Product details
Overview
ISL28230CRZ from Renesas Electronics is a dual-channel micropower, rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for precision DC-coupled sensing in battery-powered systems. It delivers 40 µV max input offset voltage, 150 nV/°C max offset drift, 20 µA per amplifier quiescent current, and 400 kHz gain-bandwidth - enabling high-gain current sense and temperature measurement in handheld medical devices and industrial sensors.
For engineers reviewing the ISL28230CRZ datasheet, ISL28230CRZ pinout, ISL28230CRZ application, or ISL28230CRZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed low-drift performance across –40°C to +125°C, DFN-8 package thermal efficiency (θJC = 12°C/W), and verified rail-to-rail operation on 1.8V–5.5V single supply or ±0.9V–±2.75V dual supply.
Technical Context
The ISL28230CRZ employs complementary CMOS input stages with parallel PMOS/NMOS transistors to achieve true rail-to-rail input swing beyond both supply rails by 100 mV, while maintaining high impedance at differential inputs up to 6.5 V. Its output stage uses common-source PMOS/NMOS devices delivering rail-to-rail swing within 50 mV of either rail into 10 kΩ.
With 150 dB open-loop gain and 1.1 µVP-P (0.01 Hz–10 Hz) input noise, the device supports stable high-gain DC amplification - demonstrated in reference designs achieving <100 nV input sensitivity - without requiring complex chopper or auto-zero architectures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Offset Voltage | ±40 µV max - ensures ≤400 mV total DC error at G=10⁴, critical for µV-level sensor signal conditioning |
| Offset Drift | 150 nV/°C max - limits temperature-induced output drift to ≤1.5 mV/°C at G=10⁴, enabling stable long-term measurements |
| Supply Current | 20 µA per amplifier typical - enables >1-year battery life in 2xAA-powered portable instrumentation |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 400 kHz - supports closed-loop gains up to ~1000 with usable phase margin in low-noise sensor front ends |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | Inputs swing to V− −100 mV / V+ +100 mV; outputs swing to V− +18 mV / V+ −20 mV @ 10 kΩ - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage systems |
| Input Bias Current | 250 pA max @ 0°C–70°C - preserves accuracy in high-impedance bridge and thermistor interfaces without guard traces |
| CMRR / PSRR | 110 dB / 105 dB min - rejects supply and common-mode noise in noisy industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
ISL28230CRZ is housed in an 8-lead 3 mm × 3 mm DFN package (RoHS-compliant, exposed thermal pad). The package provides low thermal resistance (θJC = 12°C/W) and requires connection of the paddle to V− for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | IN+_A | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A - accepts signals from V− −100 mV to V+ +100 mV with high Z (>10¹³ Ω) |
| 2 | IN−_A | Inverting input of Amplifier A - matched to IN+_A for low input offset; no internal clamp diodes |
| 3 | V− | Negative supply rail - connects to thermal pad; must be lowest potential node for ESD and thermal integrity |
| 4 | OUT_A | Output of Amplifier A - drives loads to within 18 mV of V− and 20 mV of V+ @ 10 kΩ |
| 5 | OUT_B | Output of Amplifier B - independent output stage; 15 mA short-circuit current limit protects against overload |
| 6 | IN−_B | Inverting input of Amplifier B - electrically isolated from Amplifier A; crosstalk <−140 dB @ 1 kHz |
| 7 | IN+_B | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B - identical specs to IN+_A; supports dual-sensor or differential pair topologies |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supplies both amplifiers; PSRR ≥105 dB rejects ripple in shared power domains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input | Enables direct interface to sensors operating near supply rails (e.g., 0–3.3 V thermocouple outputs) without level-shifting |
| Low 1/f noise corner | Sub-0.1 Hz corner frequency allows clean amplification of ultra-low-frequency signals (e.g., strain gauge drift monitoring) |
| High open-loop gain | 150 dB ensures <0.001% gain error at G=1000, eliminating need for external trimming in precision regulation loops |
| ESD robustness | 4 kV HBM rating protects against handling damage during PCB assembly and field service in unshielded enclosures |
| Thermal pad integration | Exposed paddle tied to V− reduces junction-to-board θJA to 53°C/W - critical for sustained operation in sealed medical housings |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture (chopper-stabilized); 0.02 µV/°C drift vs. ISL28230CRZ's 150 nV/°C; higher 350 µA supply current | Better for sub-µV drift-critical DC applications (e.g., laboratory calibrators); less suitable for multi-year battery life | Choose OPA2333AIDR when drift <0.1 µV/°C is mandatory and power budget allows ≥17× higher current |
| MCP6V82-E/SN | Auto-zero topology; 0.25 µV max offset; 1.6 µVP-P (0.1–10 Hz) noise; 60 µA supply current; SOIC-8 only | Higher noise and current than ISL28230CRZ; lacks DFN thermal performance for compact sealed enclosures | Choose MCP6V82-E/SN only if legacy SOIC-8 footprint compatibility is required and thermal constraints permit |
Compared with OPA2333AIDR and MCP6V82-E/SN, the ISL28230CRZ uniquely balances ultra-low drift, micropower operation (20 µA), and DFN thermal efficiency - making it the optimal choice for space-constrained, battery-operated precision analog front ends where long-term stability and low self-heating are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the ISL28230CRZ?
The ISL28230CRZ is a full-grade device rated for operation from –40°C to +125°C. This extended range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 20) and Recommended Operating Conditions (page 5) of the FN7623 Rev.8.00 datasheet, making it suitable for under-hood automotive sensors and industrial control modules where ambient temperatures exceed 85°C.
Does the ISL28230CRZ require external compensation capacitors for unity-gain stability?
No, the ISL28230CRZ is internally compensated and stable at unity gain (AV = +1) across all specified load conditions, including CL ≤ 3.7 pF and RL ≥ 1 kΩ. Figure 14 in the datasheet confirms stable gain response up to 10 MHz with 3.7 pF capacitive load, and the Electrical Specifications table lists "Gain Bandwidth Product" as 400 kHz without qualification - confirming inherent unity-gain stability for the ISL28230CRZ.
How is the thermal pad on the ISL28230CRZ DFN package connected?
The exposed thermal pad on the ISL28230CRZ DFN package (L8.3x3J outline) must be soldered to the PCB and electrically connected to the V− pin (Pin 3) for optimal thermal dissipation and ESD performance. This requirement is explicitly stated in the Pin Descriptions section (page 4) and Package Outline Drawing notes (page 17), where the pad is labeled "Paddle" and designated "Connect to most negative supply."
Can the ISL28230CRZ drive capacitive loads greater than 100 pF?
Yes - the ISL28230CRZ maintains stability with capacitive loads up to at least 824 pF, as validated in Figure 14 (Gain Response vs Load Capacitance) of the datasheet. At CL = 824 pF and AV = +1, the device exhibits no peaking and retains >45° phase margin, enabling direct interface to ADC input capacitors, long cables, or filtering networks without isolation resistors.
Is the ISL28230CRZ pin-compatible with other members of the ISL28x30 family?
No - the ISL28230CRZ (DFN-8) has a different pinout than the ISL28230CUZ (MSOP-8) and ISL28230CBZ (SOIC-8), despite sharing identical electrical specifications. Pin assignments differ across packages: for example, V+ is Pin 8 in DFN but Pin 8 in SOIC/MSOP is OUT_B. This is confirmed in the Pin Assignments diagrams (pages 3–4) and Package Outline Drawings (pages 13–19) of FN7623 Rev.8.00.
