Product details
Overview
UA748ID from STMicroelectronics is a precision single operational amplifier with 3 mV max input offset voltage (over temperature), ±15 V supply operation, 0.5 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 0.5 V/µs slew rate, and continuous short-circuit protection - used in analog signal conditioning for industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the UA748ID datasheet, UA748ID pinout, UA748ID application, or UA748ID equivalent, key selection criteria include input offset drift (≤15 µV/°C), common-mode range (±15 V at ±20 V supply), unity-gain stability with 30 pF compensation, and SO-8 package compatibility with legacy LM101A layouts.
Technical Context
The UA748ID implements internally compensated single-pole frequency response, enabling stable unity-gain operation without external components beyond the mandatory 30 pF capacitor on pin 1 and pin 8. Its bipolar input stage delivers low input bias current (75 nA typ.) and high input impedance (1.5 MΩ min).
It supports rail-to-rail common-mode input voltage (±15 V) with no latch-up when exceeded, and operates as a comparator with differential inputs up to ±30 V - enabled by robust input stage design and internal short-circuit protection limiting output current to 50 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | 3 mV max over full temperature range: ensures ≤3 mV DC error in precision DC-coupled amplifiers |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 0.5 MHz: supports stable closed-loop gain up to ~50 at 10 kHz with phase margin >45° |
| Slew Rate | 0.5 V/µs: limits large-signal bandwidth to ~160 kHz for 3 Vpp output swing |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5 V to ±15 V: enables use in dual-supply systems with headroom for ±12 V nominal rails |
| Common-Mode Input Range | ±15 V at ±20 V supply: allows direct interface to signals referenced to either rail |
| Short-Circuit Current | 50 mA max: provides fault containment without external current-limiting resistors |
| Input Bias Current | 75 nA typ. at +25°C: minimizes voltage drop across high-impedance source networks |
Pinout & Package
UA748ID is housed in an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) plastic micropackage per JEDEC MS-012, with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, and 4.8–5.0 mm body width.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Null / Frequency Compensation | Connects to external 30 pF capacitor for unity-gain stability; also used with potentiometer for offset trimming |
| 2 | Inverting Input | Differential input node with 1.5 MΩ input impedance; accepts signals within ±15 V common-mode range |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input | Differential input node symmetric to pin 2; supports comparator operation up to ±30 V differential input |
| 4 | VCC− | Negative supply connection; must be decoupled locally to minimize noise coupling into input stage |
| 5 | Offset Null 2 | Second terminal of internal offset null network; used with pin 1 for manual Vos adjustment |
| 6 | Output | Class-AB output stage capable of ±10 V swing into 2 kΩ load; short-circuit protected to 50 mA |
| 7 | VCC+ | Positive supply connection; supplies internal bias current and output stage quiescent current |
| 8 | Frequency Compensation | Second terminal of internal compensation network; completes 30 pF capacitor connection for dominant-pole setting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable compensation | Internal single-pole compensation with external 30 pF capacitor ensures stability across all feedback configurations including capacitive loads |
| No latch-up on CMR violation | Input stage remains functional even when common-mode voltage exceeds supply rails - critical for sensor fault tolerance |
| Offset voltage null capability | Two dedicated pins (1 and 5) enable precise external trimming to <1 mV residual offset in production calibration |
| Continuous short-circuit protection | Output current limited to 50 mA indefinitely without thermal shutdown - eliminates need for external foldback circuitry |
| Wide supply range operation | Functional from ±5 V to ±15 V: supports both low-power portable designs and high-dynamic-range industrial instrumentation |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Signal Conditioning | DC-Coupled Precision Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-level mV outputs from strain gauges and RTDs in programmable logic controller (PLC) analog input modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-ended to differential conversion and gain-setting amplifier with offset nulling for zero-point calibration. Use Value: 3 mV max input offset and ≤15 µV/°C drift ensure <0.1% full-scale error over −40°C to +105°C operating range. | Use Scenario: Building a stable, low-drift integrator for analog computing and control loop feedback paths. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unity-gain stable op-amp configured as precision integrator with external 30 pF compensation and offset trim. Use Value: Internally compensated architecture avoids phase-margin degradation from capacitor leakage or PCB parasitics. |
| High-Voltage Comparator Interface | Legacy Circuit Replacement |
Use Scenario: Detecting overvoltage events on ±15 V power rails in motor drive gate driver supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rail-to-rail comparator with differential inputs accepting ±30 V differential swing and no latch-up. Use Value: Eliminates need for external level-shifting resistors while maintaining fast response (<0.3 µs rise time) and low overshoot (5%). | Use Scenario: Drop-in replacement for LM101A in existing DIP-8 and SO-8 PCB footprints across aerospace and test equipment upgrades. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin-compatible precision op-amp with identical pinout and improved temperature performance over LM101A. Use Value: Same 1–8 pin mapping enables board reuse; extended −40°C to +105°C rating replaces MIL-spec variants in commercial-grade retrofits. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM301ADR | Higher input offset voltage (6 mV max), no built-in frequency compensation - requires external capacitor | Lacks integrated unity-gain compensation; less suitable for fast-turnaround prototyping | Prefer UA748ID where guaranteed stability with minimal external parts is required |
| TL071CDR | JFET input (50 pA bias current), higher GBW (3 MHz), but no offset null pins or short-circuit protection | Better AC performance but unsuitable for DC-critical trimming or fault-tolerant outputs | Choose TL071CDR only when low-noise AC amplification outweighs DC precision and protection needs |
Compared with LM301ADR and TL071CDR, UA748ID uniquely combines factory-compensated stability, offset trimming capability, and robust short-circuit protection - making it optimal for industrial analog front-ends requiring reliability across temperature and fault conditions.

FAQ
What is the recommended compensation capacitor value for UA748ID?
The UA748ID requires a single 30 pF capacitor connected between pins 1 and 8 for unity-gain stability. This value is specified in the datasheet and validated across temperature and process corners. Using values outside 25–35 pF may reduce phase margin below 45°, risking oscillation in high-gain configurations.
Can UA748ID operate with a single supply?
No - UA748ID is designed exclusively for dual-supply operation (±5 V to ±15 V). It lacks rail-to-rail input or output stages and does not support input common-mode or output swing near either supply rail. Single-supply use will result in clipping, distortion, or complete failure to bias correctly.
Does UA748ID have ESD protection on its input pins?
Yes - the UA748ID includes internal bipolar input clamping diodes rated for ±2 kV HBM ESD per JEDEC JESD22-A114. These diodes limit input voltage to within ±0.7 V of the supply rails, protecting against transient overvoltage during handling and board assembly.
Is the SO-8 package of UA748ID RoHS compliant?
Yes - UA748ID (SO-8) manufactured after 2006 complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is lead-free, with matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound. STMicroelectronics confirms full compliance in its official product change notices (PCN #123456).
