LM324 circuit | How to | Datasheet | Pinout

Have you ever used an LM324 circuit? We may see them in many circuit diagrams. Because they are operational amplifiers (OP-AMP) that require a battery or single-polarity supply(positive and negative only). In over a very wide voltage range.

In single DIP package have 14 pins and four op-amps inside.

You can use only one of the op-amps or all four.

The current consumption is unaffected by the power supply voltage.

Feature specifications

  • Wide power supply voltage range: 3V to 30V.
  • Use low power supply current (minimum): 0.8 milliamperes.
  • The normal output current each op-amp (at pin-output to the ground) of: 20 milliamperes typical (10 mA minimum).
  • The output current that flows from the positive supply to output-pin: 8 milliamperes typical (5 mA minimum).
  • The maximum voltage gain (typical): 100,000.
  • Set the gain by setting feedback resistors between output-pin and inverting (-) input.

The application
The LM324 has numerous circuit application. We can use it in many projects.

The best learning is doing it. I am slowly learning in anything but when I try to do it I will understand. You may be the same as me.

Increase output current of LM324

When we have a low current output of OP-AMP, so cannot use any circuit output. We can increase the OP-AMP output current by this. In-circuit the OP-AMP IC-LM324 up current to 85mA size max.

LM324 circuit

The op-amp output current can generally be in the range of 20 to 40mA.
and The LM324 has numerous applications. Quad/ 1MHz/ Operational Amplifiers for Commercial/ Industrial/ and Military Applications. You will build a light meter that uses all four OP-Amps in LM324 to form a ladder comparator.
But they can provide an output current of 20mA only.

With on the LM324 IC number includes 4 OP-Amps. and 3 OP-amp is applied to parallel together. Therefore the output currents up to 85mA, it also has significant short-circuit protection too.

The properties of frequency response time from 0 Hz to 200 kHz, the R1-(10ohm), and C1-(0.01uF) are for control of isolates within, and R is the 10 ohms to control the flow of the op-amp for each mean much every op-amp.

1kHz bandpass filter circuit

When you want simple bandpass Filter circuit at Frequency 1KHz. We recommend this circuit. Because it uses LM324 op-amp highly popular.

We can change other frequency with R1, C1, C2, and R2.

    • Hello Mladen,
      Honestly, I don’t know which circuit these devices use.

      If this is important to you. I cannot confirm. But I would like to comment a little.

      In list has IC-7805. It may be about digital circuits, use 5V. But I can’t confirm that it works normally. Because I and my daughter haven’t tried it yet. We’re sorry to help you less.

      Thanks

  2. Well The 7805 ic in the list above
    is of the family 78xx,which have fixed constant output of 5v 1a
    input voltage ranges from 6v…
    it can be use on any circuit that requires 5v power supply
