Product details
Overview
TL084ACD from Texas Instruments is a quad JFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in industrial and audio systems. It delivers 5.25 MHz gain-bandwidth, 20 V/μs slew rate, ±15 V supply operation, low 3 mV max input offset voltage (at 25°C), and rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending to VCC+. It is used in pro audio mixers and battery test equipment where low noise and high CMRR are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TL084ACD datasheet, TL084ACD pinout, TL084ACD application, or TL084ACD equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-14 package details, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts with technical and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The TL084ACD uses a JFET-input differential pair architecture enabling ultra-low input bias current (≤200 pA) and high input impedance (>1 TΩ). Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability with capacitive loads up to 300 pF while maintaining 56° phase margin.
It operates across ±2.25 V to ±20 V supplies (4.5 V to 40 V total), supports common-mode inputs up to VCC+, and features output short-circuit protection. The device meets industrial temperature requirements (0°C to 70°C) and includes EMI/RF filtering for noisy environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | Quad - enables four independent amplification stages on one die, reducing board space vs discrete op-amps. |
| Gain-bandwidth product | 5.25 MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~500 kHz at G = +10 without peaking. |
| Slew rate | 20 V/μs - allows clean reproduction of fast transients (e.g., audio clipping detection, pulse shaping). |
| Input offset voltage (max) | 10 mV at full temperature range - sets worst-case DC error in precision integrators or sensor front-ends. |
| Supply voltage range | ±2.25 V to ±20 V - compatible with legacy ±15 V rails and modern low-voltage industrial systems. |
| Input bias current (max) | 200 pA at 25°C - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance photodiode or piezoelectric sensor interfaces. |
| Common-mode input range | Extends to VCC+ - enables direct sensing of signals referenced to positive rail (e.g., high-side current sensing). |
Pinout & Package
TL084ACD is housed in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, surface-mountable with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012 compliant, and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1OUT | Amplifier A output - drives feedback network or next stage; capable of ±12 V swing into 10 kΩ. |
| 2 | 1IN– | Inverting input of Amp A - connects to feedback path in inverting configurations or summing junctions. |
| 3 | 1IN+ | Non-inverting input of Amp A - accepts reference or sensor signal; high-Z node sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| 4 | VCC+ | Positive power supply - must be decoupled locally with ≥0.1 μF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 5 | 2IN+ | Non-inverting input of Amp B - electrically isolated from other amps but shares substrate; guard traces recommended. |
| 6 | 2IN– | Inverting input of Amp B - matches pin 2 functionally; identical AC/DC specs across all four channels. |
| 7 | 2OUT | Amplifier B output - independently buffered; no crosstalk specification given, but typical channel separation >100 dB at DC. |
| 8 | VCC– | Negative power supply - return path for all four amplifiers; star grounding recommended for multi-channel layouts. |
| 9 | 3OUT | Amplifier C output - same drive capability as pins 1 and 7; usable for dual-supply active filters or level-shifting stages. |
| 10 | 3IN+ | Non-inverting input of Amp C - pin-compatible with 1IN+ and 2IN+; supports identical biasing schemes. |
| 11 | 3IN– | Inverting input of Amp C - matches pin 2/6 behavior; suitable for instrumentation amp input buffering. |
| 12 | 4IN+ | Non-inverting input of Amp D - enables four-channel signal conditioning (e.g., stereo L/R + monitor paths). |
| 13 | 4IN– | Inverting input of Amp D - fully symmetric with other inverting inputs; no internal trimming or matching beyond spec limits. |
| 14 | 4OUT | Amplifier D output - completes quad functionality; all outputs rated for ±26 mA short-circuit current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low input bias current | ≤200 pA enables accurate measurement from high-impedance sources like pH electrodes or piezoelectric sensors. |
| Rail-to-rail common-mode input | Accepts inputs up to VCC+, eliminating need for level-shifting in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
| Output short-circuit protection | Withstands continuous short to either rail, improving reliability in production test fixtures and motor-drive feedback loops. |
| EMI/RF filtering | Integrated on-chip filters suppress 1 GHz interference, critical for automotive or industrial environments with switching noise. |
| Wide supply range | Operates from ±2.25 V to ±20 V, supporting both low-power portable designs and robust industrial ±15 V systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad JFET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL084CDR | Same SOIC-14 package and electrical specs, but rated for 0°C to 70°C (same temp grade as TL084ACD); identical pinout and footprint. | No functional difference - interchangeable in commercial-grade designs where extended temp range is not required. | Select TL084CDR if cost optimization is priority and ambient operating temperature remains within 0°C–70°C. |
| OPA4134UA | Lower 8 nV/√Hz noise, 0.1 μV/°C drift, and 10 MHz GBW; requires ±18 V max supply; SOIC-14 pinout but not pin-compatible due to different VCC–/VCC+ placement. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise audio preamps or precision instrumentation where TL084ACD's 37 nV/√Hz noise is limiting. | Choose OPA4134UA only when upgrading performance justifies PCB redesign and higher BOM cost. |
Compared with TL084CDR, TL084ACD offers identical functionality at the same price point, while OPA4134UA delivers superior noise and bandwidth at the cost of non-interchangeability and higher unit price.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for TL084ACD?
The TL084ACD is specified for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade rating makes it suitable for indoor industrial equipment, audio gear, and benchtop test instruments-not extended-temperature applications like under-hood automotive or outdoor solar inverters, where TL084H (–40°C to 125°C) would be required. Always verify thermal derating in your PCB layout using the 114.2°C/W RθJA value for SOIC-14.
Does TL084ACD support single-supply operation?
Yes, TL084ACD supports single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 40 V total supply. Its common-mode input range extends to VCC+, allowing direct interfacing with sensors referenced to the positive rail. However, output swing is limited to ~115 mV from each rail under light load, so mid-rail biasing (e.g., VCC/2 reference) is required for AC-coupled signals to avoid clipping.
Can TL084ACD drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
TL084ACD is stable driving up to 300 pF capacitive load with adequate phase margin (56°), per datasheet testing at G = +1, RL = 10 kΩ, CL = 20 pF. For larger loads (e.g., long cables or ADC input capacitance >300 pF), add a series resistor (≥100 Ω) between amplifier output and load to isolate capacitance and maintain stability-verified in Figure 5-25 of the datasheet.
How does TL084ACD compare to TL084CD in terms of offset voltage?
TL084ACD has tighter input offset voltage specifications than TL084CD: max 3 mV at 25°C and 10 mV over full temperature range (0°C to 70°C), versus TL084CD's 6 mV/13 mV. This 3× improvement in worst-case DC error benefits precision integrators, low-gain sensor amplifiers, and applications where auto-zeroing isn't feasible-making TL084ACD preferred for higher-accuracy analog front-ends.
Is TL084ACD pin-compatible with other TL084 variants in SOIC-14?
Yes, TL084ACD is fully pin-compatible with all TL084x variants in the SOIC-14 package (e.g., TL084CD, TL084BCD, TL084HCD), sharing identical pinout, footprint, and solder-reflow profile. Differences lie only in electrical grading (offset, drift, noise) and temperature range-not physical or functional interface-enabling drop-in replacement where performance and environmental specs align.
