Product details
Overview
OP481GRU-REEL from Analog Devices is a quad ultralow power rail-to-rail output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 12 V, featuring 4 μA/amplifier max supply current, 1.5 mV max offset voltage, and rail-to-rail output swing within 25 mV of either rail at 100 kΩ load - deployed in battery-powered instrumentation and remote sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the OP481GRU-REEL datasheet, OP481GRU-REEL pinout, OP481GRU-REEL application, or OP481GRU-REEL equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower consumption under load, guaranteed rail-to-rail output performance at 3 V, no phase reversal behavior, and compatibility with extended industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) designs.
Technical Context
The OP481GRU-REEL employs a precision bipolar input stage with PNP transistors enabling input common-mode range down to ground, and a CMOS common-source output stage delivering millivolt-level rail-to-rail swing while maintaining sub-4 μA quiescent current even when saturated at supply rails. Its CBCMOS fabrication ensures low noise (75 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz) and stable operation with capacitive loads up to 10 nF.
It supports comparator use via fast saturation recovery (65–120 μs depending on supply), operates across ±5 V, +5 V, and +3 V supplies, and exhibits 95–105 kHz gain bandwidth product with 70–75° phase margin - all specified over −40°C to +85°C with no phase reversal under overvoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Current / Amplifier | 4 μA max - enables multi-year battery life in always-on remote sensors. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 1.5 mV max at 25°C - ensures <±0.5% error in 3 V full-scale strain gage amplifiers. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | 25 mV above GND / 75 mV below V+ at 100 kΩ - preserves dynamic range in 3 V microcontroller ADC interfaces. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 100 kHz at 5 V - supports DC–10 kHz signal conditioning for vibration or temperature monitoring. |
| Saturation Recovery Time | 65 μs at 3 V - allows reliable use as low-power window comparator in safety monitoring. |
| Operating Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded systems without derating. |
| Input Bias Current | 10 nA max - minimizes voltage error across high-impedance pH or thermistor sensor networks. |
Pinout & Package
OP481GRU-REEL is packaged in a 14-lead TSSOP (RU suffix), 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, exposed pad not electrically connected. Pinout matches Figure 4 in Rev. D datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - drives low-impedance loads directly; rail-to-rail swing supports 3 V ADC reference buffering. |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input A - accepts differential signals down to GND; protected against phase reversal by internal ESD diodes. |
| 3 | +IN A | Noninverting input A - used for unity-gain buffer or high-Z sensor interface; common-mode range includes GND. |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply - accepts 2.7–12 V single supply or +5 V in dual-supply mode; PSRR >76 dB suppresses supply ripple. |
| 5 | +IN B | Noninverting input B - independent channel for dual-sensor readout or feedback path in current monitor. |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input B - configured with external resistors for precision gain setting in low-voltage strain gage amps. |
| 7 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - shares same rail-to-rail drive capability as OUT A; isolated from other channels per Figure 3/4. |
| 8 | OUT D | Amplifier D output - fourth independent output; enables 4-channel sensor front-end without additional ICs. |
| 9 | –IN D | Inverting input D - supports active filtering or differential-to-single-ended conversion in portable medical devices. |
| 10 | +IN D | Noninverting input D - biasable to mid-supply for single-supply AC-coupled applications using micropower reference generator. |
| 11 | V– | Negative supply / GND - connects to system ground in single-supply mode; enables true low-side current sensing. |
| 12 | +IN C | Noninverting input C - used in window comparator configurations with A/B/D for fault detection logic. |
| 13 | –IN C | Inverting input C - pairs with +IN C for precision threshold setting in battery voltage monitors. |
| 14 | OUT C | Amplifier C output - delivers rail-to-rail output for third independent signal path; matched performance to other channels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Guaranteed under input overvoltage to −0.6 V below V– - eliminates false triggering in safety-critical sensor interfaces. |
| Micropower operation at rail saturation | Supply current remains ≤4 μA even when output driven to V+ or GND - enables comparator use without current penalty. |
| Input common-mode range to GND | Operates with inputs at 0 V in single-supply mode - supports direct connection to shunt-based current sense or thermocouple cold-junction compensation. |
| Rail-to-rail output with millivolt headroom | Swings to within 25 mV of GND and 75 mV of V+ at 100 kΩ - maximizes usable ADC input range in 3 V systems. |
| Low input bias current drift | ΔIB/ΔT = 20 pA/°C - maintains accuracy across industrial temperature range without recalibration in field-deployed equipment. |
Applications
| Battery-Powered Instrumentation | Safety Monitoring |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2464IPW | Higher supply current (23 μA/amplifier), wider GBW (6.4 MHz), but no guaranteed rail-to-rail input. | Not suitable for GND-referenced sensor inputs or micropower battery life targets. | Select only if bandwidth >100 kHz and supply current >20 μA are acceptable. |
| MAX4475ASA+ | Lower offset (100 μV typ), but higher supply current (15 μA), limited to 5.5 V max supply. | Cannot replace OP481GRU-REEL in 12 V systems or where sub-5 μA total quiescent current is mandatory. | Prefer for precision DC-coupled applications where offset dominates, not micropower. |
Compared with TLV2464IPW and MAX4475ASA+, OP481GRU-REEL uniquely combines sub-5 μA supply current, rail-to-rail output, GND-referenced input, and −40°C to +85°C qualification - making it irreplaceable in ultra-low-power, single-supply, industrial-grade sensor nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for OP481GRU-REEL?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OP481GRU-REEL is 16 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 12 V for single-supply use. Operation at 12 V is fully characterized per datasheet Table 1–3, with supply current remaining ≤5 μA/amplifier across −40°C to +85°C. Exceeding 16 V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does OP481GRU-REEL support true rail-to-rail input?
No - OP481GRU-REEL features rail-to-rail *output* only. Its input common-mode voltage range extends to GND but stops 1 V below V+, as specified in the General Description and Input Common-Mode Voltage Range section. This allows direct interfacing with ground-referenced sensors but requires input signals to remain within VEE to (VCC − 1 V).
Can OP481GRU-REEL be used as a comparator?
Yes - OP481GRU-REEL is explicitly qualified for comparator use due to its fast saturation recovery time (65 μs at 3 V), no phase reversal, and stable operation when driven hard to the rails. Propagation delay is 250 μs, and it sinks/sources current at the rail - confirmed in Applications and Theory of Operation sections.
What is the thermal resistance θJA for OP481GRU-REEL?
For OP481GRU-REEL in its 14-lead TSSOP (RU) package, θJA is 240°C/W per Table 5. This value assumes worst-case PCB mounting per JEDEC standards. Junction-to-case (θJC) is 43°C/W. At 4 μA × 4 channels × 5 V = 80 μW total dissipation, self-heating is negligible (<0.02°C) under typical conditions.
Is OP481GRU-REEL pin-compatible with OP482 or OP484 variants?
No - OP481GRU-REEL is not pin-compatible with OP482 or OP484. The OP481 is a quad amplifier in 14-lead TSSOP/SOIC; OP482 is a dual amplifier in 8-lead packages, and OP484 is a quad with different pinout (e.g., V– on Pin 11 vs. Pin 4 in OP481). Substitution requires PCB redesign.
