- **Low Supply Current (per amplifier):** 0.7 mA (typical)
- **Input Offset Voltage:** 2 mV (typical)
- **Input Bias Current:** 20 nA (typical)
- **Gain Bandwidth Product:** 1 MHz (typical)
- **Slew Rate:** 0.5 V/µs (typical)
- **Common-Mode Input Voltage Range:** Includes ground (0V)
- **Output Voltage Swing:** Rail-to-rail (near ground and Vcc)
- **Operating Temperature Range:** -40°C to +125°C
### **Description:**
The LM224A is a quad version of the LM124 operational amplifier, designed for single-supply operation. It is suitable for battery-powered applications due to its low power consumption. The device includes four independent op-amps in a single package, providing space and cost savings.
### **Features:**
- **Low Power Consumption:** Ideal for portable and battery-operated devices.
- **Wide Supply Voltage Range:** Supports both single and dual supplies.
- **High DC Voltage Gain:** Ensures stable performance in precision applications.
- **Short-Circuit Protection:** Enhanced reliability in harsh conditions.
- **ESD Tolerance:** Improved robustness against electrostatic discharge.
- **Industry-Standard Pinout:** Compatible with other quad op-amps like the LM324.
The LM224A is commonly used in signal conditioning, filtering, and general-purpose amplification circuits.
