Product details
Overview
OP181GS-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a single-channel, ultralow-power, rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for battery-powered instrumentation and safety monitoring systems. It delivers 4 µA max supply current per amplifier, operates from 2.7 V to 12 V single supply (or ±1.35 V to ±6 V dual), achieves ±4.925 V output swing at ±5 V supply, features 1.5 mV max offset voltage, and supports –40°C to +85°C extended industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the OP181GS-REEL7 datasheet, OP181GS-REEL7 pinout, OP181GS-REEL7 application, or OP181GS-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SOIC-8 package details, rail-to-rail output behavior under load, saturation recovery time (65–120 µs), and validated alternatives for low-power comparator and transducer interface use cases.
Technical Context
The OP181GS-REEL7 employs a precision bipolar input stage with PNP differential pair enabling rail-to-ground common-mode input range and nanoamp-level input bias current (3–10 nA). Its CMOS-based output stage achieves millivolt-level rail-to-rail swing while maintaining sub-4 µA quiescent current even when output is saturated at either supply rail.
It exhibits no phase reversal under overvoltage conditions, supports fast saturation recovery (65 µs @ +3 V, 120 µs @ ±5 V), and delivers 95–105 kHz gain bandwidth product with 70–75° phase margin - enabling stable unity-gain operation with capacitive loads up to 10 nF without external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current/Amplifier | 4 µA max - enables multi-year battery life in remote sensors and portable medical devices. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | ±4.925 V @ ±5 V supply - preserves full dynamic range in low-voltage signal chains. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1.5 mV max - ensures <1% error in 12-bit ADC front-ends with 3 V reference. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 105 kHz - supports DC–10 kHz signal conditioning for strain gages and thermistors. |
| Saturation Recovery Time | 65 µs @ +3 V - allows reliable use as low-power comparator in safety-critical threshold detection. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 nA max - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance sensor bridges (>1 MΩ). |
| Common-Mode Range | 0 V to 4 V @ +5 V supply - enables direct interfacing with ground-referenced transducers. |
Pinout & Package
OP181GS-REEL7 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) surface-mount package with standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint (4.9 mm × 3.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch). Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering follows counterclockwise convention from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Null (NC) | No internal connection - must be left unconnected or tied to GND for mechanical stability. |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–IN) | Differential input node; accepts signals within 0 V to 4 V common-mode range at +5 V supply. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input (+IN) | Differential input node; supports same common-mode range as Pin 2. |
| 4 | Negative Supply (V–) | Ground or negative rail connection; required for proper biasing of input stage. |
| 5 | Output (OUT) | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ±3.5 mA; swings to within 25 mV of rails. |
| 6 | Positive Supply (V+) | +2.7 V to +12 V or ±1.35 V to ±6 V supply input; decoupling capacitor recommended. |
| 7 | Null (NC) | No internal connection - must remain unconnected. |
| 8 | Null (NC) | No internal connection - must remain unconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Prevents catastrophic output inversion during input overvoltage - critical for safety monitoring loops. |
| Sub-4 µA supply current at rail saturation | Enables true micropower comparator operation without current spike on output saturation. |
| Input common-mode range to ground | Supports direct connection of ground-referenced sensors (e.g., half-bridge strain gages) without level-shifting. |
| 75° phase margin with 10 nF capacitive load | Permits direct driving of bypass caps or long PCB traces without external compensation network. |
| Offset voltage nulling terminals | Two dedicated pins allow trimming to <0.1 mV for precision instrumentation applications. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Instrumentation | Safety Monitoring Systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX40002DANA+ | Lower supply current (1.1 µA), but only 100 kHz GBW and no rail-to-rail input; 5-pin SOT23 package. | Best for ultra-long-life battery apps where bandwidth <10 kHz suffices and input common-mode range >0.5 V is acceptable. | Select MAX40002DANA+ only if supply current reduction outweighs need for rail-to-rail input and higher precision. |
| TLV8511IDBVR | Higher supply current (28 µA), rail-to-rail input/output, 1 MHz GBW, SO-8 package; lower offset (0.75 mV typ). | Suitable for higher-bandwidth sensor interfaces requiring >100 kHz response, but reduces battery life by 7× vs. OP181GS-REEL7. | Choose TLV8511IDBVR when system requires wider bandwidth or tighter offset spec, accepting higher power cost. |
Compared with MAX40002DANA+, OP181GS-REEL7 offers rail-to-rail input capability and superior offset voltage performance; compared with TLV8511IDBVR, it reduces quiescent current by 93% - making it optimal for multi-year battery deployments where bandwidth ≤105 kHz is sufficient.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for OP181GS-REEL7?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OP181GS-REEL7 is +16 V for single-supply operation. However, the device is specified for reliable operation from +2.7 V to +12 V (single supply) or ±1.35 V to ±6 V (dual supply). Exceeding +12 V or ±6 V may cause parametric degradation or permanent damage, and operation above +16 V violates absolute maximum ratings.
Does OP181GS-REEL7 support rail-to-rail input, or only rail-to-rail output?
OP181GS-REEL7 supports rail-to-rail *output* swing but has a limited input common-mode voltage range: 0 V to 1 V below the positive supply (e.g., 0 V to +4 V at +5 V supply). It does not support true rail-to-rail input - the input cannot exceed V+ or go below V– by more than 0.6 V without risking phase reversal or ESD diode conduction.
Can OP181GS-REEL7 be used as a comparator, and what is its typical propagation delay?
Yes, OP181GS-REEL7 is explicitly qualified for comparator use due to no phase reversal and fast saturation recovery (65 µs @ +3 V). Propagation delay is not directly specified, but typical overdrive recovery time is 65–120 µs depending on supply voltage - making it suitable for low-speed threshold detection (<10 kHz), not high-speed digital logic replacement.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OP181GS-REEL7 SOIC-8 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) for OP181GS-REEL7 in the SOIC-8 (S) package is 158°C/W, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board mounting; actual θJA will vary with PCB copper area and airflow.
Is there an offset voltage nulling option on OP181GS-REEL7, and how is it implemented?
Yes, OP181GS-REEL7 provides two dedicated offset null pins (Pins 1 and 8, both NC in standard configuration but internally connected to input stage nulling nodes). A 20 kΩ potentiometer with wiper tied to V– can reduce offset voltage to <0.1 mV. This feature is documented in the Theory of Operation section of the datasheet and applies specifically to the OP181GS-REEL7 variant.
