Product details
Overview
RC4558DGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier designed for audio signal conditioning in bipolar-supply systems. It delivers 4MHz gain-bandwidth product, 6.5nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 10kHz, 0.0001% THD+N at 1kHz, ±14.1V output swing (RL = 10kΩ), and operates across ±5V to ±15V supply rails. It serves as a low-noise, low-distortion gain stage in AV receiver preamp circuits.
For engineers reviewing the RC4558DGKR datasheet, RC4558DGKR pinout, RC4558DGKR application, or RC4558DGKR equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-channel matching, wide common-mode input range (±14V), absence of latch-up, internal frequency compensation, and suitability for voltage-follower and differential-output configurations in consumer audio systems.
Technical Context
The RC4558DGKR integrates two independent high-fidelity op-amps on a single die with matched AC performance-gain and phase response are aligned between channels to support stereo or dual-path signal chains. Its internal frequency compensation eliminates external compensation components while maintaining stability under capacitive loads up to 100pF.
It supports both dual-supply (±5V to ±15V) and single-supply operation with rail-referenced biasing. The device features high common-mode rejection (94dB typical) and power-supply rejection (102dB typical), enabling robust operation in noisy power environments typical of integrated audio subsystems.
Key Specifications

Use Value: Maintains channel balance and phase coherence across 20Hz–20kHz, preventing stereo image collapse due to inter-channel mismatch. | Use Scenario: Implementing active summing nodes and post-fader output drivers in analog mixing consoles with discrete channel strips. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op-amp providing simultaneous signal inversion and level shifting for balanced output generation and bus summing. Use Value: Enables differential output creation (e.g., ±8V swing) from single-ended sources using only two amplifiers and passive resistors-no additional ICs required. |
| Soundbar Signal Path | Wireless Speaker DAC Output Buffer |
Use Scenario: Driving multi-driver arrays (tweeter/midrange/woofer) via passive crossovers in compact soundbars with space-constrained PCB layouts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel output buffer delivering high-current drive capability (±125mA peak) into reactive speaker loads. Use Value: Sustains ±10V output swing into 2kΩ loads while preserving transient response (67ns rise time), ensuring crisp high-frequency articulation. | Use Scenario: Post-DAC analog filtering and volume-controlled output buffering in Bluetooth/Wi-Fi enabled smart speakers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-noise, low-distortion I/V conversion and line driver; one amplifier filters DAC output, the other drives headphone or speaker outputs. Use Value: 6.5nV/√Hz input noise prevents audible hiss when amplifying low-level DAC outputs, critical for high-SNR playback at low volumes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE5532DR | Higher slew rate (9V/μs), lower input noise (5nV/√Hz), but higher quiescent current (8mA) | Better suited for high-speed active filters and ultralow-noise microphone preamps | Select NE5532DR when >5MHz bandwidth or sub-5nV/√Hz noise is mandatory; RC4558DGKR offers better power efficiency for line-level stages |
| LM833N | Identical pinout and basic specs, but wider supply range (±4V to ±20V) and slightly higher THD+N (0.0002%) | Legacy through-hole alternative with identical functional behavior in existing SOIC-8 footprints | LM833N is a drop-in replacement in PDIP-8 sockets; RC4558DGKR provides superior thermal performance in VSSOP-8 for dense layouts |
Compared with NE5532DR and LM833N, RC4558DGKR delivers optimal trade-off between audio fidelity (0.0001% THD+N), power efficiency (5.6mA), and thermal footprint (VSSOP-8), making it preferred for space- and power-sensitive consumer audio PCBs where 4MHz bandwidth suffices.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the RC4558DGKR support?
The RC4558DGKR operates across ±5V to ±15V dual-supply rails, corresponding to a total supply range of 10V to 30V. Absolute maximum ratings limit VCC+ to +18V and VCC− to −18V; exceeding these values risks permanent damage. The device is not rated for single-supply operation below ±5V, and recommended conditions specify ±5V minimum for full specification compliance. RC4558DGKR maintains specified THD+N, noise, and output swing within this range.
Does the RC4558DGKR require external frequency compensation?
No, the RC4558DGKR features internal frequency compensation optimized for unity-gain stability across temperature and supply variations. This eliminates the need for external compensation capacitors in standard inverting, noninverting, or voltage-follower configurations. RC4558DGKR remains stable driving capacitive loads up to 100pF without oscillation, simplifying layout and reducing BOM count.
How does the RC4558DGKR perform in terms of channel matching?
The RC4558DGKR provides tightly matched gain and phase response between its two amplifiers, as confirmed in the datasheet's "Gain and phase match between amplifiers" feature. This matching ensures consistent frequency response and group delay across stereo or dual-path signal chains, minimizing imaging errors in audio applications. RC4558DGKR's matched performance is intrinsic to its monolithic dual-die construction-not achieved via external trimming.
What is the maximum output current capability of the RC4558DGKR?
The RC4558DGKR delivers ±125mA peak output current per amplifier, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This enables direct drive of moderate-impedance loads such as active crossover networks or low-impedance headphones without external buffers. RC4558DGKR sustains ±10V swing into 2kΩ loads while staying within safe operating area limits, verified across 0°C to 70°C ambient.
Is the RC4558DGKR suitable for single-supply operation?
Yes, the RC4558DGKR can operate from a single supply by referencing inputs and outputs to a mid-rail bias voltage (e.g., VCC/2). Its wide common-mode input range (±14V) and output swing (±14.1V) allow functional operation with appropriate biasing, though full specifications are guaranteed only under dual-supply conditions (±5V to ±15V). RC4558DGKR's lack of rail-to-rail input/output does not preclude single-supply use in line-level audio stages with proper DC bias design.
