Product details
Overview
OA1NP22C from STMicroelectronics is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power sensor signal conditioning in battery-powered wearable and medical devices. It delivers 580 nA typical supply current at 1.8 V, 8 kHz gain bandwidth, ±VCC differential input voltage tolerance, and operates across 1.5–5.5 V supply range with –40 °C to +85 °C industrial temperature rating.
For engineers reviewing the OA1NP22C datasheet, OA1NP22C pinout, OA1NP22C application, or OA1NP22C equivalent, this op amp is selected for high-impedance sensor interfaces requiring sub-1 µA quiescent current, rail-to-rail swing near coin-cell voltages, ESD-hardened (2 kV HBM) operation, and long-term offset stability in fitness monitors and point-of-care diagnostics.
Technical Context
The OA1NP22C employs a CMOS input stage enabling 5 pA max input bias current and rail-to-rail common-mode input range (VCC– – 0.1 V to VCC+ + 0.1 V), supporting direct interfacing with resistive and capacitive sensors without level-shifting. Its unity-gain-stable architecture achieves 60° phase margin and 10 dB gain margin with 60 pF capacitive load.
Designed for low-voltage precision, it maintains 65–85 dB CMRR over 0–1.8 V common-mode range at 1.8 V supply and exhibits <5 µV/°C input offset drift - critical for unattended multi-day physiological measurements where thermal gradients induce minimal baseline shift.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply current | 580 nA typ. at 1.8 V - enables >42-year coin-cell lifetime in always-on biosensor front-ends |
| Gain bandwidth product | 8 kHz typ. - sufficient for DC–100 Hz bio-signal amplification (ECG, PPG, EMG) with stable closed-loop response |
| Input bias current | 5 pA max at 25 °C - preserves signal integrity from high-Z electrodes (>100 MΩ skin contact impedance) |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | VIN = VCC– – 0.1 V to VCC+ + 0.1 V; VOUT swings within 40 mV of rails - maximizes dynamic range on 1.8 V supply |
| Input offset voltage | ±3.4 mV max over –40 to +85 °C - ensures <0.5% gain error in 100× instrumentation amplifier configurations |
| ESD tolerance | 2 kV HBM - protects against handling-induced transients during PCB assembly and field deployment |
| Operating voltage | 1.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to CR2032 (3.0 V), Li-SOCl₂ (3.6 V), or regulated 1.8 V/3.3 V rails |
Pinout & Package
OA1NP22C is housed in SC70-5 package (2.0 mm × 1.25 mm, 0.65 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained wearables. The exposed pad is not present in SC70-5; thermal dissipation relies on PCB copper area under the body.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting input (–) | Accepts feedback network or sensor return path; high-impedance node (5 pA bias) minimizes loading on passive sensors |
| 2 | Non-inverting input (+) | Connects directly to high-Z sensor output (e.g., thermistor divider, pH electrode); rail-to-rail common-mode range avoids clipping |
| 3 | Ground (VCC–) | Reference for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling into sensitive inputs |
| 4 | Output | Drives ADC input or next-stage filter; 40 mV rail headroom enables full-scale digitization with 12-bit+ SAR ADCs |
| 5 | Supply (VCC+) | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; internal regulation not required - simplifies power tree in energy-harvesting systems |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 580 nA typ. per channel at 1.8 V - extends CR2032 battery life beyond 42 years in sleep-mode sensor nodes |
| Rail-to-rail input/output | VIN and VOUT operate within 100 mV of supply rails - preserves >95% of available voltage headroom at 1.8 V |
| High ESD robustness | 2 kV HBM - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in wearable enclosures with user-accessible connectors |
| Low input offset drift | 5 µV/°C max - limits temperature-induced baseline walk to <0.5 mV over 85 °C ambient range |
| Unity-gain stability | Stable with 60 pF capacitive load - supports direct driving of ADC input capacitance without isolation resistor |
Applications
| Wearable Heart Rate Monitor | Fitness Band Bio-Impedance Sensor |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC721CPW | Higher supply current (650 nA min), wider supply range (1.8–5.5 V), but only 1.5 kHz GBP and no guaranteed rail-to-rail output swing | Limited to slower sensor types (e.g., temperature) due to lower bandwidth; requires external rail clamping for full-range output | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs bandwidth and rail-swing requirements in non-medical consumer wearables |
| MAX40007AUT+ | Lower input bias (0.1 pA), higher GBP (150 kHz), but 1.7 µA supply current - 3× higher than OA1NP22C | Suitable for high-speed biosensors (e.g., neural spike detection), but reduces CR2032 lifetime from 42 to <14 years | Choose only when >10 kHz signal bandwidth is mandatory and battery life is secondary to fidelity |
Compared with TLC721CPW and MAX40007AUT+, OA1NP22C uniquely balances nanopower operation (580 nA), usable bandwidth (8 kHz), and true rail-to-rail swing - making it the only option meeting all three constraints for multi-year wearable medical sensors.

FAQ
Can OA1NP22C drive an ADC input directly without an external buffer?
Yes. With 60° phase margin and unity-gain stability up to 60 pF capacitive load, OA1NP22C can directly drive typical SAR ADC input capacitances (5–20 pF) without oscillation or settling errors. Its 40 mV output headroom ensures full-scale accuracy when paired with 12-bit or 14-bit converters operating from the same 1.8 V rail.
What is the maximum source/sink current capability of OA1NP22C?
At 1.8 V supply, OA1NP22C delivers 4 mA sink and 4 mA source current (min) into 100 kΩ load while maintaining rail-to-rail output swing. This supports driving moderate loads like RC anti-aliasing filters or LED indicators in low-duty-cycle wearable subsystems without external transistors.
How does OA1NP22C perform in comparator mode?
The datasheet confirms reliable comparator operation with 30 µs overload recovery time and no phase reversal. When used open-loop, its 8 kHz GBP limits response to ~100 µs for large-slew transitions, making it suitable for slow threshold-detection tasks (e.g., battery voltage monitoring) but not high-speed zero-crossing detection.
Is the SC70-5 package of OA1NP22C compatible with standard reflow profiles?
Yes. The SC70-5 package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 60 s above 217 °C). No pre-bake is required, simplifying SMT assembly for high-volume wearable manufacturing.
