LM324-M – NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR

The National Semiconductor LM324-M is a low-power, quad operational amplifier specifically configured in a 14-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package for surface mount applications. Each of the four independent op-amps within the LM324-M offers a wide input common-mode voltage range that includes ground, making it suitable for single-supply operation. This version guarantees an output voltage swing within millivolts of the supply rail, enabling efficient signal processing even at lower voltages. It boasts a typical output current rating of 40mA per channel, sufficient for driving moderate loads. The LM324-M is designed for robust performance across an operating temperature range of –25°C to 85°C, making it suitable for industrial and automotive applications. Its low input bias current and high open-loop gain make it ideal for precision amplification, filtering, and signal conditioning in cost-sensitive designs where board space is a premium. The SOIC package allows for automated assembly, improving production efficiency. Output Voltage Rating: 30V.
