Product details
Overview
NE5532PE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual low-noise operational amplifier in 8-pin PDIP package, designed for high-fidelity 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 across 0°C to 70°C - widely deployed in pro audio mixers and AV receivers.
For engineers reviewing the NE5532PE4 datasheet, NE5532PE4 pinout, NE5532PE4 application, or NE5532PE4 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-channel low-noise performance, ±5 V to ±15 V dual-supply operation, internal unity-gain compensation, and compatibility with legacy through-hole audio signal chains requiring stable DC offset and wide dynamic range.
Technical Context
The NE5532PE4 integrates two internally compensated op-amps optimized for unity-gain stability, featuring bipolar input stages with input protection diodes and output short-circuit protection. Its architecture supports rail-to-rail output swing within supply limits and maintains low distortion (<0.002% THD+N) at 1 kHz with 600 Ω load.
It operates over ±5 V to ±15 V dual supplies with specified common-mode input range of ±12 V, input bias current ≤800 nA (typ), and input offset voltage ≤4 mV (typ). Thermal resistance is 85 °C/W (PDIP package), enabling reliable operation up to 70°C ambient without forced cooling.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
NE5532PE4 uses an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 9.81 mm × 6.35 mm nominal footprint, with through-hole mounting and industry-standard lead spacing (0.3 inch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Output of first amplifier - drives external load or next stage with ±13 V swing capability |
| 2 | 1IN– | Inverting input of first amplifier - accepts feedback network for precise gain control |
| 3 | 1IN+ | Noninverting input of first amplifier - high-impedance node for sensor or reference signal injection |
| 4 | VCC– | Negative supply rail - must be decoupled with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 | 2IN+ | Noninverting input of second amplifier - isolated from first channel for dual-path signal processing |
| 6 | 2IN– | Inverting input of second amplifier - enables independent feedback configuration per channel |
| 7 | 2OUT | Output of second amplifier - fully independent output path supporting stereo or differential topologies |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail - requires local 0.1 μF bypass to minimize supply-induced crosstalk |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low input noise density | 5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - critical for microphone preamps and phono stages where signal integrity dominates SNR |
| High DC voltage gain | 100 V/mV typ - ensures accurate closed-loop gain accuracy even with high feedback resistances |
| Internal unity-gain compensation | Stable at G = 1 without external compensation - simplifies design of buffers and active filters |
| Output short-circuit protection | Withstands indefinite short to either rail - enhances reliability in field-deployed audio interfaces |
| Input protection diodes | Clamp ESD transients and overvoltage events - improves robustness in unshielded consumer audio inputs |

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 | Same electrical specs; SOIC-8 package, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, MSL-1 rated | Requires PCB redesign for SMT assembly; better thermal performance (97 °C/W) but no through-hole compatibility | Select NE5532DR for new SMT designs prioritizing board density and reflow compatibility |
| SA5532P | Extended temperature range (–40°C to +85°C); identical noise, bandwidth, and slew rate | Suitable for industrial or automotive audio subsystems requiring wider thermal margin | Select SA5532P when operating environment exceeds 70°C or requires extended qualification |
Compared with NE5532PE4, NE5532DR offers modern packaging and thermal metrics but sacrifices through-hole serviceability, while SA5532P adds industrial temperature resilience without altering core analog performance - both retain pin-for-pin functionality in their respective packages.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for NE5532PE4?
The NE5532PE4 has absolute maximum supply voltage ratings of ±18 V, with recommended operating range of ±5 V to ±15 V. Exceeding ±18 V risks permanent damage per TI's Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation at ±15 V is typical in audio applications to maximize output swing while maintaining linearity and thermal safety.
Does NE5532PE4 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, NE5532PE4 is internally compensated for unity-gain operation. This eliminates the need for external compensation capacitors in buffer, follower, or gain-of-one configurations - a key design simplification confirmed in TI's Functional Description and Electrical Characteristics sections.
What is the input offset voltage specification for NE5532PE4 at room temperature?
The NE5532PE4 exhibits 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 directly impacts DC accuracy in precision gain stages.
Can NE5532PE4 drive 600 Ω loads effectively?
Yes, NE5532PE4 is characterized for RL ≥ 600 Ω loads in its Electrical Characteristics table, delivering >15 V/mV large-signal voltage gain and <0.002% THD+N at 1 kHz. Its high output drive capability supports professional line-level standards without external buffering.
Is NE5532PE4 RoHS compliant?
NE5532PE4 is not marked RoHS-compliant in TI's official Packaging Addendum; its lead finish is unspecified, and RoHS status is listed as "-" (not applicable or not certified). For RoHS-compliant alternatives, consider NE5532P (RoHS Yes) or NE5532DR (RoHS Yes, SOIC-8).
