Product details
Overview
NE5532DRE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual low-noise operational amplifier designed for high-fidelity audio and precision analog signal conditioning. It delivers 5 nV/√Hz input noise voltage at 1 kHz, 12 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 100 dB common-mode rejection ratio, 5 V/μs slew rate, and operates from ±5 V to ±15 V supplies in 0°C to 70°C industrial temperature range - deployed in pro audio mixers and AV receivers.
For engineers reviewing the NE5532DRE4 datasheet, NE5532DRE4 pinout, NE5532DRE4 application, or NE5532DRE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include input noise floor, DC accuracy (input offset voltage ≤ 4 mV), output drive capability into 600 Ω, thermal stability across operating temperature, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The NE5532DRE4 integrates two internally compensated op-amps optimized for unity-gain stability, featuring input protection diodes and short-circuit protected outputs. Its bipolar input stage enables high DC gain (≥100 V/mV) and low input bias current (≤800 nA at 25°C), while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing capability under load.
It supports dual-supply operation only (no single-supply biasing), with specified common-mode input range of ±12 V and supply voltage limits of ±15 V absolute maximum. The device exhibits low distortion and stable phase margin across frequencies up to 12 MHz, making it suitable for wideband audio amplification and active filter stages.
Key Specifications

| 2 (1IN–) | Input | Inverting input of first amplifier - accepts feedback networks for precise gain control |
| 3 (1IN+) | Input | Noninverting input of first amplifier - high-impedance node for sensor or line-level signal routing |
| 4 (VCC–) | Power | Negative supply rail - must be decoupled with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 (2IN+) | Input | Noninverting input of second amplifier - independent channel for stereo or dual-path processing |
| 6 (2IN–) | Input | Inverting input of second amplifier - supports summing, difference, or instrumentation topologies |
| 7 (OUT2) | Output | Second amplifier output - electrically isolated from OUT1; shares same supply pins |
| 8 (VCC+) | Power | Positive supply rail - requires local 0.1 μF bypass to ground for PSRR optimization |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-noise op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for NE5532DRE4?
The NE5532DRE4 has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±18 V, but its recommended operating range is ±5 V to ±15 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading long-term reliability. The NE5532DRE4 must be powered with symmetrical dual supplies - it is not designed for single-supply operation.
Does NE5532DRE4 support rail-to-rail input or output?
No, the NE5532DRE4 does not feature rail-to-rail input or output. Its common-mode input voltage range is specified as ±12 V with ±15 V supplies, and output swing is typically ±13 V under 600 Ω load. For rail-to-rail performance, designers should consider newer alternatives like OPA1678 or TLV2772 - the NE5532DRE4 prioritizes low noise and high slew rate over output voltage headroom.
What is the input offset voltage specification for NE5532DRE4?
The NE5532DRE4 has a typical input offset voltage of 4 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of 5 mV across the full 0°C to +70°C operating temperature range. This parameter is critical for DC-coupled applications such as active filters or precision instrumentation - where offset contributes directly to output error. The NE5532DRE4's offset is untrimmed and not laser-calibrated.
Can NE5532DRE4 be used in single-supply configurations?
No, the NE5532DRE4 is not characterized or guaranteed for single-supply operation. Its internal architecture and input/output stage design require dual symmetric supplies (e.g., ±12 V or ±15 V). Attempting single-supply use results in undefined behavior, reduced common-mode range, and potential output saturation. For single-supply designs, consider purpose-built variants like LM833N or newer rail-to-rail op-amps - the NE5532DRE4 remains strictly dual-supply.
Is NE5532DRE4 pin-compatible with other 5532 family members?
Yes, the NE5532DRE4 is fully pin-compatible with all 8-pin SOIC-packaged 5532 variants including NE5532DR, NE5532ADR, SA5532DR, and SA5532ADR. All share identical pinout, electrical interface, and thermal pad configuration. Differences lie solely in temperature grade (NE = 0°C to +70°C, SA = –40°C to +85°C), minor parametric tolerances, and packaging markings - the NE5532DRE4 functions identically in any socket designed for SOIC-8 dual op-amps.
