Product details
Overview
MC33078DRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual high-speed, low-noise bipolar operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in audio and data-acquisition systems. It delivers 7 V/µs slew rate, 16 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 4.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, ±14.6 V output swing (at ±15 V supply), and 0.002% total harmonic distortion - enabling high-fidelity amplification in professional audio mixers and sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MC33078DRE4 datasheet, MC33078DRE4 pinout, MC33078DRE4 application, or MC33078DRE4 equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (SOIC-8), confirmed dual-amplifier topology, validated noise and distortion performance at 20 Hz–20 kHz, thermal resistance (θJA = 97°C/W), and real-world stability limits with capacitive loads up to 560 pF.
Technical Context
The MC33078DRE4 integrates two independent high-slew-rate op-amps on a single die using complementary bipolar process technology. Each channel features symmetrical source/sink output drive (±29 mA short-circuit current), rail-to-rail input common-mode range (±14 V), and unity-gain-stable operation without external compensation.
Its internal architecture supports wide dual-supply operation (±5 V to ±18 V), achieves 800 dB open-loop AC gain at 20 kHz, and maintains >40° phase margin with 100 pF load - critical for maintaining transient fidelity in active filters and transimpedance stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±18 V - supports industrial dual-rail systems without level-shifting circuitry |
| Slew Rate | 7 V/µs - enables clean 10 VPP signal reproduction at ≥100 kHz without slewing distortion |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 16 MHz - allows stable closed-loop gain of 100 at 160 kHz for anti-aliasing filter design |
| Input Voltage Noise | 4.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level microphone preamp and strain-gauge interfaces |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.002% at 3 VRMS, 20 Hz–20 kHz - meets THD requirements for Class A audio line drivers |
| Output Voltage Swing | ±14.1 V to ±14.6 V (RL = 10 kΩ, ±15 V supply) - delivers full dynamic range into high-impedance loads |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.15 mV (typical, 25°C) - reduces DC error in precision instrumentation amplifier configurations |
Pinout & Package
MC33078DRE4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package per JEDEC MS-012, with 1.27 mm pitch, 3.91 mm body width, and 1.75 mm max height. Thermal resistance θJA is 97°C/W under standard JEDEC 2S2P board conditions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Amplifier 1 output - drives loads ≥2 kΩ directly; requires series resistor for >380 pF capacitive loads |
| 2 | IN1− | Inverting input of Amp1 - high-impedance node (175 kΩ differential Rin) sensitive to PCB leakage |
| 3 | IN1+ | Non-inverting input of Amp1 - accepts common-mode voltages from ±13 V to ±14 V |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply rail - must be decoupled within 1 cm of pin with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - shared by both amplifiers; separate decoupling required per rail |
| 6 | OUT2 | Amplifier 2 output - electrically isolated from OUT1; same drive capability and stability constraints |
| 7 | IN2− | Inverting input of Amp2 - independent bias current path (max 800 nA over temperature) |
| 8 | IN2+ | Non-inverting input of Amp2 - identical CMVR and noise performance as IN1+ |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Large symmetrical output swing | ±14.6 V swing at ±15 V supply eliminates deadband crossover distortion in Class AB output stages |
| Stable with capacitive loads | Operates without oscillation up to 560 pF (RL = 2 kΩ), reducing need for isolation resistors in cable drivers |

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 input bias current (300 nA vs. 750 nA typ), lower GBW (10 MHz), identical 7 V/µs slew rate | Preferred in legacy audio designs where proven reliability outweighs noise advantage | Select when existing layout uses NE5532 footprint and THD <0.005% suffices |
| OPA2134PA | FET-input (50 pA IIB), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but slower slew rate (20 V/µs) and higher cost | Better for ultra-high-Z sources (piezoelectric sensors), less suitable for fast transient audio | Choose for pH probe or photodiode TIA where input current noise dominates |
Compared with NE5532DR and OPA2134PA, MC33078DRE4 offers superior voltage noise (4.5 nV/√Hz) and wider supply range (±18 V), making it optimal for high-dynamic-range audio and industrial ±15 V systems where bipolar speed and noise performance are prioritized over ultra-low input current.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the MC33078DRE4 can drive without oscillation?
The MC33078DRE4 remains stable with up to 560 pF capacitive load when driving a 2 kΩ resistive load, as verified in TI's Application Information section. Oscillation onset varies by lot, so designs approaching this limit should include a 10–47 Ω series resistor between the output and load. The MC33078DRE4 datasheet specifies this behavior under "Output Characteristics" with pulse-response waveforms confirming stability margins.
Does the MC33078DRE4 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the MC33078DRE4 supports single-supply operation with VCC+ = 10 V and VCC− = 0 V, though its input common-mode range extends only to within ~1.5 V of each rail. For true rail-to-rail input performance, a dual-supply configuration (e.g., ±12 V) is recommended. The MC33078DRE4 electrical characteristics table confirms operation down to VCC− = –5 V and up to VCC+ = 18 V, enabling flexible supply topologies.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MC33078DRE4 in SOIC-8 package?
The MC33078DRE4 in SOIC-8 (D) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 97°C/W under JEDEC-standard 2-layer board conditions. This value assumes 1 in² copper area per power plane and is critical for calculating maximum allowable power dissipation: PD(max) = (TJ(max) – TA) / θJA. The MC33078DRE4 absolute maximum ratings specify TJ ≤ 150°C, limiting continuous dissipation to ~360 mW at 85°C ambient.
How does the MC33078DRE4 compare to the NE5532 in terms of noise performance?
The MC33078DRE4 achieves 4.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - 0.5 nV/√Hz lower than the NE5532's typical 5.0 nV/√Hz. Both share identical 7 V/µs slew rate and similar THD (0.002% vs. 0.003%), but the MC33078DRE4 offers wider supply range (±18 V vs. ±15 V) and higher open-loop gain (800 dB @ 20 kHz). These differences make the MC33078DRE4 preferable in high-headroom audio and precision industrial amplification where noise floor is critical.
Is the MC33078DRE4 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the MC33078DRE4 is RoHS compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, as confirmed in TI's Packaging Information addendum. Its MSL rating is Level-1-260°C-UNLIM, indicating unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH. The MC33078DRE4 part marking "M33078" and reel packaging (2500 units per large tape-and-reel) align with TI's standard RoHS-compliant production release for SOIC-8 devices.
