Product details
Overview
MC3403DBR from Texas Instruments is a quadruple low-power operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 3 V to 36 V or dual supplies up to ±15 V, featuring true differential inputs, Class AB output stage, internal frequency compensation, and input offset voltage ≤10 mV at 25°C. It delivers rail-to-rail input common-mode range (down to VCC–) and output swing to VCC–1.5 V, supporting precision signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces and analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MC3403DBR datasheet, MC3403DBR pinout, MC3403DBR application, or MC3403DBR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, thermal performance data (θJA = 96°C/W), operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and validated alternative options for legacy design continuity and supply chain resilience.
Technical Context
The MC3403DBR implements four independent op-amps with matched large-signal differential voltage amplification (AVD ≥20 V/mV), unity-gain bandwidth of 1 MHz, and slew rate of 0.6 V/µs under ±15 V supply. Its Class AB output stage enables stable drive into 2 kΩ loads while maintaining <1% crossover distortion at 10 kHz.
Designed for single-supply systems, it supports common-mode input down to the negative rail and delivers peak output swing of ±10 V (RL = 2 kΩ) or 3.3 V (VCC+ = 5 V). Input bias current is –0.2 µA typical at 25°C, and short-circuit output current reaches ±45 mA - enabling robust interfacing with transducers and actuator drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | Single: 3 V to 36 V; Dual: ±2.5 V to ±15 V - supports wide-input industrial power rails and battery-powered systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤10 mV at 25°C - ensures minimal DC error in precision gain stages and sensor amplifiers. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1 MHz - sufficient for audio preamplification, active filters, and medium-speed control loops. |
| Slew Rate | 0.6 V/µs - limits high-frequency distortion in pulse amplification and waveform shaping circuits. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | VCC– to (VCC+ − 2 V) - enables direct sensing of signals referenced to ground in single-supply configurations. |
| Output Voltage Swing | ≥±10 V (RL = 2 kΩ, ±15 V supply); VCC– to (VCC+ − 1.5 V) - provides usable dynamic range without rail-to-rail output circuitry. |
| Quiescent Supply Current | 2.8 mA typical per package - reduces power consumption in multi-channel portable instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
MC3403DBR is housed in a 14-pin plastic shrink small-outline (SOIC) package (DB), measuring 8.65 mm × 3.91 mm × 1.75 mm, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish. Thermal resistance θJA is 96°C/W, suitable for moderate-power analog applications without forced airflow.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quadruple low-power op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC3403DR | Same silicon die, SOIC-14 (D) package with θJA = 86°C/W - 10°C/W lower thermal resistance than DB variant. | Preferred where board space allows standard SOIC footprint and higher power dissipation margin is required. | Select MC3403DR when thermal headroom exceeds 10°C/W and tape-and-reel volume (2500 pcs) aligns with production needs. |
| LM324N | Higher input offset voltage (±7 mV typ), lower CMRR (65 dB), no guaranteed 0°C to 70°C operation - broader parametric spread. | Used in cost-sensitive consumer electronics where precision is secondary to unit cost and availability. | Choose LM324N only if design tolerates wider offset drift and reduced common-mode immunity; not recommended for calibrated instrumentation. |
Compared with MC3403DBR, MC3403DR offers better thermal performance in the same functional family, while LM324N trades specification tightness for broader market availability and lower procurement risk - making MC3403DBR optimal for legacy industrial upgrades requiring documented parameter continuity.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for MC3403DBR?
The MC3403DBR has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±18 V (VCC+ ≤ +18 V, VCC– ≥ –18 V), with a maximum differential supply voltage of 36 V. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage. Recommended operating range is 5 V to 30 V single supply or ±2.5 V to ±15 V dual supply - ensuring reliable function within datasheet-specified parameters for MC3403DBR.
Does MC3403DBR support rail-to-rail input or output operation?
The MC3403DBR supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range (down to VCC–), but its output swing is limited to VCC– to (VCC+ − 1.5 V) under load. It does not provide true rail-to-rail output. This behavior is confirmed in the "Peak output voltage swing" specification: ±10 V with ±15 V supplies and 2 kΩ load. Therefore, MC3403DBR is not a rail-to-rail output device, though its input stage accommodates signals at the negative rail - a key advantage over older µA741 derivatives.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the MC3403DBR package?
The MC3403DBR uses a plastic shrink small-outline (DB) package with a measured junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 96°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions (JESD 51-7) and is critical for calculating junction temperature rise under load. For example, at 7 mA total supply current and 15 V supply, power dissipation is ~105 mW, resulting in ~10°C junction-to-ambient rise - well within safe operating limits for MC3403DBR.
Is MC3403DBR interchangeable with MC3303 series devices?
The MC3403DBR is explicitly designed to be interchangeable with the MC3303 series in pinout and basic functionality, but differs in temperature grade: MC3403DBR is rated for 0°C to 70°C, whereas MC3303 variants operate from –40°C to 85°C. Electrical parameters such as input offset voltage (10 mV max vs. 8 mV max) and input bias current drift also differ slightly. Thus, MC3403DBR can replace MC3303 in commercial-temperature applications, but not in extended-temperature industrial or automotive under-hood use cases - confirming its role as a temperature-binned variant within the same functional family.
What packaging and reel options are available for MC3403DBR?
The MC3403DBR is supplied exclusively in tape-and-reel format per TI's packaging documentation: 2000 units per reel, with reel diameter 330.0 mm, width 16.4 mm, and pin one quadrant Q1. The DB package is not offered in tube or tray formats. This configuration supports automated SMT placement and aligns with industry-standard feeder compatibility - essential for high-volume manufacturing of MC3403DBR-based designs.
