LM124A: LM124AJ

Part Number: LM124A
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM124-N, LM124,

Hi, 

I requsted LM124AJ, but our distributor found a stock LM12AJ/PB instead and said I can use LM12AJ/PB but  our engineers found some difference between LM12AJ and LM124AJ/PB. Please let me know this answer.

1.     Differential Input Voltage - LM124AJ :+-32V / LM124AJ/PB : 32V. -->Question1:  Can LM124AJ/PB availble -32V also?

2.  Input Bias Current  - LM124AJ :- 50  /  LM124AJ/PB: 50     -->Question2: Is the current reading different due to a different measurement method?

3.  V(ESD)    - LM124AJ : +-500V  / LM124AJ/PB: +-250V       -->Question3 : Why is LM124AJ/PB lower than LM124AJ?

Question 5: Please let me know "Slaw rate" for LM124AJ/PB

  • Hi Js,

    the LM124 and LM124-N are different chips. The LM124-N is the original from National Semiconductors and the LM124 is a clone from TI. And different chips have different specifications...

  • Thanks for the reply, but I need to a difference LM124AJ and LM124AJ/PB. Not LM124 and LM124-N. And Ti customer told me that both parts are same chip.
  • Hello JS,

    Kai is correct.

    The LM124AJ/PB is the old National version (LM124-N), and the LM124AJ is the TI version (LM124A).

    The die is different, as they were originally designed by two different companies (at the time), but they are functionally and electrically similar. So for most applications, they are drop-in replacements.

    So unless you are running the LM124's at the edges of operation, it should drop-in replace without any issues.

  • Hello JS,

    Just to add a little bit of additional information:

    TI has stock for the LM124AJ so you should be able to find some at a distributor.

    The other difference between the LM124AJ and the LM124AJ/PB is the lead finish.   The LM124AJ has NiPdAu plating while the LM124AJ/PB has SnPb solder dip.
