The LM324-SR is a quad operational amplifier (op-amp) integrated circuit manufactured by 3Peak. This versatile op-amp consists of four independent, high-gain frequency compensated operational amplifiers designed to operate from a single supply over a wide voltage range. It is suitable for a variety of analog applications.

Additional Details

The LM324-SR can operate from a single supply voltage ranging from 3V to 32V, or from dual supplies ranging from ±1.5V to ±16V. It has a low input bias current, typically around 45 nA, and a low input offset voltage. The operating temperature range is typically from -25°C to +85°C. The package type (e.g., SOIC, DIP) influences the mounting and soldering process. Datasheets provide comprehensive electrical characteristics, thermal specifications, and application circuits. The slew rate and gain-bandwidth product are important performance parameters to consider. It is commonly used in audio amplifiers, signal processing circuits, and instrumentation.
