Product details
Overview
MC33174DT from STMicroelectronics is a quad bipolar operational amplifier optimized for low-power, rail-to-rail input (down to VCC–) operation across wide supply ranges (+4V to +44V single or ±2V to ±22V dual), delivering 2.1 MHz gain-bandwidth, 2 V/µs slew rate, and only 200 µA quiescent current per amplifier-enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered industrial sensors and 24V PLC analog I/O modules.
For engineers reviewing the MC33174DT datasheet, MC33174DT pinout, MC33174DT application, or MC33174DT equivalent, key selection criteria include input common-mode range extending to VCC–, 100 mV typical low-level output voltage swing, 120 dB channel separation, and SO-14 package compatibility with legacy quad op-amp footprints.
Technical Context
The MC33174DT integrates four independent bipolar-input op-amps sharing a common die, each featuring Class AB output stage with rail-swing capability down to 100 mV above VCC–. Its input stage operates with common-mode voltage down to VCC–, enabling true single-supply use without level-shifting circuitry.
Designed for stability with 100 pF capacitive loads, it achieves 45° phase margin and 2.1 MHz GBP at unity-gain configuration. Input bias current remains below 200 nA over –40°C to +105°C, supporting high-impedance sensor interfaces without significant DC error drift.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage Range | +4V to +44V single supply or ±2V to ±22V dual supply - supports direct interfacing with 24V industrial buses and 5V microcontrollers |
| Quiescent Current | 200 µA per amplifier - enables four-channel analog front-end operation within 1 mA total budget for portable instrumentation |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 2.1 MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters up to ~200 kHz and closed-loop gain of 10 at 200 kHz |
| Slew Rate | 2 V/µs - ensures <1% distortion on 10 kHz sine waves at 10 VPP output swing |
| Input Common-Mode Range | VCC– to (VCC+ − 1.8 V) - allows direct sensing of ground-referenced signals in single-supply systems |
| Channel Separation | 120 dB - prevents crosstalk between adjacent channels in multi-sensor data acquisition |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 100 mV of VCC– and 400 mV of VCC+ - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage single-supply configurations |

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 quiescent current (1.2 mA per amp), lower GBP (1.2 MHz), no guaranteed operation below +3V supply | Less suitable for battery-powered designs requiring sub-1 mA total analog front-end current | Select LM324DT only if cost is primary constraint and supply voltage exceeds +5V with relaxed speed requirements |
| TLV2464IDR | Rail-to-rail input/output, lower noise (22 nV/√Hz), but higher supply current (600 µA/amp) and narrower supply range (2.7–6 V) | Not viable for 24V industrial or automotive 12V systems due to 6V max supply rating | Choose TLV2464IDR only for low-voltage, low-noise portable applications where 24V compatibility is unnecessary |
Compared with LM324DT and TLV2464IDR, MC33174DT uniquely balances ultra-low power (200 µA), wide supply range (+4V to +44V), and rail-to-rail input capability-making it the only option among the three qualified for both 24V PLC I/O and long-life battery sensors.

FAQ
Is MC33174DT pin-compatible with standard quad op-amps in SO-14 packages?
Yes, MC33174DT uses the industry-standard SO-14 footprint (1.27 mm pitch) and matches the pinout of LM324, TL074, and NE5534 in SO-14 variants. Pin 1 is Inverting Input of Amp A, Pin 14 is Output of Amp D, and VCC+/VCC– align with conventional quad op-amp assignments-enabling direct PCB replacement without layout changes.
What is the minimum recommended supply voltage for reliable operation?
The absolute minimum supply voltage is +4V for single-supply operation or ±2V for dual-supply use, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Below +4V, input common-mode range and output swing degrade, and guaranteed performance (e.g., GBP, SR) is not maintained per datasheet electrical characteristics.
Does MC33174DT require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, MC33174DT is internally compensated and stable at unity gain with capacitive loads up to 100 pF. The datasheet confirms 45° phase margin under standard test conditions (RL = 10 kΩ, CL = 100 pF), eliminating need for external compensation networks in typical sensor amplifier or buffer configurations.
How does input offset voltage drift behave over temperature?
MC33174DT exhibits a typical input offset voltage drift of 10 µV/°C, measured across the full operating range (–40°C to +105°C). This drift value is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and remains consistent regardless of supply voltage or common-mode input level, supporting precision DC-coupled applications like bridge amplifier zeroing.
