Product details
Overview
TL084BCNG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad JFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in industrial and audio systems. It delivers 20 V/μs slew rate, ±1 mV input offset voltage (typ), 5.25 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 125 dB open-loop gain, and operates from ±2.25 V to ±20 V supplies. It is used in pro audio mixers and battery test equipment where low noise (37 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz) and rail-to-rail common-mode input (including VCC+) are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TL084BCNG4 datasheet, TL084BCNG4 pinout, TL084BCNG4 application, or TL084BCNG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, package-validated pin functions, real-world use cases in solar inverters and motor drives, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The TL084BCNG4 implements a high-slew-rate JFET-input stage with integrated EMI/RF filters and 1.5 kV HBM ESD protection. Its input stage supports common-mode voltage up to VCC+, enabling single-supply operation with ground-referenced inputs. The quad architecture shares thermal and supply characteristics across all four amplifiers without crosstalk degradation beyond 1 μV/V channel separation at DC.
It features low input bias current (±1 pA typ), low offset drift (±2 μV/°C), and output short-circuit protection. The device meets full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and supports capacitive loads up to 300 pF while maintaining stable phase margin (56° at G = +1).
Key Specifications

Applications
| Solar Inverter Signal Conditioning | Motor Drive Current Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Monitoring DC-link voltage and string current in central solar inverters using shunt-based sensing and isolation amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad op-amp performs simultaneous signal conditioning: two channels for voltage scaling and offset correction, two for current amplification and filtering. Use Value: 20 V/μs slew rate preserves transient fidelity during rapid irradiance changes; low offset ensures <1% measurement error over –40°C to +125°C. | Use Scenario: Amplifying low-voltage shunt signals in three-phase AC servo drives for real-time current loop control. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each amplifier handles one phase's current sense path - providing gain, filtering, and level-shifting before ADC sampling. Use Value: Rail-to-rail common-mode input allows direct interface with shunts tied to high-side switches; 37 nV/√Hz noise minimizes quantization uncertainty. |
| Pro Audio Mixer Channel Strip | Battery Test Equipment Front-End |
Use Scenario: Building discrete preamp stages in analog channel strips for studio-grade microphone and line inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Configured as non-inverting amplifiers with selectable gain and passive EQ integration; fourth channel used for phantom power monitoring. Use Value: Low THD+N (0.00012%) preserves harmonic integrity; 125 dB open-loop gain enables precise gain accuracy with minimal resistor tolerance dependence. | Use Scenario: Precision voltage/current sourcing and measurement in automated battery formation and cycling systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Used in programmable current sources, voltage references, and feedback comparators for closed-loop charge/discharge control. Use Value: ±2 μV/°C offset drift ensures stable calibration over thermal cycles; 5.25 MHz GBW supports fast response in dynamic load testing. |
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 | SOIC-14 package; wider offset voltage range (±3 mV max vs ±4 mV for TL084BCNG4); same AC specs and pinout | Preferred for surface-mount PCBs requiring higher production throughput and smaller footprint | Select TL084CDR when board space and reflow compatibility are prioritized over through-hole serviceability |
| TL074CP | Lower noise (18 nV/√Hz), lower quiescent current (1.4 mA/ch), but reduced slew rate (13 V/μs) and narrower common-mode range (does not include VCC+) | Better suited for low-power, low-noise audio preamps where rail-to-rail input is not required | Choose TL074CP only if noise dominates design requirements and VCC+-inclusive input is unnecessary |
Compared with TL084CDR and TL074CP, the TL084BCNG4 uniquely combines through-hole PDIP reliability, VCC+-inclusive input, and 20 V/μs slew rate - making it optimal for rugged industrial signal chains where layout flexibility and transient fidelity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for TL084BCNG4?
The TL084BCNG4 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 most packages, but recommended operating conditions limit continuous operation to 40 V to ensure long-term reliability and specified performance across temperature.
Does TL084BCNG4 support single-supply operation?
Yes, the TL084BCNG4 supports true single-supply operation because its common-mode input voltage range extends to VCC+. When powered from, for example, 0 V and +15 V, inputs can swing from 0 V up to +15 V - eliminating the need for level-shifting circuitry in many sensor and DAC-output interfaces.
What is the input bias current specification for TL084BCNG4?
The TL084BCNG4 exhibits an input bias current of ±1 pA typical at 25°C, with a maximum of ±120 pA across the full –40°C to +125°C range. This ultra-low value stems from its JFET-input architecture and makes it ideal for high-impedance applications such as photodiode amplifiers and precision integrators.
Can TL084BCNG4 drive capacitive loads?
Yes, the TL084BCNG4 is characterized to safely drive capacitive loads up to 300 pF while maintaining stability and specified phase margin (56°). For loads exceeding 300 pF, external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–100 Ω in series with the output) is recommended to prevent peaking or oscillation.
Is TL084BCNG4 pin-compatible with other TL084 variants?
Yes, the TL084BCNG4 uses the standard 14-pin PDIP (N) package with identical pinout to all TL084x variants including TL084CN, TL084CD, and TL084CNE4. Electrical differences exist in offset, drift, and noise specs, but mechanical and functional pin mapping remains consistent across the family.
