Hello. I'm looking for a quad op amp similar to TL074 but rail to rail (mainly for input) in DIP14 (I found a lot in SMD) and supporting +12V / -12V as power supply.

OOPS !Ravaner said:Thanks but I'm looking for DIP14 package not SMD
Adapters are available to do the conversion.Ravaner said:Thanks but I'm looking for DIP14 package not SMD
I don't think there is such a thing, at least not in bi-polar technology. Consider that the input stage will have an inherent VBE to turn on and that there must be a load for the first stage, in either the Emitter or Collector, to sense the change in current. It might be possible in MOSFET technology with a depletion mode input stage but I haven't thought it through completely. Your best bet is to put a voltage divider in the input to stay within the Common Mode range. You only need to lose 10% to 20% of input range, not a big hit for later gain stages.Ravaner said:rail to rail (mainly for input)

You may be able to use a couple of MOSFETs as a pre-amp input stage to get close to rail-to-rail input but it seems like a lot of added complexity for little gain.
A Google search shows a few hits for rail-to-rail input but they are low supply voltage (7V), single or dual, and small packages.

Interesting approach! I'm interesting in following up on it. Can you point me to a datasheet so I can follow up?analogdesign said:The key idea is to put a PNP diff pair in parallel with a NPN diff pair.
