Product details
Overview
TL074ACDR from Texas Instruments is a quad JFET-input operational amplifier optimized for low-noise, high-slew-rate signal conditioning in audio and precision analog systems. It delivers 20 V/μs slew rate, 37 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, ±2.25 V to ±20 V dual-supply operation, and rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending to VCC+. It is widely used in pro audio mixers and battery test equipment.
For engineers reviewing the TL074ACDR datasheet, TL074ACDR pinout, TL074ACDR application, or TL074ACDR equivalent, key selection criteria include its FET-input architecture for ultra-low bias current (±1 pA typ), wide supply range, low THD+N (0.00012% typ), and SOIC-14 package compatibility with legacy TL074 designs.
Technical Context
The TL074ACDR implements a high-impedance JFET differential pair input stage enabling sub-picoampere input bias current and low 1/f noise. Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability with ≥5.25 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 56° phase margin under 20 pF capacitive load.
It supports single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 40 V or split supplies up to ±20 V, with common-mode input voltage range including VCC+ - critical for high-side sensing and level-shifting applications where input signals exceed the positive rail.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slew Rate | 20 V/μs - enables faithful reproduction of fast transients in audio and control-loop feedback paths without slew-induced distortion. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 37 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - supports high-fidelity preamplification in microphone and instrument inputs where noise floor directly impacts SNR. |
| Input Bias Current | ±1 pA typical - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., piezoelectric, photodiode) and RC timing networks. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.25 V to ±20 V (or 4.5 V to 40 V single-ended) - accommodates industrial, automotive, and audio rails without external level-shifting. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | Includes VCC+ - allows direct connection of signals referenced to the positive supply, simplifying high-side current sensing and active filter topologies. |
| Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise | 0.00012% at 1 kHz - meets professional audio requirements for low-intermodulation mixing and mastering stages. |
| Quiescent Current per Channel | 940 μA - balances low power consumption with performance, suitable for multi-channel portable and rack-mounted gear. |
Pinout & Package
TL074ACDR is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC (D) package with standard JEDEC outline, 1.27 mm pitch, and surface-mount compatibility. Thermal resistance RθJA is 114.2°C/W, supporting operation up to +125°C ambient when properly heatsinked.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OUT | Output of first op-amp channel - drives loads up to 2 kΩ with ±10 V swing under ±15 V supply. |
| 2 | 1IN− | Inverting input of first channel - accepts feedback networks and differential signal pairs with 1 TΩ common-mode input resistance. |
| 3 | 1IN+ | Noninverting input of first channel - enables high-impedance signal injection, reference buffering, and sensor interface without loading. |
| 4 | VCC+ | Positive power supply terminal - must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 μF ceramic capacitor to suppress supply noise coupling into sensitive inputs. |
| 5 | 2IN+ | Noninverting input of second channel - electrically isolated from other channels; supports independent gain-setting and offset trimming. |
| 6 | 2IN− | Inverting input of second channel - shares no internal nodes with adjacent amplifiers, ensuring >100 dB channel separation at DC. |
| 7 | 2OUT | Output of second op-amp channel - capable of sourcing/sinking ±26 mA short-circuit current with built-in protection. |
| 8 | VCC− | Negative power supply terminal - forms return path for all four amplifiers; requires low-inductance ground plane routing. |
| 9 | 3OUT | Output of third op-amp channel - identical AC/DC specs to Channels 1 and 2; usable for cascaded filtering or multi-stage gain blocks. |
| 10 | 3IN+ | Noninverting input of third channel - supports biasing via high-value resistors without significant current-induced offset drift. |
| 11 | VCC− | Shared negative supply pin - connects internally to all four amplifier substrates; must be routed with minimal impedance. |
| 12 | 3IN− | Inverting input of third channel - compatible with standard active filter configurations (Sallen-Key, multiple-feedback) up to 100 kHz. |
| 13 | 4IN− | Inverting input of fourth channel - enables simultaneous processing of four independent analog signals (e.g., stereo L/R + effects send/return). |
| 14 | 4OUT | Output of fourth op-amp channel - fully specified for capacitive loads up to 300 pF, eliminating need for isolation resistors in cable-driving applications. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Input Bias Current | ±1 pA typical - preserves accuracy in high-Z sensor front-ends and electrometer-grade measurement circuits. |
| High Slew Rate | 20 V/μs - maintains fidelity for 100 kHz full-scale sine waves and fast step responses in servo control loops. |
| Wide Common-Mode Range | Extends to VCC+ - eliminates level-shifter ICs in single-supply instrumentation amplifiers and high-side current monitors. |
| Low Total Harmonic Distortion | 0.00012% at 1 kHz - satisfies THD requirements for Class A/B audio line drivers and studio-grade equalization stages. |
| Output Short-Circuit Protection | ±26 mA continuous - prevents latch-up or thermal runaway during accidental output shorts or capacitive overload conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad JFET-input operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL074CDR | Higher input offset voltage (3 mV max vs. 1 mV max for TL074ACDR), wider offset drift (±18 µV/°C), lower CMRR (70 dB min vs. 95 dB min). | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial controls where precision is secondary to basic functionality. | Select TL074CDR only when budget constraints outweigh need for low-noise, low-drift performance in audio or metrology. |
| OPA4134UA | Lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), higher slew rate (20 V/μs same), rail-to-rail output, but higher quiescent current (4 mA/ch) and no VCC+-inclusive input range. | Preferred for ultra-low-noise audio preamps requiring output swing to rails, but unsuitable for high-side sensing above VCC+. | Choose OPA4134UA when output headroom is critical and input common-mode range is constrained to within supply rails. |
Compared with TL074CDR, TL074ACDR provides tighter DC precision and lower noise for demanding signal chains; versus OPA4134UA, it trades rail-to-rail output and higher power for superior input common-mode flexibility and proven reliability in legacy designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for TL074ACDR?
The TL074ACDR supports a total supply voltage (VCC+ to VCC−) of up to 40 V, or ±20 V in dual-supply configuration. Absolute maximum ratings specify 42 V for non-NS/PS packages, but recommended operating conditions limit continuous use to 40 V to ensure long-term reliability and parameter stability across temperature.
Does TL074ACDR support single-supply operation?
Yes, TL074ACDR operates from a single supply of 4.5 V to 40 V. Its common-mode input range extends to VCC+, allowing input signals referenced to the positive rail - a key advantage over many rail-to-rail input op-amps that require external biasing for single-supply use.
How does TL074ACDR differ from TL074CDR in practical design?
TL074ACDR offers tighter initial offset (1 mV max vs. 3 mV max), lower drift (±2 µV/°C vs. ±18 µV/°C), and higher CMRR (95 dB min vs. 70 dB min). These differences directly impact DC accuracy in precision integrators, sensor bridges, and low-frequency instrumentation - making TL074ACDR preferable where calibration intervals are infrequent or environmental temperature swings are wide.
Can TL074ACDR drive capacitive loads reliably?
Yes, TL074ACDR is characterized for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 300 pF. Its internal compensation and 56° phase margin prevent peaking or oscillation in cable-driving, active filter, and ADC buffer applications - though for loads >100 pF, local feedback resistor isolation is still recommended to maintain optimal settling behavior.
Is TL074ACDR pin-compatible with other TL074 variants?
Yes, TL074ACDR uses the industry-standard 14-pin SOIC (D) package and shares identical pinout with all TL074x variants (including TL074CDR, TL074IDR, TL074H). This allows drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts without modification, provided thermal and electrical operating conditions remain within the A-grade specifications.
