MC33079N 개요

STMicroelectronics MC33079N is a monolithic quad operational amplifier designed for audio and general signal-processing applications, with four amplifiers in a 14-pin DIP package. Its headline characteristics are 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise, a 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and a 7 V/µs slew rate. The device is intended for designs that require low-noise signal amplification with sufficient bandwidth to handle audio signals and other low-frequency waveforms.

An operational amplifier is a voltage-gain building block used throughout analog electronics. The MC33079 belongs to the op-amp hierarchy, where it provides amplification, buffering, filtering, and active gain for analog signals. Its four amplifiers share a common power supply in one package, allowing one quad device to implement several stages of an audio preamplifier, mixer, line amplifier, or measurement circuit while reducing board area.

The MC33079N combines low voltage noise with high-frequency performance. The 4.5 nV/√Hz noise density supports low-noise audio amplification, while the 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product provides useful bandwidth for audio-frequency closed-loop designs. A 7 V/µs slew rate supports large-signal reproduction and reduces the likelihood of slew-rate distortion in higher-gain stages. The manufacturer also specifies very low distortion of 0.002%, along with strong phase and gain margins.

Its four-circuit organization provides flexibility for mixed-signal layouts. Each amplifier can perform a separate function, such as input amplification, active filtering, buffering, or output drive, when the system does not require all four stages simultaneously. Since this is an analog integrated circuit, its performance depends on suitable bypass capacitors, stable feedback networks, appropriate source and load impedances, and careful consideration of common-mode and output-voltage limits.

Typical uses include stereo and multichannel audio preamplification, active crossover networks, microphone and line-level signal conditioning, servo-control loops, and instrumentation requiring multiple amplifiers. The quad format can also reduce component count by replacing several individual single or dual amplifier packages. Where an existing amplifier section uses an equivalent 14-pin quad footprint, the MC33079N can serve as a focused upgrade for lower-noise audio operation after checking pin functions and operating limits.

Design the supply rails to remain within the device's operating requirements and place the bypass capacitors close to the power pins. Keep feedback loops short, use resistors and capacitors suitable for the intended audio bandwidth, and verify stability with the selected gain and load. An oscilloscope measurement of output clipping, noise, and slew behavior can confirm that the overall circuit, rather than the op amp alone, meets the system specification.

This page organizes the MC33079N's principal electrical characteristics, package details, application guidance, drop-in replacement options, and engineering trade-offs. It is designed to help engineers evaluate noise, bandwidth, slew rate, distortion, and compatibility before integrating the amplifier into an audio or precision analog design.

🎧

Stereo Audio Preamplifier

The MC33079N is well matched to stereo audio preamplification because its 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise limits amplifier-added hiss, while the 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product provides useful bandwidth for audio-frequency feedback networks. Two channels can form the left and right input stages, with the remaining channels available for gain control, active equalization, or output buffering. Its 7 V/µs slew rate helps preserve large-amplitude audio waveforms, and the 0.002% distortion specification supports low-distortion reproduction. The principal design checks are the selected gain against loop stability, output swing, and the supply headroom needed for the audio signal.

🔊

Active Crossover Network

The MC33079N can implement the multiple buffered stages used in an active audio crossover because it contains four amplifiers in one 14-pin DIP package. The 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product leaves substantial open-loop bandwidth for typical low- and high-band filter sections, while the 4.5 nV/√Hz noise density supports low-noise gain stages. The 7 V/µs slew rate improves capability with fast-changing musical transients compared with slower general-purpose amplifiers. Each channel should be assigned according to its pin functions, with crossover frequency, gain, and phase determined by the selected filter topology rather than by the op amp alone.

🎤

Microphone Signal Conditioning

For low-level microphone amplification, the MC33079N's 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise helps reduce amplifier-generated noise after the signal has been converted from current to voltage. Its four amplifiers allow separate channels for microphone preamplification, gain adjustment, filtering, and line-level buffering when the design requires that sequence. The 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product supports moderate closed-loop bandwidth, and the 7 V/µs slew rate provides suitable dynamic range for audio transients. A practical implementation must include microphone-bias components, low-value feedback resistors, input protection, and a layout that keeps sensitive input traces short.

🎚️

Line-Level Audio Buffer

The MC33079N is suitable for line-level buffering where the goal is to preserve an audio signal while providing drive for a downstream mixer, attenuator, or amplifier stage. A 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product supports useful closed-loop bandwidth, and the 7 V/µs slew rate provides headroom for rapidly changing signal peaks. The low 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise is especially valuable when buffering low-amplitude sources. Because each IC contains four channels, multiple balanced or unbalanced buffers can be consolidated, although channel-to-channel load sharing and thermal conditions should be evaluated under worst-case signal and supply conditions.

🎛️

Active Equalization and Filtering

The MC33079N can support active equalization, shelving filters, and other small-signal audio shaping networks because four amplifiers are available within a single 14-pin DIP package. The 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product allows closed-loop gains to be selected with reasonable bandwidth margin, while the 4.5 nV/√Hz noise density is beneficial when processing signals after prior gain stages. The 7 V/µs slew rate reduces large-signal distortion risk during steep filter transitions. Component tolerances, operating-gain stability, and the intended audio frequency range should determine the actual filter topology and external resistor or capacitor values.

🔧

General Instrumentation Amplification

The MC33079N can serve in instrumentation and control circuits that need several low-noise voltage-gain stages. Its 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise is useful when amplifying small signals, and the 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product provides more bandwidth than conventional audio-only amplifiers. Four channels can implement instrumentation gain, filtering, and output-buffer functions while reducing package count. The selected gain must remain stable with the feedback network, and input bias current, offset voltage, common-mode range, and output swing must be checked against the exact sensor output and supply rails. Instrumentation layout should also preserve sensor grounding and minimize leakage paths around high-impedance inputs.

What is the MC33079N?
The MC33079N is a STMicroelectronics monolithic quad operational amplifier in a 14-pin DIP package. It combines four amplifiers with 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise, a 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and a 7 V/µs slew rate. According to the STMicroelectronics MC33079 product page, it is particularly suited to audio applications, where its four independent channels can implement preamplifier, filtering, buffering, and output stages within one package.
What are the key specifications of MC33079N that engineers should know?
The MC33079N provides four amplifiers, 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise, 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 7 V/µs slew rate, and 0.002% distortion. These figures position it as a low-noise, relatively wide-bandwidth quad amplifier for audio and general analog signal processing. The 14-pin DIP arrangement also supports through-hole assembly and legacy board layouts, although engineers should still verify operating voltage, input common-mode range, and output-swing limits in the manufacturer datasheet.
Where can I download the MC33079N datasheet PDF?
The official MC33079 datasheet is available through the STMicroelectronics MC33079 product page at https://www.st.com/en/amplifiers-and-comparators/mc33079.html. The page provides the manufacturer documentation and technical description for the device family. When upgrading an existing circuit, use the pin-description table and electrical-characteristics sections to confirm package pinout, supply requirements, common-mode limits, and output capability for the MC33079N.
Where can I find the MC33079N pinout?
The MC33079N pinout is documented in the MC33079 manufacturer datasheet, including the four amplifier sections and their supply pins. The 14-pin DIP uses a conventional quad-op-amp arrangement: pins 1 through 7 serve amplifier A and amplifier B, pins 8 through 11 serve amplifier C and the positive supply connection, and pins 12 through 14 complete amplifier D. Assign PCB tracks from the datasheet pin-description table rather than relying on polarity or channel order assumptions.
Is MC33079N suitable for audio preamplifier applications?
Yes, the MC33079N is well suited to audio preamplification because it combines 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise with a 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 7 V/µs slew rate. The four channels can handle separate low-noise stages, such as input buffering, active equalization, crossover filtering, and line output. The manufacturer specifies 0.002% distortion, making the device relevant to audio designs where low noise and low signal distortion must coexist in a quad package.
What can replace MC33079N?
The closest same-family drop-in candidates are the 14-pin MC33179P, MC33178P, and MC33177P devices, subject to verification of their exact pin functions and electrical limits. The MC33079P is also an equivalent member of the MC33079 family. Each candidate provides a 14-DIP quad-amplifier arrangement, but its gain, noise, slew-rate, common-mode, and supply characteristics must be compared before substitution.
Is MC33079N the same as MC33179P?
No, MC33079N and MC33179P are related quad operational amplifiers rather than identical products. MC33079N is specified at 4.5 nV/√Hz, 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 7 V/µs slew rate, while the MC33179P belongs to a related amplifier family with its own electrical limits. MC33179P can be considered a drop-in candidate when its 14-pin layout and application requirements align, but it should not be treated as a specification-for-specification match.
MC33079N vs MC33179P: which is better for low-noise audio?
MC33079N is the stronger choice when the design prioritizes its specified 4.5 nV/√Hz noise, 15 MHz bandwidth, and 7 V/µs slew rate. MC33179P may be appropriate when its lower-cost or availability profile is more important and its measured performance meets the audio target. The decision should include an exact pin-function review, supply-range comparison, and worst-case distortion check rather than relying only on package similarity.
When should I choose MC33079N over MC33179P or MC33178P?
Choose MC33079N when the design benefits from its stated 4.5 nV/√Hz voltage noise, 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 7 V/µs slew rate, particularly in audio signal paths. MC33179P or MC33178P may be more appropriate when their verified electrical characteristics satisfy the design and commercial or lifecycle priorities favor another family member. Confirm pin compatibility and every rail, common-mode, and output-swing constraint before changing the BOM.
Is MC33079N suitable for microphone and line-level amplification?
The MC33079N can support microphone and line-level amplification when the signal amplitude lies within its input common-mode and output-swing limits. Its 4.5 nV/√Hz noise is favorable for low-level audio stages, while the 7 V/µs slew rate provides margin for larger output waveforms. For microphone circuits, include the required biasing network and assess noise from the microphone, resistors, and input capacitance in addition to the amplifier itself.
How much power does MC33079N dissipate?
MC33079N power dissipation depends on the selected supply voltage, quiescent current, output current, and ambient temperature. The device contains four amplifiers, so each channel's load can increase total dissipation beyond the no-load condition. Use the quiescent-current and output-current limits in the manufacturer datasheet to calculate worst-case dissipation, then verify that the 14-pin DIP remains below its rated junction temperature in the intended enclosure.
What layout practices are important for MC33079N?
Place power-bypass capacitors close to the positive and negative supply pins, and keep input and feedback paths short to reduce parasitic pickup and feedback. Route output traces away from high-impedance input nodes, especially when all four amplifiers operate at high gain. Use a grounded, continuous return path and avoid long traces between the IC and its compensation or frequency-setting components. The manufacturer's datasheet application information remains the authority for final layout values.

선택 가이드

Choose MC33079N when a legacy 14-DIP audio board needs a four-channel low-noise amplifier with a specified 4.5 nV/√Hz noise density, 15 MHz gain-bandwidth product, and 7 V/µs slew rate. MC33079P is the closest same-family choice when identical electrical performance is desired and its ordering configuration matches the available supply channel. MC33179P may suit designs that accept approximately 8 MHz gain-bandwidth product, while MC33178P and MC33177P should be selected only after checking their noise, distortion, slew-rate, rail, and common-mode limits. For all alternatives, confirm exact pin functions and PCB compatibility before release. If the board was designed for a lower-noise JFET-input amplifier or a modern surface-mount quad package, an adapter or PCB change may be required even when the functional performance is better.

주요 차별점

  • Higher headline gain-bandwidth product within the related quad-amplifier family (vs MC33179P)
  • Fast 7 V/µs slew rate supports dynamic audio waveforms (vs MC33178P)
  • Low-noise specification supports high-fidelity audio stages (vs MC33177P)

설계 노트

Place a supply-bypass capacitor close to pin 11 and another bypass path close to pin 4. Follow the manufacturer application circuit for the required capacitance and connection arrangement. Because four amplifiers share the same package, estimate total supply-current demand with all channels loaded and check the regulator's dropout behavior at the minimum input voltage. Do not rely on an individual amplifier's current rating when determining package or PCB supply capacity.

Keep the non-inverting inputs, feedback components, and output returns compact. High-impedance input traces should remain short and should be surrounded by a grounded reference where practical. Route output signals away from adjacent input nodes to limit capacitive feedback. Use one consistent ground reference for input returns and bypass capacitors, and avoid creating narrow copper paths beneath the DIP that could increase temperature rise.

Do not assume that the package footprint alone guarantees functional compatibility. Verify amplifier-channel ordering, positive and negative supply pins, input polarity, common-mode range, output swing, and stable closed-loop gain for every proposed replacement. In audio boards, also confirm that the alternative's noise and distortion remain acceptable at the intended signal amplitude. A scope comparison at the output can reveal oscillation, clipping, or excess phase margin concerns.
