Product details
Overview
MC33174D from STMicroelectronics is a quad bipolar operational amplifier optimized for low-power, rail-to-rail input (down to VCC–) and single-supply operation from +4V to +44V (±2V to ±22V), delivering 2.1 MHz gain-bandwidth, 2 V/µs slew rate, and only 200 µA supply current per amplifier-enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered industrial sensors and 24V PLC analog I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC33174D datasheet, MC33174D pinout, MC33174D application, or MC33174D equivalent, key selection criteria include input common-mode range extending to VCC–, 100 mV typical low-level output voltage, ±22 V maximum supply, 80 dB CMRR, and SO-14 package compatibility with legacy DIP-14 footprints.
Technical Context
The MC33174D integrates four independent bipolar op-amps with matched internal transistor pairs enabling stable DC-coupled amplification across wide temperature ranges (–40°C to +105°C). Its input stage supports common-mode voltages down to the negative rail, eliminating level-shifting needs in single-supply configurations.
Each amplifier features internally compensated unity-gain stability, 120 dB channel separation, and robust short-circuit protection with indefinite output short duration. The design avoids JFET or CMOS inputs, relying instead on bipolar NPN/PNP differential pairs for predictable bias current behavior and low distortion (0.05% THD).
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +4 V to +44 V single supply or ±2 V to ±22 V dual supply - enables direct interfacing with 24 V industrial buses and 5 V microcontrollers |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VCC– to (VCC+ – 1.8 V) - allows ground-referenced sensor inputs without external biasing |
| Output Low Voltage (VOL) | 0.1 V typical at VCC+ = 5 V, RL = 10 kΩ - ensures reliable logic-level detection when driving ADC reference points |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2.1 MHz - supports closed-loop gains up to ~21 at 100 kHz for anti-aliasing filter stages |
| Slew Rate | 2 V/µs - limits full-scale step response time to ≤10 µs for 20 Vpp signals, suitable for slow-control loops |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1 mV typical at ±15 V supply - yields ≤10 mV error over 10× gain, acceptable for 12-bit system accuracy |
| Supply Current per Amp | 200 µA at VCC+ = 5 V - enables four-channel amplification in sub-1 mA total system standby power |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM324DT | Higher supply current (1.2 mA per amp), lower GBP (1.2 MHz), no guaranteed operation above +70°C | Not rated for extended industrial temperature range; unsuitable for uncooled DIN-rail enclosures | Select LM324DT only for cost-sensitive commercial-grade designs with < +70°C ambient and relaxed bandwidth needs |
| TLV2464CDR | Rail-to-rail output (not input), CMOS input (pA bias), higher cost, 6.4 V max supply | Cannot operate from 24 V industrial rails; requires level-shifting for ground-referenced sensors | Choose TLV2464CDR only when ultra-low input bias (<1 pA) and rail-to-rail output are mandatory |
Compared with LM324DT and TLV2464CDR, MC33174D uniquely balances industrial temperature rating, 24 V single-supply capability, rail-to-rail input, and sub-250 µA quiescent current-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery- or bus-powered industrial analog signal chains where reliability and supply flexibility are critical.

FAQ
Is MC33174D pin-compatible with standard quad op-amps like LM324?
Yes, MC33174D uses the industry-standard SO-14 pinout matching LM324, TL074, and MC34074. Pin functions-including VCC+ (pin 8), VCC– (pin 4), and identical amplifier input/output assignments-are electrically and physically identical, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts without redesign.
What is the minimum recommended supply voltage for stable operation?
The MC33174D is specified for stable operation down to +4 V single supply (or ±2 V dual supply). Below this, input common-mode range and output swing degrade; at +3.3 V, VOL increases beyond 0.2 V and GBP drops below 1.4 MHz-verified per Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the April 2002 datasheet.
Does MC33174D support rail-to-rail output swing?
No, MC33174D does not provide rail-to-rail output. Its output swings to within 100 mV of VCC– (typical) and to within 1.4 V of VCC+ (at ±15 V supply). This asymmetry is inherent to its bipolar output stage and is documented in the VOL/VOLH specifications on page 3 of the datasheet.
Can MC33174D drive capacitive loads directly?
MC33174D is internally compensated for unity-gain stability with purely resistive loads up to 10 kΩ. Driving >100 pF capacitive loads may cause peaking or oscillation; STMicroelectronics recommends adding a 10–100 Ω series resistor between output and capacitive load to maintain phase margin ≥45°, as confirmed in the "Stability Considerations" section of AN1175.
