Product details
Overview
MC3303DT from STMicroelectronics is a quad bipolar operational amplifier with true differential inputs, rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +105°C), 3V–36V single-supply or ±15V–±18V dual-supply operation, 500 nA max input bias current, and internal compensation. It delivers low crossover distortion via Class AB output stage and supports precision signal conditioning in sensor interfaces and analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MC3303DT datasheet, MC3303DT pinout, MC3303DT application, or MC3303DT equivalent, key selection criteria include its rail-to-rail output swing capability in single-supply mode, −40°C to +105°C operating range, 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 0.35 V/µs slew rate, and 70 dB minimum CMRR - all critical for stable DC-coupled amplification in embedded control systems.
Technical Context
The MC3303 employs a two-stage bipolar architecture with split-collector transconductance reduction enabling 8 pF internal compensation and minimizing die area. Its first stage supports common-mode input down to the negative rail - eliminating external biasing in single-supply configurations.
The second stage uses a current-source-loaded amplifier, while the Class AB output stage ensures zero-crossing distortion in dual-supply use and ground-swing capability in single-supply mode. All four amplifiers share an internal low-drift voltage regulator for consistent biasing and improved PSRR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +3V to +36V (single) or ±15V to ±18V (dual) - enables direct interface with 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and 24V industrial rails |
| Input Bias Current | ≤500 nA max - minimizes offset error in high-impedance sensor signal paths (e.g., thermocouples, photodiodes) |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain up to ~10× at 100 kHz without phase margin loss |
| Slew Rate | 0.35 V/µs - limits full-scale step response time to ≥28.6 µs for 10 V output swing |
| CMRR | ≥70 dB - rejects common-mode noise from shared ground or supply coupling in multi-channel systems |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | Indefinite short to ground per channel - allows safe operation in fault-prone industrial I/O stages |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, motor drive feedback, and factory automation environments |
Pinout & Package
MC3303DT is supplied in a 14-pin Small Outline (SO-14) plastic micropackage, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format optimized for automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amp 1) | Differential input node for first op-amp; accepts inverted signal path with 0.3 MΩ input impedance |
| 2 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 1) | Differential input node for first op-amp; common-mode range extends to V− (ground in single supply) |
| 3 | Output (Amp 1) | Class AB buffered output capable of swinging within 1.7 V of V+ and to ground in single supply |
| 4 | V− (Ground / Negative Supply) | Power reference for all four amplifiers; serves as return path for bias and load currents |

| 7 | Output (Amp 2) | Independent output stage with identical short-circuit protection and voltage swing limits as Pin 3 |
| 8 | V+ (Positive Supply) | Main power rail for all amplifiers; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for stability |
| 9 | Inverting Input (Amp 3) | Third amplifier's inverting input; matched input characteristics enable multi-stage filter designs |
| 10 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 3) | Third amplifier's non-inverting input; supports high-Z buffer or differential gain configurations |
| 11 | Output (Amp 3) | Third output; usable for active filtering or signal summing without crosstalk exceeding −120 dB |
| 12 | Inverting Input (Amp 4) | Fourth amplifier's inverting input; pin-compatible with legacy UA741-based layouts when used singly |
| 13 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 4) | Fourth amplifier's non-inverting input; supports reference voltage generation or comparator hysteresis |
| 14 | Output (Amp 4) | Final output; verified for 10 mA continuous load and 30 mA short-circuit current per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Internally compensated design | Guarantees stability with unity-gain feedback across full temperature range - no external compensation capacitor required |
| Channel separation >120 dB | Prevents inter-channel crosstalk in multi-stage active filters or simultaneous sampling circuits |
| Short-circuit protected outputs | Allows safe use in motor driver feedback, solenoid monitoring, or industrial I/O where accidental shorts occur |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM324DT | Higher input offset voltage (7 mV max), lower CMRR (65 dB min), no guaranteed −40°C operation | Not qualified for extended industrial temperature range; less stable in precision DC-coupled loops | Select LM324DT only for cost-sensitive commercial-grade applications below 85°C ambient |
| TL084CDT | JFET-input (50 pA bias), higher slew rate (13 V/µs), but requires ±5V minimum supply and lacks short-circuit protection | Unsuitable for single-supply ≤5V systems or fault-tolerant current sensing | Choose TL084CDT for high-speed AC-coupled signal chains where input impedance >10¹² Ω is mandatory |
Compared with LM324DT and TL084CDT, MC3303DT uniquely balances industrial temperature range, single-supply rail-to-ground output, short-circuit resilience, and bipolar precision - making it optimal for ruggedized analog signal paths where reliability and DC accuracy coexist.

FAQ
Is MC3303DT pin-compatible with UA741-based designs?
No - UA741 is a single op-amp in 8-pin DIP; MC3303DT is a quad op-amp in 14-pin SO package. However, each individual amplifier within MC3303DT matches UA741's functional behavior (input stage, gain, compensation), allowing drop-in replacement per channel when layout is adapted to SO-14 pinout and supply decoupling is updated.
Can MC3303DT operate from a +5V single supply with rail-to-rail output?
It operates from +5V single supply, but output swing is limited to approximately 0 V to +3.3 V (not true rail-to-rail). The datasheet specifies VOPP = VCC − 1.7 V for RL ≥ 10 kΩ at +5V, meaning maximum positive swing is +3.3 V. Ground-swing capability is confirmed; full top-rail reach requires higher supply or rail-sparing design margins.
What is the maximum capacitive load MC3303DT can drive without instability?
MC3303DT is internally compensated for unity-gain stability with resistive loads. Driving >100 pF capacitive load directly risks peaking or oscillation. For loads >100 pF, a series isolation resistor (≥100 Ω) between output and capacitance is required to maintain ≥43° phase margin, as validated in the datasheet's typical performance curves under CL = 100 pF test conditions.
Does MC3303DT support dual-supply operation at ±12V?
Yes - absolute maximum ratings allow ±18V, so ±12V is fully supported. Electrical characteristics (e.g., input offset, CMRR, slew rate) are specified at ±15V and remain valid at ±12V. Performance metrics such as output swing (±10 V min into 2 kΩ) and PSRR (77 dB min) are maintained, confirming reliable operation across the entire ±12V to ±18V dual-supply range.
