Product details
Overview
RC4560IP from Texas Instruments is a dual audio operational amplifier in an 8-pin PDIP package, operating from ±2 V to ±18 V supply, delivering 5.5 V/µs slew rate and 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, with low 1.2 µVrms input noise and 0.05% THD - used in high-fidelity headphone amplifiers and active audio filters.
For engineers reviewing the RC4560IP datasheet, RC4560IP pinout, RC4560IP application, or RC4560IP equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, thermal limits, package dimensions, real-world use cases, and validated alternative options for audio signal conditioning and industrial measurement circuits.
Technical Context
The RC4560IP implements a bipolar-input, high-slew-rate op-amp architecture optimized for wideband audio and precision instrumentation. It supports rail-to-rail output swing up to ±12.5 V at 25 mA load and maintains stable operation with capacitive loads up to 100 pF.
Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability while achieving 86–100 dB large-signal voltage gain and 70–90 dB common-mode rejection across –40°C to 85°C ambient temperature range, meeting requirements for low-distortion analog front-ends in professional audio gear.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±2 V to ±18 V - enables operation from low-voltage portable audio rails to high-headroom studio-grade supplies |
| Slew Rate | 5.5 V/µs (typ) - supports clean reproduction of fast transients in 20 kHz audio signals without slew-induced distortion |
| Gain Bandwidth | 15 MHz (typ) - allows stable closed-loop gain ≥100 at 100 kHz, suitable for active crossover networks |
| Input Noise | 1.2 µVrms (typ, RIAA-weighted) - preserves dynamic range in microphone preamplifier stages with <100 nV/√Hz spectral density |
| Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.05% (typ, 1 kHz, 5 VPP, 2 kΩ load) - meets THD+N < 0.1% requirement for Class AB line-level drivers |
| Input Offset Voltage | 6 mV (max) - minimizes DC error in DC-coupled active filters without requiring external nulling circuitry |
| Common-Mode Range | ±14 V (min) - accommodates full-rail input signals in single-supply configurations with proper biasing |
Pinout & Package
RC4560IP is housed in an 8-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-P), 0.300-inch body width, with standard through-hole mounting and JEDEC MS-001 compliant footprint. Thermal resistance θJA = 85°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance node for feedback network connection; requires matched trace routing to minimize offset drift |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | Reference point for differential gain setting; sensitive to EMI pickup due to high ZIN ≈ 0.3–5 MΩ |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Capable of ±12.5 V swing into 2 kΩ; limited to ±10 V at 25 mA load per absolute max rating |
| 4 | VCC– | Negative supply rail connection; must be decoupled within 1 cm using ≥0.1 µF ceramic + 10 µF tantalum |
| 5 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Independent input for second channel; shares same CMRR and noise performance as Channel A |
| 6 | Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Configurable for inverting gain stage or summing junction; matches Channel A's input bias current (40–500 nA) |
| 7 | Output (Amplifier B) | Electrically isolated output; supports independent loading up to 50 mA peak per channel |
| 8 | VCC+ | Positive supply rail; total supply current is 4.3–5.7 mA for both amplifiers at ±15 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-channel monolithic design | Enables stereo audio processing or dual-path signal conditioning on single IC - reduces board area vs discrete solutions |
| Low THD + N (0.05%) | Meets IEC 60268-3 Class D audio amplifier linearity requirements without post-filtering or trimming |
| Wide GBW (15 MHz) | Supports 4th-order active Butterworth filters with <0.1 dB passband ripple up to 100 kHz cutoff |
| High output drive (±12.5 V into 2 kΩ) | Directly interfaces with 600 Ω professional audio lines via 1:1 transformer or resistive pad |
| Bipolar input stage | Delivers lower 1/f noise than CMOS alternatives below 100 Hz - critical for phono preamp applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NE5532AP | Higher input bias current (300 nA vs 40–500 nA), identical GBW (10 MHz), slightly lower slew rate (9 V/µs) | Preferred in legacy pro-audio designs where PCB layout already accommodates higher bias current paths | Acceptable substitute if THD target ≤0.08% and supply voltage remains ≥±12 V |
| OPA2134PA | FET-input (IIB = 10 pA), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), but lower slew rate (20 V/µs) and narrower GBW (8 MHz) | Better suited for ultra-low-noise mic preamps; less ideal for wideband active filters above 50 kHz | Choose when input impedance >1 GΩ is required and bandwidth demand is ≤100 kHz |
Compared with NE5532AP and OPA2134PA, the RC4560IP delivers superior slew rate and noise performance within its ±2–±18 V operating window, making it optimal for modern active filter and headphone driver designs where transient fidelity and power efficiency are prioritized over ultra-high input impedance.

FAQ
What is the maximum safe supply voltage for RC4560IP?
The RC4560IP has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of ±18 V. Operation beyond this limit risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term use, TI recommends staying within ±16 V under recommended operating conditions - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table where VCC+ = 2–16 V and VCC– = –2 to –16 V.
Does RC4560IP support single-supply operation?
Yes, RC4560IP supports single-supply operation when the input common-mode range (–14 V to +14 V) and output swing (±10 V to ±12.5 V) are referenced to a mid-rail bias voltage. Designers must ensure inputs remain within VICR limits and use appropriate decoupling - as demonstrated in TI's SLOS457A application examples for 0–5 V systems.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of RC4560IP in PDIP package?
The RC4560IP in PDIP (P) package has a specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 85°C/W, per the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC test board conditions and guides heatsinking decisions for continuous 5.7 mA supply current operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
Can RC4560IP drive 600 Ω professional audio loads directly?
The RC4560IP can deliver ±10 V into 25 mA loads, equating to ~240 mW into 600 Ω - sufficient for line-level distribution. However, sustained 600 Ω loading at full output may exceed thermal limits; TI recommends using external emitter followers or transformers for continuous high-power interface, as noted in the Output Voltage Swing specification.
Is RC4560IP pin-compatible with other dual op-amps like RC4558 or NE5532?
No, RC4560IP is not pin-compatible with RC4558 or NE5532. While all are 8-pin dual op-amps, RC4560IP follows standard dual-op-amp pinout (1=A-, 2=A+, 3=Aout, 4=V–, 5=B+, 6=B–, 7=Bout, 8=V+), matching NE5532 but differing from RC4558 which swaps pins 1/2 and 5/6. Always verify pin mapping against TI's SLOS457A schematic.
