Product details
Overview
MC33078DGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual high-speed, low-noise bipolar operational amplifier designed for precision audio and data-signal conditioning. It delivers 7 V/µs slew rate, 16 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 4.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, ±18 V dual-supply operation, and 0.002% total harmonic distortion - enabling high-fidelity signal amplification in analog front-ends and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the MC33078DGKR datasheet, MC33078DGKR pinout, MC33078DGKR application, or MC33078DGKR equivalent, key selection criteria include low-noise performance at audio frequencies, rail-to-rail output swing capability under 2-kΩ load, thermal stability across –40°C to 85°C, and compatibility with MSOP-8 PCB layouts requiring minimal board area.
Technical Context
The MC33078DGKR implements a complementary bipolar input stage with symmetrical sink/source output drive, supporting wide common-mode input range (±13 V) and large output voltage swing (±14.6 V at 10-kΩ load). Its unity-gain-stable architecture features 40° phase margin with 100-pF capacitive load and exhibits <0.15 mV typical input offset voltage with 2 µV/°C drift.
Designed for dual-supply systems, it operates from ±5 V to ±18 V with supply current of 2.5 mA per channel at 25°C. The device maintains stable AC gain (≥85 dB at 20 kHz) and high CMRR (≥80 dB) across temperature, making it suitable for DC-coupled transducer interfaces and active filter stages where linearity and dynamic range are critical.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE5532DR | Higher quiescent current (8 mA/ch), higher noise (5 nV/√Hz), same GBW (10 MHz) | Optimized for professional audio; less suitable for battery-powered sensor nodes due to power draw | Select NE5532DR when absolute lowest THD (<0.0005%) is required and supply current is not constrained |
| OPA2134PA | FET-input (50 fA IB), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), lower slew rate (20 V/µs), rail-to-rail output | Better for high-impedance sources (e.g., piezoelectric sensors); unsuitable for driving low-Z loads like 600-Ω audio lines | Select OPA2134PA when interfacing with >1-MΩ source impedances or requiring ultra-low input bias current |
Compared with NE5532DR and OPA2134PA, the MC33078DGKR offers optimal balance of low noise (4.5 nV/√Hz), high slew rate (7 V/µs), and moderate supply current (2.5 mA/ch), making it ideal for space-constrained industrial analog front-ends where both precision and drive capability matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MC33078DGKR can drive without oscillation?
The MC33078DGKR remains stable with up to 380 pF load capacitance when driving a 600-Ω load, 560 pF with a 2-kΩ load, and 590 pF with a 10-kΩ load. For loads exceeding these values, adding a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between the output and capacitive load restores stability by isolating the pole.
Does the MC33078DGKR support single-supply operation?
The MC33078DGKR is specified for dual-supply operation from ±5 V to ±18 V. While it can function with asymmetric supplies (e.g., +15 V / 0 V), its input common-mode range extends only to within ~1.4 V of each rail, and output swing does not reach ground - making true single-supply use impractical without level-shifting circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MC33078DGKR in its VSSOP-8 package?
The MC33078DGKR in the DGK (VSSOP-8) package has a junction-to-air thermal resistance (θJA) of 172°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (single-layer board, no copper pour); actual θJA improves significantly with PCB copper heatsinking under the exposed pad.
How does the MC33078DGKR's input offset voltage drift with temperature?
The MC33078DGKR exhibits an input offset voltage temperature coefficient (αVIO) of 2 µV/°C over the full –40°C to +85°C range. At 25°C, typical VIO is 0.15 mV; this increases by ~210 µV over a 105°C span, resulting in worst-case offset of ~0.36 mV at temperature extremes.
Is the MC33078DGKR RoHS compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, the MC33078DGKR is RoHS compliant (lead-free, NIPDAU finish) and rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life) at 260°C peak reflow temperature, per JEDEC J-STD-020. This allows standard SMT assembly without baking or special handling prior to reflow.
