LM324AN Description

The LM324 quad operational amplifiers has real differential inputs and is modest in cost. In single-supply applications, they have numerous significant advantages over ordinary operational amplifier types. With quiescent currents around one-fifth of those associated with the MC1741, the quad amplifier can operate at supply voltages as low as 3.0 V or as high as 32 V. (on a per amplifier basis). In many applications, the common-mode input range encompasses the negative supply, reducing the need for external biasing components. The negative power supply voltage is included in the output voltage range.
