Operational Amplifier IC Texas Instruments LT1014CN — Quad Precision Op-Amp in PDIP-14

The Texas Instruments LT1014CN is a quad precision operational amplifier in a PDIP-14 package. It contains four matched op-amps optimized for general-purpose precision analog tasks such as signal conditioning, active filtering, summing networks and instrumentation front-ends. The device is supplied in a through-hole PDIP-14 format suitable for prototyping and board-level mounting where multiple precision channels are required in a single package.

Advantages

The LT1014CN offers matched amplifier channels for consistent gain and offset behavior across four sections, reducing the need for external trimming. Its precision characteristics deliver low input offset and stable performance in DC and low-frequency applications. The PDIP-14 package simplifies handling and soldering during prototyping or repair, and integration of four amplifiers in one package conserves board space compared with discrete single op-amps.

Suitable for

• Sensor signal conditioning and amplification
• Active analog filters and integrator circuits
• Summing amplifiers and analog adders
• Audio preamplifier stages requiring matched channels
• Instrumentation and measurement front-ends

Key specifications

• Quad operational amplifier configuration (four amplifiers in one package)
• PDIP-14 through-hole package suitable for prototyping and board mounting
• Precision amplifier performance intended for low offset and stable DC operation
• Matched channels for consistent gain and offset across amplifiers
• General-purpose analog signal conditioning and filtering capability

How to use

Install the LT1014CN into a compatible PDIP-14 socket or solder it directly to a PCB following standard through-hole assembly practices. Provide appropriate power supply rails within the device’s specified limits and decouple the supply pins with bypass capacitors to minimize noise. Configure each amplifier section according to the desired topology (inverting, non-inverting, summing, integrator, or filter) and select feedback and input components to set gain, bandwidth, and stability. When using multiple channels, route inputs and outputs to minimize crosstalk and follow good grounding practices for measurement accuracy.

Recommendations

For best results in precision and low-noise applications, include power supply decoupling close to the package, maintain short signal paths for sensitive nodes, and match resistor networks where channel-to-channel accuracy is important. Use socketed mounting during prototyping to simplify replacement and testing of the quad amplifier assembly.
