 PCBs with adequate copper pour.
Does the MC3303DG4 support single-supply operation with rail-to-rail input?
Yes, the MC3303DG4 supports true single-supply operation from 3 V to 36 V, and its common-mode input voltage range includes the negative supply rail (VCC–). While it does not offer rail-to-rail output swing, it delivers output down to VCC– and up to VCC+ – 1.5 V, making it suitable for ground-referenced sensor interfaces without level-shifting circuitry.
Is the MC3303DG4 pin-compatible with the MC3403 series?
Yes, the MC3303DG4 is fully pin-compatible with MC3403D, MC3403DR, and MC3403N variants in the same package types (SOIC-14, PDIP-14, TSSOP-14). All share identical pin assignments, supply connections, and amplifier channel ordering - enabling direct substitution in existing layouts when extended temperature range or lower input offset is required.
What is the typical quiescent supply current for the MC3303DG4?
The typical total supply current for the MC3303DG4 is 2.8 mA at 25°C with no load, and it remains below 7 mA across the full –40°C to +85°C operating range. This represents less than half the quiescent current of a quad µA741, significantly reducing thermal load and power budget in multi-channel analog systems.
Can the MC3303DG4 drive a 2 kΩ load while maintaining specified output swing?
Yes, the MC3303DG4 guarantees a minimum peak output voltage swing of ±10 V into a 2 kΩ load when operated with VCC+ = 14 V and VCC– = 0 V. This specification is verified across temperature and ensures reliable performance in standard industrial transducer interface circuits without requiring external boost stages.
