Product details
Overview
TL3474IN from Texas Instruments is a quad, high-slew-rate, single-supply operational amplifier optimized for industrial and measurement applications. It delivers 4.5 MHz gain-bandwidth, 10 V/μs positive slew rate, and operates from 4 V to 36 V with input common-mode range extending to ground (VCC−). It is used in SAR ADC reference buffers and low-side current sensing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the TL3474IN datasheet, TL3474IN pinout, TL3474IN application, or TL3474IN equivalent, key selection criteria include single-supply rail-to-rail input capability, 4-channel channel separation >100 dB, thermal performance in PDIP-14 package, and compatibility with ±15 V or 5 V–36 V supply configurations.
Technical Context
The TL3474IN uses bipolar fabrication to achieve low input offset voltage (≤3 mV max), high input resistance (540 GΩ), and robust output short-circuit protection. Its design supports wide common-mode input range down to VCC−, enabling direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors and multiplexed signal chains.
It features matched internal quad amplifiers with 101 dB channel separation at 10 kHz and stable unity-gain operation up to 85 kHz power bandwidth. The device maintains 70° phase margin with 2 kΩ load and no external capacitance, supporting reliable closed-loop performance in precision analog front-ends.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC34074N | Lower gain-bandwidth (1.3 MHz), higher input offset (7 mV max), no guaranteed 4 V min supply | Less suitable for high-speed ADC drivers or low-voltage single-supply systems | Select TL3474IN where ≥4.5 MHz GBW, ≤3 mV offset, or 4 V operation is required |
| TL084CN | JFET input (higher input impedance), higher VIO (15 mV max), no short-circuit protection | Better for ultra-high-Z sources but less robust in industrial overload conditions | Choose TL3474IN for ruggedized industrial use with ground-sensing capability and built-in fault tolerance |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for TL3474IN?
The TL3474IN is rated for operation from –40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for industrial environments including programmable logic controllers and motor control systems exposed to wide ambient variations. This extended temperature grade is confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" table of the official TI datasheet SLVS461C, and applies specifically to the TL3474IN variant with PDIP packaging and N-suffix marking.
Does TL3474IN support true single-supply operation with input down to ground?
Yes, TL3474IN supports true single-supply operation with input common-mode voltage range extending to VCC− (ground when VCC− is tied to GND). This is explicitly specified in the datasheet's "Recommended Operating Conditions" and "Electrical Characteristics" tables, enabling direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors and eliminating the need for level-shifting circuitry in low-side current sensing applications.
What package type and dimensions does TL3474IN use?
TL3474IN uses a 14-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-N) with dimensions 19.30 mm × 9.40 mm and standard 0.100″ (2.54 mm) row spacing. Lead finish is NiPdAu, RoHS-compliant, and the package has θJA = 80 °C/W. This mechanical configuration is documented in TI's "Mechanical, Packaging, and Orderable Information" section and verified in the PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM dated 10-Mar-2026.
How does TL3474IN differ from TL3474A variants?
TL3474IN belongs to the standard-grade TL3474 series (not the 'A' grade), meaning its maximum input offset voltage is 3 mV (vs. 3 mV max for TL3474A), and it shares identical AC performance (4.5 MHz GBW, 10 V/μs slew rate) and pinout. The 'I' suffix denotes –40°C to +105°C operation, while 'N' specifies PDIP packaging-both attributes confirmed in TI's orderable part number matrix for TL3474IN.
Is TL3474IN pin-compatible with MC34074 or MC33074?
Yes, TL3474IN is pin-compatible with MC34074 and MC33074 in the 14-pin PDIP package, sharing identical pin functions and layout per TI's "Alternative to MC33074/A and MC34074/A" statement in the Features section. This allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs, though TL3474IN offers improved gain-bandwidth (4.5 MHz vs. 1.3 MHz) and lower offset voltage (3 mV vs. 7 mV max).
