74 is different compared to 74?
Does that make life better or worse?
TL074 vs.TL084?
Hello!
It seems that many people ask that the difference between TL074 and TL084.
In my opinion, They're all general-purpose operational amplifiers with JFET input. TL074 has a reduced input noise density of 18nV/Hz at 1kHz, compared to TL074. Other aspects are essentially the same, and if noise requirements aren't high, they can be immediately replaced.
But, this opinion I got referred to the comparison article below which I have seen before.
Welcome for more discussions.
All the best !

@kakwu Generally speaking the older the opamp design, the less gain you can get out of it before it starts to have a 'sound'. Even with modern opamps the Gain Bandwidth Product they have makes it dicey asking for more than 20dB. With these older designs you'll want to run less than that if you are using them for audio purposes. If you do that you won't hear any differences between them at all other than noise. |
Take a look at these, depending on your application. LT1364 - Dual and Quad 70MHz, 1000V/µs Op Amps (mouser.com) |
Forgot the TLO74/84 was a quad, the AD827’s don’t come as quad, but this quad OPA2604 is still better. A little colored though just like the TL’s big warmish bass. https://www.digikey.com/htmldatasheets/production/3362271/0/0/1/opa2604.html
And yes as fiesta say this LT1365 would be the better choice, for being uncolored. Andy https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/13645fa.pdf |
