The LM324 is a quad operational amplifier (op-amp) integrated circuit that is designed for a wide range of analog applications. It consists of four independent op-amps with a common supply voltage range of 3V to 32V, making it suitable for use in a variety of circuit designs. The LM324 is known for its low power consumption and high slew rate, making it ideal for battery-powered or low-voltage applications. This versatile op-amp is capable of operating in a single supply or split supply configuration, allowing for flexibility in circuit design. Each op-amp in the LM324 has a high input impedance and low input bias current, making it suitable for high impedance sensor interfaces and precision measurement applications. With its wide temperature range and small outline package, the LM324 is a popular choice for audio amplifiers, transducer amplifiers, and many other analog signal processing applications.
