Product details
Overview
MC3403DT from STMicroelectronics is a quad bipolar operational amplifier with true differential inputs, Class AB output stage, short-circuit protected outputs, and operation from +3V to +36V single supply or ±15V to ±18V dual supplies. It delivers 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 0.35 V/µs slew rate, and input bias current ≤500 nA, enabling precision signal conditioning in industrial sensor interfaces and analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the MC3403DT datasheet, MC3403DT pinout, MC3403DT application, or MC3403DT equivalent, key selection criteria include input common-mode range extending to negative rail, low quiescent current (≈1.75 mA per amplifier), rail-to-rail output swing capability in single-supply mode, and internal compensation for stable unity-gain operation.
Technical Context
The MC3403DT integrates four independent, internally compensated two-stage op-amps using bipolar junction transistor (BJT) technology. Each amplifier features a differential input stage with transconductance reduction enabling use of only an 8 pF compensation capacitor, and a Class AB output stage that eliminates crossover distortion while supporting ground-swing output in single-supply configurations.
Its input common-mode voltage range includes the negative supply rail (down to VCC−), eliminating external biasing in many single-supply applications. The device uses an internal voltage-regulated bias network to ensure stable temperature performance and high PSRR (77 dB typical).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | +3V to +36V single supply or ±15V to ±18V dual supply - supports wide-input industrial power rails without external regulators. |
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 1 MHz - enables stable amplification of audio and control-loop signals up to ~100 kHz with minimal phase shift. |
| Slew Rate | 0.35 V/µs - sufficient for <10 Vpp signals at ≤35 kHz without distortion in closed-loop configurations. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤500 nA max - minimizes DC error in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., thermistor, photodiode networks). |
| Input Offset Voltage | ≤6 mV max - ensures ≤60 mV output error at gain = 10, suitable for medium-precision instrumentation. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | ≥70 dB - rejects noise coupled equally to both inputs, critical in noisy industrial environments. |
| Output Short-Circuit Duration | Infinite - allows continuous fault protection without thermal shutdown, simplifying system-level safety design. |
Pinout & Package
MC3403DT is supplied in a 14-pin Small Outline (SO-14) plastic micropackage, RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel format optimized for automated SMT assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5, 9, 12 | Inverting Input (−) | Differential input node for each of four amplifiers; accepts signals referenced to ground or negative rail. |
| 2, 6, 10, 13 | Non-inverting Input (+) | Differential input node; common-mode range extends to VCC−, enabling direct connection to grounded sensors. |
| 3, 7, 11, 14 | Output | Class AB buffered output capable of swinging within ~1.7 V of VCC+ and to VCC− (ground) in single supply. |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply or ground reference; all four amplifiers share this terminal. |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; powers all four amplifiers simultaneously. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Short-circuit protected outputs | Each output can be continuously shorted to ground without damage or latch-up, reducing need for external current-limiting circuitry. |
| Class AB output stage | Eliminates crossover distortion across full output swing, ensuring clean waveform fidelity in audio and active filter applications. |
| Single-supply operation down to +3V | Enables direct interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers and low-voltage sensors without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Internally compensated | Stable unity-gain operation without external compensation components, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| Low input bias current (≤500 nA) | Preserves signal integrity in high-impedance transducer circuits (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoelectric sensors). |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | Wien Bridge Oscillator |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-level outputs from RTDs, strain gauges, or thermocouples in PLC analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad op-amp configured as instrumentation amplifier front-end and buffer stages. Use Value: Input common-mode range to ground eliminates external bias resistors; low Iib prevents loading of high-Z sensor elements. |
Use Scenario: Generating stable 1 kHz sine wave reference for calibration equipment using feedback-controlled RC network. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: One amplifier as gain-stabilized Wien bridge amplifier; others as buffers and comparators. Use Value: Internal compensation ensures oscillation stability; rail-to-ground output enables direct interface with ADC reference inputs. |
| Comparator with Hysteresis | Bi-Quad Active Filter |
|
Use Scenario: Converting slow-moving analog process signals (e.g., pressure, flow) into clean digital logic levels for microcontroller input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single amplifier used as comparator with positive feedback resistor network for hysteresis. Use Value: Low input offset voltage (<6 mV) ensures precise threshold setting; short-circuit protection prevents latch-up during transient overdrive. |
Use Scenario: Implementing bandpass/notch filtering in audio test equipment or vibration analysis systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: All four amplifiers used in standard bi-quad topology for simultaneous passband and notch response. Use Value: Channel separation >120 dB prevents crosstalk between filter sections; 1 MHz GBW supports center frequencies up to ~100 kHz. |
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 input offset voltage (7 mV max), lower PSRR (65 dB), no short-circuit protection on all outputs. | Less suitable for precision single-supply sensor buffering where rail-to-rail input and fault tolerance are required. | Preferred where cost is primary constraint and moderate accuracy suffices; not recommended for safety-critical fault-tolerant designs. |
| TL084CDT | JFET input (50 pA Iib), higher slew rate (13 V/µs), but requires ≥±5V dual supply and lacks ground-swing output. | Better for high-speed, high-Z source amplification (e.g., photodiode transimpedance), unsuitable for 3.3V single-supply systems. | Select when ultra-low input bias and speed outweigh single-supply compatibility; avoid if VCC+ < ±5V or ground-referenced output needed. |
Compared with LM324DT and TL084CDT, the MC3403DT uniquely combines single-supply operation down to +3V, short-circuit protected outputs, and rail-to-ground output swing - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, robust industrial analog signal chains where reliability and supply flexibility are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for MC3403DT?
The MC3403DT is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade temperature range aligns with its intended use in non-automotive industrial control and instrumentation applications. Junction temperature must remain below 150°C under normal load conditions, and thermal derating is required above 70°C ambient.
Can MC3403DT drive a 2 kΩ load at ±10 V output swing?
No - the MC3403DT's specified ±Vopp is ±10 V only with RL ≥ 2 kΩ under ±15 V supplies. At ±10 V output, the device delivers ≤30 mA per output (Ios = 10–45 mA), so a 2 kΩ load draws 5 mA, well within safe limits. However, output voltage swing degrades to ±10 V only under those exact conditions; actual swing may reduce under heavier loads or lower supply voltages.
Is MC3403DT pin-compatible with LM324?
Yes - MC3403DT uses the same SO-14 pinout as LM324, including identical assignment of VCC+ (pin 4), VCC− (pin 11), and amplifier input/output terminals. This allows drop-in replacement in most LM324-based layouts, though designers must verify that the MC3403DT's higher PSRR, lower Iib, and short-circuit protection meet system requirements.
Does MC3403DT require external compensation capacitors?
No - the MC3403DT is internally compensated for stable unity-gain operation. Its 8 pF on-chip compensation capacitor eliminates the need for external frequency compensation components, simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost. External compensation is neither required nor recommended unless specific high-frequency stability analysis dictates otherwise.
