Product Overview
The LM324N is a quad operational amplifier manufactured by Texas Instruments (also available from onsemi and others). It consists of four independent high-gain internally frequency-compensated op-amps designed for single-supply operation from 3V to 32V. The device features low supply current drain, input common-mode voltage range including ground, and large output voltage swing, making it one of the most widely used general-purpose op-amps.
