Product details
Overview
OA2NP22Q from STMicroelectronics is a dual-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 draws just 580 nA per channel at 1.8 V, operates from 1.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers 8 kHz gain bandwidth, supports –40 °C to +85 °C industrial temperature range, and features 5 pA max input bias current - enabling accurate interfacing with high-impedance biosensors and piezoresistive elements.
For engineers reviewing the OA2NP22Q datasheet, OA2NP22Q pinout, OA2NP22Q application, or OA2NP22Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its sub-1 µA quiescent current, rail-to-rail swing at 1.5 V supply, low input offset drift (5 µV/°C), ESD robustness (2 kV HBM), and DFN8 2×2 mm package suitability for space-constrained health-monitoring PCBs.
Technical Context
The OA2NP22Q implements a CMOS input stage with complementary differential pairs, enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input voltage range (VCC– – 0.1 V to VCC+ + 0.1 V) and output swing within 40 mV of either rail under 100 kΩ load. Its unity-gain-stable architecture uses internal compensation to ensure phase margin ≥60° across 1.5–5.5 V supply and capacitive loads up to 60 pF.
Designed for DC-coupled, low-frequency (<10 kHz) precision amplification, it avoids phase reversal under overdrive and supports fast desaturation recovery (30 µs) - critical for pulse oximetry front-ends and ECG lead-off detection circuits where transient fidelity and long-term DC stability are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply current per channel | 580 nA typ. at 1.8 V - enables >10-year operation on 220 mAh coin cell in always-on sensing nodes |
| Input bias current | 5 pA max at 25 °C - preserves signal integrity when amplifying from >1 GΩ electrode impedances |
| Gain bandwidth product | 8 kHz typ. - sufficient for DC–100 Hz biomedical waveforms (ECG, PPG, EMG) with stable closed-loop gain |
| Input offset voltage | ±3.4 mV max over –40 to +85 °C - ensures <0.5% error in 0.5 V full-scale sensor outputs without trimming |
| Rail-to-rail I/O | VIN = VCC– – 0.1 V to VCC+ + 0.1 V; VOUT = VCC– + 40 mV to VCC+ – 40 mV - maximizes dynamic range at 1.5 V supply |
| ESD rating | 2 kV HBM - withstands handling and board-level transients in clinical-grade wearable assembly |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for core body-worn and ambient-sensing environments |
Pinout & Package
OA2NP22Q is housed in a thermally enhanced DFN8 2×2 mm package with exposed thermal pad (EP), compatible with standard reflow profiles and offering 117 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; the EP must be soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VCC+) | Positive supply | Accepts 1.5–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 2 mm for stability |
| 2 (IN1–) | Inverting input, Channel 1 | High-impedance CMOS node; sensitive to layout-induced leakage; guard ring recommended |
| 3 (IN1+) | Non-inverting input, Channel 1 | Matches IN1– characteristics; used for reference-driven instrumentation topologies |
| 4 (OUT1) | Output, Channel 1 | Rail-to-rail swing; drive capability limited to ±4 mA; isolate from capacitive loads >60 pF |
| 5 (OUT2) | Output, Channel 2 | Independent output; shares supply rails; avoid shared feedback paths to prevent crosstalk |
| 6 (IN2+) | Non-inverting input, Channel 2 | Electrically isolated from Channel 1 inputs; supports dual-sensor synchronous acquisition |
| 7 (IN2–) | Inverting input, Channel 2 | Matched to IN2+; enable differential pair configurations for noise rejection |
| 8 (VCC–) | Negative supply / Ground | Return path for both channels; connect EP directly to this plane for lowest noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 580 nA/channel at 1.8 V enables multi-year battery life in continuous-sensing wearables |

| Low input bias current | 5 pA max preserves accuracy with high-Z sensors (e.g., dry electrodes, pH probes) |
| Fast desaturation recovery | 30 µs return from rail saturation - prevents baseline shift in pulse-based physiological measurements |
| EMI robustness | 88 dB rejection at 900 MHz - maintains signal integrity near Bluetooth/Wi-Fi radios in compact wearables |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLC2272CDR | Higher supply current (220 µA/ch), wider supply range (2.2–16 V), higher GBP (2.2 MHz) | Suitable for higher-speed industrial sensors but incompatible with coin-cell lifetime targets | Select only if >100 kHz bandwidth or >5 V supply is required; not drop-in for OA2NP22Q's ultra-low-power use cases |
| MAX44260ASA+ | Lower supply current (350 nA/ch), lower input bias (0.1 pA), but narrower supply (1.8–5.5 V) and no specified rail-to-rail output at 1.8 V | Better for femtoampere-level electrochemical sensors, but requires validation of output swing at minimum voltage | Prefer for ultra-high-impedance applications where bias current dominates error; verify output compliance at 1.5 V before adoption |
Compared with TLC2272CDR and MAX44260ASA+, OA2NP22Q uniquely balances sub-µA quiescent current, guaranteed rail-to-rail operation down to 1.5 V, and industrial temperature qualification - making it the only choice for long-life, single-supply, body-worn biosignal amplifiers.

FAQ
Can OA2NP22Q operate reliably from a 1.5 V alkaline battery?
Yes. The OA2NP22Q is fully specified from 1.5 V to 5.5 V supply, with rail-to-rail input/output and stable 8 kHz gain bandwidth confirmed at 1.5 V in the datasheet's electrical characteristics tables. Its 580 nA typical supply current ensures minimal voltage droop during extended operation.
Is the exposed pad (EP) on the DFN8 package electrically connected?
Yes - the exposed pad is internally connected to VCC– (pin 8). It must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to ensure thermal dissipation (RthJA = 117 °C/W), reduce noise coupling, and maintain ESD robustness. Floating or unconnected EP degrades performance and reliability.
Does OA2NP22Q support comparator operation?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly covers "Using the OA1NP, OA2NP, OA4NP series in comparator mode" (Section 4.9), confirming safe open-loop operation with fast desaturation (30 µs) and no phase reversal. However, dedicated comparators offer faster response; use OA2NP22Q only when dual-function (amplifier/comparator) is needed in space-constrained designs.
What is the maximum capacitive load the output can drive without instability?
The OA2NP22Q remains stable with ≤60 pF capacitive load when using unity-gain configuration and proper PCB layout. For larger loads (e.g., ADC input capacitance), a series isolation resistor (RISO ≥1 kΩ) between output and load is required - values are tabulated in Figure 31 of the datasheet based on load capacitance.
