Product details
Overview
UA747CN from Texas Instruments is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier in 14-pin PDIP package, featuring ±15 V supply operation, ±12 V common-mode input range, 0.5 V/µs slew rate, and ±40 mA short-circuit output current - used in voltage-follower, active filter, and comparator circuits requiring latch-up immunity and internal frequency compensation.
For engineers reviewing the UA747CN datasheet, UA747CN pinout, UA747CN application, or UA747CN equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated dual-amplifier pin functions, real-world signal conditioning use cases, and TI-confirmed alternative op-amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The UA747CN integrates two independent high-input-impedance op-amps on a single die, each with internally compensated unity-gain-stable architecture and no external compensation required. Its dual ±15 V supply rails support rail-to-rail input common-mode range up to ±13 V and deliver 24 VPP output swing into 10 kΩ load.
Designed for industrial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), it features short-circuit protection with unlimited duration, no latch-up behavior, and 80 dB typical CMRR - enabling reliable use in motor control feedback loops and audio pre-amplifiers where input stage robustness is critical.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | ±15 V - supports bipolar signal processing without level-shifting circuitry |

| Common-Mode Input Range | ±12 V (full range) - allows direct interfacing with ±12 V sensor outputs or DACs |
| Slew Rate | 0.5 V/µs - sufficient for audio-band (<20 kHz) and low-speed control loop applications |
| Short-Circuit Output Current | ±40 mA - provides fault-tolerant drive capability into accidental shorts or capacitive loads |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 0.35 mA (typ) - enables low-power dual-channel operation in battery-backed systems |
| Channel Separation | 120 dB - ensures minimal crosstalk between amplifiers in mixed-signal signal chains |
Pinout & Package
UA747CN uses a 14-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP-N) measuring 19.3 mm × 9.4 mm, with through-hole mounting and NIPDAU lead finish. Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row when viewed from top with notch or dot orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 5 | Inverting Input (Amp 1 & Amp 2) | Differential input node for each amplifier; accepts signals referenced to ground or virtual ground |
| 2, 6 | Non-inverting Input (Amp 1 & Amp 2) | High-impedance input for positive feedback or reference biasing in follower configurations |
| 3, 7 | Output (Amp 1 & Amp 2) | Class-AB output stage capable of sourcing/sinking ±40 mA into shorted loads |
| 4 | VCC− (Negative Supply) | Common negative rail connection for both amplifiers; must be tied to system −15 V |
| 8, 11 | VCC+ (Positive Supply) | Internally connected positive supply pins; tie both to +15 V for stable dual-supply operation |
| 9, 10, 12, 13, 14 | No Internal Connection (NC) | Unbonded pins - must remain unconnected; no routing or grounding required |
Key Features

Use Scenario: Boosting microphone-level signals (–60 dBV) before ADC sampling in embedded voice recorders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel non-inverting amplifier (first stage) and second-order Sallen-Key filter (second stage). Use Value: ±12 V common-mode range accommodates DC-biased electret mic outputs; 120 dB channel separation prevents crosstalk between stereo channels. |
Use Scenario: Removing high-frequency noise from thermocouple or strain gauge sensor outputs prior to digitization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual op-amp configured as unity-gain buffer + 2-pole active RC filter with 100 Hz cutoff. Use Value: Internal compensation ensures stable 20 dB/decade roll-off without peaking; ±40 mA output drives 10 nF filter capacitors directly. |
| Voltage Comparator | Motor Control Feedback |
|
Use Scenario: Threshold detection for overvoltage protection in 12 V DC power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Open-loop comparator using one amplifier section with hysteresis via resistor feedback. Use Value: No latch-up allows safe operation during input overdrive; ±30 V differential input rating tolerates transient spikes beyond supply rails. |
Use Scenario: Closed-loop speed regulation in brushed DC motor drivers using back-EMF sensing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Error amplifier in PID controller loop comparing tachometer voltage to reference. Use Value: 0.5 V/µs slew rate supports response times < 20 µs for 10 V step changes; short-circuit protection survives PWM-induced shoot-through events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual general-purpose op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM358N | Single-supply rated (3–32 V), lower input offset (±2 mV typ), no internal compensation for >100 kHz gain-bandwidth | Better suited for 5 V microcontroller-based sensor interfaces; not recommended for ±15 V bipolar signal chains | Select LM358N only when operating from single-ended supplies and bandwidth < 1 MHz is acceptable |
| TL072CP | JFET-input (lower IIB = 65 pA), higher slew rate (13 V/µs), requires external compensation above 10 kHz | Preferred for high-impedance source buffering (e.g., piezoelectric sensors); unsuitable for cost-sensitive industrial designs needing no-compensation simplicity | Choose TL072CP when ultra-low input bias current or wide bandwidth is mandatory; retain UA747CN for rugged, no-compensation stability |
Compared with LM358N and TL072CP, the UA747CN uniquely combines bipolar-input robustness, internal unity-gain compensation, and ±15 V operation - making it optimal for legacy industrial control systems where reliability under overvoltage stress and zero-layout redesign are design priorities.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the UA747CN?
The UA747CN is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature. This industrial-grade range ensures stable performance in factory automation panels, HVAC controllers, and test equipment enclosures without forced cooling. The UA747CN does not support extended or military temperature grades - its absolute maximum storage temperature is −65°C to +150°C, but functional operation is limited to the 0°C–70°C range specified in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Does the UA747CN require external compensation components?
No, the UA747CN does not require external compensation components. It features internal frequency compensation optimized for unity-gain stability across its full operating range. This eliminates the need for external capacitors or resistors in standard inverting, non-inverting, or voltage-follower configurations - simplifying layout and improving reliability in cost-sensitive industrial applications where the UA747CN is commonly deployed.
What is the maximum output voltage swing for the UA747CN?
The UA747CN delivers a maximum peak-to-peak output voltage swing of 24 V into a 10 kΩ load and 20 V into a 2 kΩ load when operated at ±15 V supplies. These values reflect actual measured performance under specified test conditions and define the usable dynamic range for signal conditioning stages. The 24 VPP swing enables full utilization of 12-bit ADCs with ±10 V input ranges without additional gain staging.
How many pins on the UA747CN are unused (NC)?
The UA747CN has five no-connect (NC) pins: pins 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14. These terminals have no internal bond wire or silicon connection and must remain unconnected in PCB layout. They serve only mechanical support and package symmetry roles - routing traces to or grounding these pins may introduce parasitic coupling or violate TI's mechanical recommendations for the PDIP-N package.
Is the UA747CN pin-compatible with other dual op-amps like the LM358?
No, the UA747CN is not pin-compatible with the LM358. While both are dual op-amps in 8-pin packages, the UA747CN uses a 14-pin PDIP with distinct pin mapping - including separate VCC+ pins (pins 8 and 11), dual VCC− (pin 4), and five NC pins. The LM358 uses an 8-pin DIP with shared supply pins and no NC terminals. Direct substitution would require PCB redesign; the UA747CN's pinout is specific to its dual-supply, no-compensation architecture.
