Looking for a quad rail-to-rail op amp similar to TL074 in DIP14 package?

[Ravaner]

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.

Thanks but I'm looking for DIP14 package not SMD

OOPS !
Haste makes waste - i looked at this and just saw 14 pins.

my mistake

both perhaps a bit slow for audio

Texas Instruments LMC660 is a rail to rail op amp that I have had ok luck with.

 

[jim hardy]

What is behind your need for rail to rail input ? Might there be a way around it so you can stick with everyday TLO74?

Adapters are available to do the conversion.

Hi. Sorry LMC660 is limited to +15.5 V power supply and I need -12 -> +12V

rail to rail (mainly for input)

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 V_BE 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.

Or can you just increase the supply voltage, maybe even with a couple boost-converters?

FURTHER DIGGING:
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.

Let us know how it turns out.

you may be on the right track
@Ravaner wasn't really specific in the requirement

does he really mean like this Op-amp ?... ( referring to the type of input ONLY)

NCS2002 ?

[davenn]

there are lots like this ... LT1498
http://cds.linear.com/docs/en/datasheet/14989fg.pdf

trying to find 14 pin DIP instead of SMD seems very difficult

OK here is one ... LMC6484

Take a look at these few:

Finally, I found a more or less bad solution with LT1491, which has, unfortenatly, a very short GBWP with 200 kHz. Thanks for all yours replies

If really stuck you can buy SMD to DIP adaptors. Not very expensive if you just want one or two. I haven't checked if this is exactly what you need but just for example..

Edit: Ah I see someone already suggested adaptors.

If you go directly to the source they will sell you the chip already populated to the adapter. It is a bit pricey but great for the harder to solder variations.

I know this is an older thread, but in case someone reads it and is interested, you can make rail-to-rail op amps without any technology changes (such as depletion mode devices). The key idea is to put a PNP diff pair in parallel with a NPN diff pair. Then you use an adaptive bias circuit to adjust the currents between the two stages to approximate constant gm from rail to rail. Typically you don't really need to cover both rails, in which case you just need to choose PNP or NPN inputs (or PMOS or NMOS if you're doing a CMOS chip).

Interesting approach! I'm interesting in following up on it. Can you point me to a datasheet so I can follow up?

Do you have access to the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits? The primary paper is Huijsing and Linebarger, "Low-Voltage Operational Amplifier with Rail-to-Rail Input and Output Ranges", IEEE J. Solid-State Circuits, vol. 20, no 6. December 1985.

The paper would go into a lot of detail. Maxim has an app note the technique. https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/app-notes/index.mvp/id/4428

The Linear Tech LT1366 also uses the technique. There is some info in the datasheet but not a ton. http://cds.linear.com/docs/en/datasheet/1366fb.pdf
