NE5534

Texas Instruments · Operational Amplifier · SOIC-8

The NE5534 is a single high-performance operational amplifier with low input noise voltage, high slew rate, and wide bandwidth. It has long been a standard in professional audio for microphone preamplifiers, mixing consoles, and active filters where low noise and clean drive into low-impedance loads are needed.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 BALANCE passive External frequency-compensation / offset-null connection. Together with COMP/BAL (pin 8), used with an external potentiometer to null the input offset voltage.
2 IN- input Inverting input of the op-amp. Common-mode input-voltage range ±12 V typ at V_CC± = ±15 V; input bias current 500 nA typ, 1500 nA max at 25°C.
3 IN+ input Noninverting input of the op-amp. Common-mode input-voltage range ±12 V typ at V_CC± = ±15 V; input bias current 500 nA typ, 1500 nA max at 25°C.
4 VCC- power_in Negative supply rail. Recommended operating range -5 V to -15 V; absolute maximum -22 V. Typically ±15 V split-supply operation.
5 COMP passive External frequency-compensation pin. An external capacitor (typically 22 pF) between COMP and COMP/BAL sets the frequency response for gains below three; C_C = 0 for closed-loop gain ≥3.
6 OUT output Amplifier output. Short-circuit protected (I_OS ≈ 38 mA typ); peak-to-peak output-voltage swing 32 V typ into R_L = 600 Ω at V_CC± = ±18 V; slew rate 13 V/µs typ (C_C = 0).
7 VCC+ power_in Positive supply rail. Recommended operating range 5 V to 15 V; absolute maximum 22 V. Total supply current 4 mA typ, 8 mA max (no load).
8 COMP/BAL passive Combined external frequency-compensation and offset-null pin. Connects to the second terminal of the compensation capacitor (to pin 5, COMP) and to the wiper/end of the balance potentiometer used with BALANCE (pin 1).
