Does anyone know if an apple is a good substitute for oranges or bananas??
The lousy old LM324 has a couple of benefits that the slightly better LS404 hasn't.
The TLC274 has a couple of benefits that the LM324 hasn't.
The LM324 has a couple of benefits that the TLC274 hasn't.
The LS404 has a couple of benefits that the LM324 hasn't.
You see, it depends on what is important in the circuit and you forgot to show the circuit.
iam working in repair electronic card and i have ls404 and tlc274 in the card
iam asking is LM324 a good substitute for (ls404 and tlc274 ) because i don't have these ICs and I think one of them is fail so can I replace them by lm324
can any one tell me how can I detect if that ICs (ls404 and tlc274 ) are fail or not ?
If they are being used as plain old amplifiers, then the + & - inputs DC voltages should be near equal at all times and usually at half the supply voltage (Or zero if using dual supplies). Now if the + is higher than the - by more than say apx 10mV (You'll find this in the datasheet as the max input offset voltage) and the output is NOT near the supply (+) rail, then the opamp is defective. If it is near the (+) supply rail, then something else in the circuit is bad or the circuit is set up as a comparator. If the + is lower than the - by more than say apx 10mV (You'll find this in the datasheet as the max input offset voltage) and the output is NOT near the supply (-) rail, then the opamp is defective.
