Product details
Overview
TL084CDG4 from Texas Instruments is a quad JFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in industrial and instrumentation 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+. Used in pro audio mixers and battery test equipment where low noise and high CMRR are critical.
For engineers reviewing the TL084CDG4 datasheet, TL084CDG4 pinout, TL084CDG4 application, or TL084CDG4 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOIC-14 package details, functional pin mapping, real-world use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented technical and application differences.
Technical Context
The TL084CDG4 implements a high-slew-rate JFET-input stage with internal frequency compensation, enabling stable unity-gain operation. Its input stage supports common-mode voltages up to VCC+, eliminating need for level-shifting in single-supply configurations.
It features output short-circuit protection, integrated EMI/RF filters, and operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. Quiescent current per amplifier is 1.4–2.5 mA at ±15 V, supporting moderate-power analog front-ends without thermal derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | Quad - enables four independent amplification paths on one die, reducing PCB area vs discrete op-amps. |
| Gain-bandwidth product | 5.25 MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to ~500 kHz at gain = 10. |
| Slew rate | 20 V/μs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transients in audio and test equipment signals. |
| Input offset voltage (max) | 10 mV at 25°C - defines worst-case DC error in precision DC-coupled gain stages. |
| Common-mode input range | VCC– to VCC+ - allows direct sensing of signals referenced to positive rail, e.g., current-sense in high-side configurations. |
| Supply voltage range | ±2.25 V to ±20 V (or 4.5 V to 40 V single-ended) - compatible with legacy ±15 V rails and modern wide-range supplies. |
| Input bias current (max) | 200 pA - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sources like piezoelectric sensors or photodiode TIA feedback networks. |
Pinout & Package
TL084CDG4 is supplied in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, surface-mount, 3.9 mm body width, standard JEDEC MS-012 footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1IN– | Inverting input of amplifier A - connects to feedback network in inverting configurations. |
| 2 | 1IN+ | Non-inverting input of amplifier A - used for reference voltage injection or sensor interface. |
| 3 | 1OUT | Output of amplifier A - drives next stage or load; rated for ±26 mA short-circuit current. |
| 4 | VCC+ | Positive power supply - must be decoupled locally with 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor. |

| 6 | 2IN– | Inverting input of amplifier B - shares same JFET input structure as pins 1 and 3, ensuring matched characteristics. |
| 7 | 2OUT | Output of amplifier B - independently buffered; supports simultaneous dual-channel signal processing. |
| 8 | VCC– | Negative power supply - return path for dual-supply operation; tied to ground in single-supply designs. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL084IDR | Wider temperature range (–40°C to +85°C vs 0°C to +70°C); otherwise identical SOIC-14 pinout and electrical specs. | Required for industrial environments exceeding 70°C ambient, e.g., motor drive cabinets or outdoor solar enclosures. | Select TL084IDR when extended temperature qualification is mandatory; TL084CDG4 remains optimal for cost-sensitive commercial-grade audio/test gear. |
| OPA4134UA | Lower input offset (150 μV typ), lower noise (8 nV/√Hz), higher GBW (4 MHz), but higher quiescent current (4 mA/ch) and no short-circuit protection. | Suitable for ultra-low-distortion audio or metrology, but not for ruggedized test equipment requiring fault tolerance. | Choose OPA4134UA only when noise and offset dominate design requirements and robustness is secondary. |
Compared with TL084IDR and OPA4134UA, TL084CDG4 offers the best balance of cost, ruggedness (short-circuit protection), and performance for commercial-grade instrumentation-delivering 20 V/μs slew rate and 5.25 MHz bandwidth without premium pricing or thermal overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for TL084CDG4?
The TL084CDG4 is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. This commercial-grade specification makes it suitable for indoor test equipment, audio consoles, and non-extended-temperature industrial controls. For applications requiring –40°C to +85°C operation, TI offers the TL084IDR variant, which shares identical pinout and electrical behavior except for temperature grading.
Does TL084CDG4 support single-supply operation?
Yes, TL084CDG4 supports true single-supply operation with common-mode input range extending to VCC+. When powered from +15 V and GND, inputs can swing from 0 V to +15 V. Output swing is rail-limited: typically within 210 mV of VCC+ and 215 mV of GND at RL = 10 kΩ. Biasing input common-mode voltage near mid-supply (e.g., +7.5 V) maximizes dynamic range.
What is the input offset voltage specification for TL084CDG4?
TL084CDG4 has a maximum input offset voltage of 10 mV at TA = 25°C, with typical value of 3 mV. Over full temperature range (0°C to +70°C), offset drift is ±18 µV/°C. These values are confirmed in Section 5.8 of the official TI datasheet SLOS081O and apply specifically to the 'C' grade (commercial temperature) devices including TL084CDG4.
Can TL084CDG4 drive capacitive loads?
Yes, TL084CDG4 is characterized to drive up to 300 pF capacitive load while maintaining stability. Its phase margin remains ≥56° with 20 pF load at unity gain, and small-signal step response shows minimal overshoot under these conditions. For loads >300 pF, external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–50 Ω in series with output) is recommended to prevent peaking or oscillation.
Is TL084CDG4 pin-compatible with other TL084 variants?
Yes, TL084CDG4 uses the standard 14-pin SOIC (D) package and shares identical pinout with all TL084x variants-including TL084IDR, TL084ACDR, and TL084BCDR. Pin functions (e.g., 1IN–, 1IN+, 1OUT, VCC+, etc.) match Table 4-5 in the TI datasheet. No PCB layout changes are needed when substituting within the same package type.
