Product details
Overview
NE5532P from Texas Instruments is a dual low-noise operational amplifier in an 8-pin PDIP package, delivering 5 V/μs slew rate, 12 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, and 5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - optimized for high-fidelity audio signal conditioning in pro-audio mixers and AV receivers.
For engineers reviewing the NE5532P datasheet, NE5532P pinout, NE5532P application, or NE5532P equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world operating specifications (±5 V to ±15 V supply, 0°C to 70°C range), thermal resistance (85°C/W), and validated alternative options for audio-grade op-amp selection.
Technical Context
The NE5532P integrates two internally compensated, unity-gain-stable op-amps with bipolar input stages, enabling high DC voltage gain (100 V/mV typ) and robust common-mode rejection (100 dB typ) across its full operating temperature range. Its input-protection diodes and output short-circuit protection support reliable operation in demanding analog front-ends.
Designed for dual-supply operation, the NE5532P accepts ±5 V to ±15 V supplies and delivers rail-to-rail compatible output swing (±13 V typical into 600 Ω) while maintaining low distortion and stable phase margin - critical for active filters, line drivers, and differential receiver stages in professional audio infrastructure.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 12 MHz typical - supports stable closed-loop operation up to audio frequencies without external compensation. |
| Slew Rate | 5 V/μs typical - enables faithful reproduction of fast transients in wideband audio signals (e.g., drum hits, cymbal decay). |
| Input Voltage Noise | 5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - ensures minimal audible hiss in microphone preamp and line-level gain stages. |
| Common-Mode Rejection Ratio | 100 dB typical - rejects power supply ripple and EMI coupling in unbalanced interconnects. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±15 V - accommodates standard ±12 V and ±15 V analog rails in studio equipment. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded audio systems and consumer AV gear. |
| Total Supply Current | 6–16 mA - balances performance and power efficiency in multi-channel mixer designs. |
Pinout & Package
NE5532P uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 9.81 mm × 6.35 mm nominal footprint, through-hole mountable with industry-standard lead spacing (0.300″ row-to-row). Designed for manual assembly and legacy PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Output of first amplifier - drives load directly; requires local bypass capacitor for stability. |
| 2 | 1IN– | Inverting input of first amplifier - connects to feedback network (e.g., resistor divider for gain setting). |
| 3 | 1IN+ | Noninverting input of first amplifier - high-impedance node; sensitive to layout-induced noise. |
| 4 | VCC– | Negative supply rail - must be decoupled with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | 2IN+ | Noninverting input of second amplifier - electrically isolated from first channel for dual-path processing. |
| 6 | 2IN– | Inverting input of second amplifier - used for inverting configurations or summing junctions. |
| 7 | 2OUT | Output of second amplifier - independent channel output; shares same thermal and supply constraints as OUT1. |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - requires dedicated 0.1 μF ceramic bypass to ground, placed adjacent to pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low input voltage noise | 5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves dynamic range in low-level signal amplification (e.g., phono preamps). |
| High DC open-loop gain | 100 V/mV typical - ensures <0.01% gain error in precision instrumentation and active filter applications. |
| Internal unity-gain compensation | No external compensation required - simplifies design of stable gain-of-1 buffers and integrators. |
| Output short-circuit protection | Withstands indefinite short to either rail - prevents latch-up or thermal runaway during fault conditions. |
| Input protection diodes | Clamp inputs to rails - protects against overvoltage transients (e.g., ESD events on audio I/O lines). |
Applications
| Pro Audio Mixer Channel Strip | AV Receiver Preamp Stage |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE5532DR | SOIC-8 surface-mount package; identical electrical specs and 0°C to 70°C rating. | Requires reflow assembly; better high-frequency layout control but no through-hole serviceability. | Select NE5532DR for automated SMT production; NE5532P remains optimal for prototyping, repair, or legacy through-hole designs. |
| SA5532P | Same PDIP-8 package but rated for –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range; otherwise identical noise, bandwidth, and slew rate. | Suitable for automotive infotainment head units or outdoor AV equipment where extended ambient operation is required. | Choose SA5532P when operating outside 0°C–70°C; NE5532P is cost-optimized for commercial indoor audio systems. |
Compared with NE5532DR and SA5532P, the NE5532P offers the lowest-cost, through-hole-compatible path to proven NE5532 performance - retaining full electrical equivalence while enabling manual assembly, field replacement, and compatibility with decades of existing audio PCB footprints.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for NE5532P?
The NE5532P supports a maximum supply voltage of ±15 V per rail, with absolute maximum ratings limiting VCC+ to +18 V and VCC– to –18 V. Operation beyond ±15 V risks exceeding thermal limits and degrading long-term reliability; TI specifies recommended operation between ±5 V and ±15 V for optimal noise and distortion performance in the NE5532P.
Does NE5532P require external compensation capacitors?
No, the NE5532P is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and operates reliably without external compensation components. This allows direct use in gain-of-1 buffers, active filters, and instrumentation amplifiers without risk of oscillation - a key design advantage confirmed in TI's SLOS075K datasheet Section 6.1 and 6.3.1.
What is the input offset voltage specification for NE5532P?
The NE5532P has a typical input offset voltage of 4 mV at 25°C, with a maximum of 5 mV across its full 0°C to 70°C operating range. This value is measured under open-loop conditions with zero common-mode input voltage and is documented in Section 5.5 of the official TI datasheet (SLOS075K Rev K).
Can NE5532P operate from a single supply?
Yes, the NE5532P can operate from a single supply by biasing both inputs and outputs around a mid-rail reference voltage (e.g., VCC/2), though its specified performance - including input common-mode range (±12 V) and output swing (±13 V) - is optimized for dual-supply configurations. Single-supply use requires careful level-shifting and may reduce dynamic range.
Is NE5532P RoHS compliant?
Yes, the NE5532P is RoHS compliant, as confirmed in TI's PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM (18-Jun-2026), which lists "Yes" under the RoHS column for all active NE5532P variants, including NE5532P.A and NE5532PE4. Lead finish is NIPDAU, and the device meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
