Description
The LM833 is a monolithic dual operational
amplifier particularly well-suited to audio
applications.
It offers low voltage noise (4.5 nV/Hz) and high
frequency performances (15 MHz gain bandwidth
product, 7 V/µs slew rate).
In addition, the LM833 has a very low distortion
(0.002%) and excellent phase/gain margins.

Input current (2): Vin driven negative
Input current (3): Vin driven positive above
AMR value
2. This input current only exists when the voltage at any of the input leads is driven negative. It is due to the
collector-base junction of the input PNP transistor becoming forward-biased and thereby acting as input
diode clamp. In addition to this diode action, there is NPN parasitic action on the IC chip. This transistor
action can cause the output voltages of the Op-amps to go to the VCC voltage level (or to ground for a large
overdrive) for the time during which an input is driven negative.
This is not destructive and normal output is restored for input voltages above -0.3 V.
3. The junction base/substrate of the input PNP transistor polarized in reverse must be protected by a resistor
in series with the inputs to limit the input current to 400 µA max (R = (Vin - 36 V)/400 µA).
