Product details
Overview
OP470GPZ from Analog Devices is a very low-noise quad operational amplifier optimized for precision instrumentation and audio signal conditioning. It delivers 5 nV/√Hz voltage noise at 1 kHz (max), 0.4 mV input offset voltage (max), 110 dB common-mode rejection, 6 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 2 V/μs slew rate in a 14-lead plastic DIP package. It serves as a drop-in upgrade for LM148/HA4741 in low-noise sensor front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the OP470GPZ datasheet, OP470GPZ pinout, OP470GPZ application, or OP470GPZ equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, military-grade temperature performance (–40°C to +85°C), quad-channel matching data, noise density curves, and real-world design guidance for instrumentation amplifiers, active filters, and panning control circuits.
Technical Context
The OP470GPZ integrates four matched, monolithic op amps on a single die with proprietary low-noise bipolar input stages operating at high collector currents-enabling 3.2 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz while maintaining 1000 V/mV minimum open-loop gain into 10 kΩ. Its input stage omits current-limiting resistors to preserve noise performance, relying instead on back-to-back diode protection with ±1.0 V differential input voltage limit.
It achieves unity-gain stability via internal compensation, delivering 6 MHz GBW and 2 V/μs slew rate without external components. Channel separation exceeds 125 dB at 20 Vp-p, and PSRR remains below 1.8 mV/V across ±4.5 V to ±18 V supply range-critical for mixed-signal systems with noisy power rails.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP470GS | 16-lead SOIC package; identical electrical specs but surface-mount compatible; 88°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs requiring automated reflow assembly; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping | Select OP470GS when board area is limited and thermal dissipation via PCB copper is feasible. |
| LM148CN | Higher 15 nV/√Hz noise; 2 mV max input offset; lower 100 dB CMR; 1.5 V/μs slew rate; legacy bipolar process | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where noise <100 nV/√Hz is tolerable | Choose LM148CN only if budget constraints outweigh precision requirements and existing stock exists. |
Compared with OP470GPZ, OP470GS offers identical performance in a smaller footprint but requires reflow-compatible layout, while LM148CN trades 3× higher noise and reduced DC accuracy for lower unit cost in non-critical signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for OP470GPZ?
The OP470GPZ has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±18 V. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage to the internal bipolar transistors. For reliable long-term use, Analog Devices recommends staying within ±15 V under normal conditions, especially at elevated temperatures where junction heating increases stress on the die.
Does OP470GPZ require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, OP470GPZ is internally compensated and unity-gain stable without external components. Its 6 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 2 V/μs slew rate are specified under unity-gain conditions. Adding external compensation may degrade bandwidth and is unnecessary unless driving highly reactive loads (>1000 pF) where the R3/C1 network from Figure 11 is recommended instead.
How does the input protection scheme of OP470GPZ affect circuit design?
OP470GPZ uses back-to-back diodes without series current-limiting resistors to preserve low-noise performance. This requires limiting differential input voltage to ±1.0 V and input current to ±25 mA. Designers must ensure source impedances ≥100 Ω or add Schottky clamps to V– to prevent parasitic conduction during power sequencing mismatches.
Can OP470GPZ drive capacitive loads directly, and what is the limit?
OP470GPZ can drive up to 1000 pF capacitive loads stably in unity-gain configuration. Beyond this, phase margin erodes due to pole formation between output impedance (~50 Ω) and load capacitance. For larger loads, the decoupling network (R3 = 50 Ω, C1 = 1000 pF) shown in Figure 11 restores stability without degrading small-signal bandwidth.
What is the guaranteed input offset voltage drift over temperature for OP470GPZ?
OP470GPZ (G grade) guarantees average input offset voltage drift of 2 μV/°C maximum over –40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of the datasheet under TCVOS parameter. At room temperature, typical drift is 0.4–0.6 μV/°C, making it suitable for precision DC-coupled amplifiers where thermal EMFs must be minimized.
