Product details
Overview
INA1620RTWR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, high-fidelity audio operational amplifier with integrated thin-film resistor pairs and on-chip EMI filters. It delivers ultra-low THD+N (–119 dB at 1 kHz into 32 Ω), 2.8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and ±18 V dual-supply operation - enabling high-resolution headphone driver and professional audio line-stage designs.
For engineers reviewing the INA1620RTWR datasheet, INA1620RTWR pinout, INA1620RTWR application, or INA1620RTWR equivalent, key selection criteria include matched resistor pair tolerance (0.004% typ), shutdown current (5 µA/ch), capacitive-load drive capability (>600 pF), and channel separation (140 dB at 1 kHz) in the 24-pin WQFN package.
Technical Context
The INA1620RTWR integrates two bipolar-input op-amps with four independent 1-kΩ thin-film resistor pairs (R1–R4), each with center-tap terminals (e.g., R1A/R1B/R1C), enabling precision instrumentation, gain-setting, and filter configurations without external matching. Its single-gain-stage architecture achieves 136 dB open-loop gain into 600 Ω while maintaining 10 V/μs slew rate and 32 MHz GBW at G = +1000.
EMI filtering is implemented per input pin (IN+ A/B, IN− A/B) with corner frequency ≥500 MHz, and the enable circuit uses ground-referenced logic thresholds (VIH = 0.82 V, VIL = 0.78 V) to minimize pop-and-click during shutdown transitions - critical for consumer audio interfaces.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| THD+N | –119 dB at 1 kHz, 150 mW into 32 Ω - enables distortion-free headphone output at full volume |
| Input Voltage Noise | 2.8 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves signal integrity in low-level microphone preamp or DAC output stages |
| Resistor Matching | 0.004% typical (RxA/RxB/RxC per pair) - supports precision differential amplifiers and active filters without trimming |
| Supply Range | ±2 V to ±18 V - accommodates both portable (±5 V) and studio-grade (±15 V) audio rails |
| Channel Separation | 140 dB at 1 kHz - prevents crosstalk in stereo summing or dual-mono monitoring applications |

Pinout & Package
INA1620RTWR is housed in a 4.00 mm × 4.00 mm, 24-pin WQFN package with exposed thermal pad connected to VEE (negative supply). The package supports high-density audio PCB layouts and efficient heat dissipation via thermal vias to internal ground planes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pin 3) | Reference ground | Provides stable reference for enable logic and compensation capacitor; required for PSRR optimization |
| EN (Pin 16) | Enable control input | Logic-high (≥0.82 V) enables both channels; logic-low disables with <5 µA quiescent draw per channel |
| IN+ A / IN− A (Pins 22/21) | Differential inputs, Channel A | EMI-filtered inputs support clean signal acquisition in noisy environments (e.g., USB audio interfaces) |
| OUT A / OUT B (Pins 17/14) | Amplifier outputs | Capable of driving 32 Ω loads at 150 mW; rail-to-rail swing limited to 1 V from rails at 600 Ω |
| R1A/R1B/R1C (Pins 24/23/1) | Resistor pair 1 terminals | Three-terminal 1-kΩ thin-film network - enables precision gain-of-2, difference amplification, or T-network filters |
| VCC / VEE (Pins 2/5) | Positive/negative supplies | Supports symmetrical ±18 V or asymmetrical single-supply operation (4–36 V total) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1612AIDR | Lower noise (1.1 nV/√Hz), no integrated resistors, no EMI filters, SOIC-8 package | Requires external matched resistors; unsuitable for space-constrained PCBs needing on-die precision networks | Select when ultimate noise performance is prioritized over integration and board area |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for the INA1620RTWR?
The INA1620RTWR supports a total supply voltage range of ±2 V to ±18 V (i.e., 4 V to 36 V total), with absolute maximum ratings up to ±20 V. Operation beyond ±18 V is not recommended, as electrical characteristics are only specified within the ±2 V to ±18 V range per the SBOS859B datasheet.
Does the INA1620RTWR require external compensation components?
No, the INA1620RTWR is internally compensated and stable for gains ≥1 (both inverting and non-inverting configurations). Its 32 MHz gain-bandwidth product and 10 V/μs slew rate are fully characterized without external compensation, though external feedback networks using its integrated resistors (e.g., R1A/R1B/R1C) are commonly employed for precision gain setting.
How does the EMI filtering on the INA1620RTWR function?
The INA1620RTWR incorporates on-die RC low-pass filters on each of its four input pins (IN+ A/B, IN− A/B), with a corner frequency ≥500 MHz. These filters attenuate RF interference before it reaches the amplifier core, eliminating the need for discrete feedthrough capacitors or ferrite beads in compact audio PCB layouts - verified by TI's C005 FFT plots showing –133.6 dBc second-harmonic suppression.
Can the integrated resistor pairs in the INA1620RTWR be used independently of the amplifiers?
Yes - the four 1-kΩ thin-film resistor pairs (R1–R4) operate independently of the amplifier cores. Their terminals (e.g., R1A/R1B/R1C) remain functional even when EN = low (shutdown mode), provided VCC and VEE are powered. However, voltages applied to resistor terminals must stay within (V−) − 0.5 V to (V+) + 0.5 V to avoid forward-biasing ESD diodes.
What thermal considerations apply to the INA1620RTWR's exposed thermal pad?
The exposed thermal pad on the INA1620RTWR (RTW package) must be soldered and connected to VEE (negative supply) via multiple thermal vias to an internal copper pour. TI specifies RθJB = 13.1 °C/W; failure to thermally connect the pad increases junction temperature significantly - potentially triggering thermal shutdown or degrading long-term reliability under sustained 150-mW/channel output conditions.
