LM324 is an Operational Amplifier (Op-amp) consisting of four channels. It is a very low-cost device that has true differential inputs. LM 324 is superior to the other operational amplifiers in the case of a single supply. It is capable of operating at a minimum voltage of up to 3V and maximum voltage levels of up to 32V.
The main advantage of IC LM-324 is that the common-mode input range includes a negative supply which eliminates the need for external biasing. The negative power supply voltage is also included in the output voltage range. Ic LM324 is lead (Pb) free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant. It consists of four amplifier units. It is conventional amplifier circuits, transducer amplifiers, DC gain blocks, etc.
Pin Configuration of LM324
The pin configuration of LM324 is given below in full detail
- Pin1, 7, 8, and 14 are the outputs of comparator LM324.
- Pin2, 6, 9, and 13 are the inverting inputs of this IC.
- Pin3, 5, 10, and 12 are non-inverting input pins.
- Pin11 is the ground (0V) pin of the Comparator.
- Pin4 is the supply voltage; 5V of this IC.
Feature specifications
- Wide power supply voltage range: 3V to 30V is a very important feature.
- Very low power supply current (minimum): 0.8 milliamperes can b used.
- The normal output current for each op-amp is 20 milliamperes typical (10 mA minimum).
- Output current that flows from the positive supply to output-pin: 8 milliamperes typical (5 mA minimum).
- Maximum voltage gain (typical): 100,000.
- Feedback resistors between output-pin and inverting (-) input.
