Quad op-amp in a 14-SOIC — the BOM-fit baseline
The LM324KDR is a quad general-purpose operational amplifier from Texas Instruments, packaged in a 14-SOIC (3.90 mm width) for surface-mount assembly.
Operates from a single or split supply spanning 3 V to 30 V. Total quiescent current is 1.4 mA for all four channels — 350 µA per amplifier — keeping the thermal load low in the 14-SOIC package.
Input offset and bias — what to expect
These are not precision numbers — the LM324 is a workhorse for non-critical loops where a few millivolts of offset do not break the system.
