Product details
Overview
MC33078DR-NG 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 studio-grade audio preamps and sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MC33078DR-NG datasheet, MC33078DR-NG pinout, MC33078DR-NG application, or MC33078DR-NG equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide supply range (±5 V to ±18 V), rail-to-rail output swing capability (±14.6 V at 10 kΩ), low offset voltage (0.15 mV typ), symmetrical sink/source current (±29 mA), and thermal stability across –40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The MC33078DR-NG integrates two matched, internally compensated op-amp channels using bipolar junction transistor (BJT) input stages optimized for low-noise and high-speed performance. Its architecture supports unity-gain stable operation with 100 pF load capacitance and provides >40° phase margin under typical conditions.
It features symmetrical output drive (±29 mA short-circuit current), wide common-mode input range (±14 V), and robust open-loop AC gain (800 at 20 kHz). The device maintains low distortion (<0.002% THD) and high CMRR (100 dB typ) across its full operating temperature range.

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 max), identical 7 V/µs slew rate and 10 MHz GBW | Optimized for lower-cost audio applications; less suitable for high-impedance sensor interfaces | Select NE5532DR where cost sensitivity outweighs ultra-low input bias requirements |
| OPA2134PA | FET-input architecture (2 pA IB), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but slower slew rate (20 V/µs) and higher cost | Better for ultra-high-impedance sources (e.g., piezoelectric sensors); not drop-in due to different biasing | Choose OPA2134PA when input impedance >1 GΩ is mandatory and speed <10 MHz suffices |
Compared with NE5532DR and OPA2134PA, MC33078DR-NG offers superior noise performance (4.5 nV/√Hz) and wider supply range (±18 V) while maintaining robust industrial temperature rating - making it optimal for high-fidelity, wide-dynamic-range analog signal chains where bipolar precision and thermal reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for MC33078DR-NG?
The MC33078DR-NG is rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C, verified per TI's production data and packaging specifications. This extended temperature range makes MC33078DR-NG suitable for under-hood automotive subsystems and industrial control cabinets where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. Thermal derating guidelines apply above 100°C ambient.
Does MC33078DR-NG support single-supply operation?
Yes, MC33078DR-NG supports single-supply operation within its specified common-mode input voltage range (±14 V relative to midpoint), provided the input signal remains within VICR limits and output swing accommodates the chosen rail configuration. For true single-supply use, level-shifting or biasing networks are required - unlike rail-to-rail input/output op-amps, MC33078DR-NG does not operate down to VCC− or up to VCC+.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for MC33078DR-NG to minimize noise coupling?
TI recommends placing 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitors directly between VCC+ and VCC− pins (Pins 5 and 4), using short traces and ground-plane vias. Separate analog and digital ground planes should be joined at a single point near the IC. Input traces must be shielded from output and power lines, and the MC33078DR-NG's exposed pad (if present in variant) must be grounded - though the SOIC D package used by MC33078DR-NG has no exposed thermal pad.
Can MC33078DR-NG drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
MC33078DR-NG can drive up to 380 pF (RL = 600 Ω), 560 pF (RL = 2 kΩ), or 590 pF (RL = 10 kΩ) before instability occurs, per TI's pulse response characterization. For larger loads, add a small series resistor (e.g., 10–50 Ω) between the output and capacitive load to isolate the pole and restore phase margin - this technique is validated in TI's Application Information section for MC33078DR-NG.
Is MC33078DR-NG RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, MC33078DR-NG is RoHS compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, as confirmed in TI's Package Option Addendum. It meets JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity rating with unlimited peak reflow tolerance at 260°C, supporting standard lead-free SMT assembly processes without special handling requirements.
