Product details
Overview
OP490GSZ from Analog Devices is a low-voltage, micropower quad operational amplifier in 16-lead SOIC_W package, operating from single supply (1.6 V to 36 V) or dual supplies (±0.8 V to ±18 V), with input and output voltage ranges including ground, 80 μA maximum total supply current, and 1.0 mV maximum input offset voltage - used in battery-powered portable instruments and remote sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the OP490GSZ datasheet, OP490GSZ pinout, OP490GSZ application, or OP490GSZ equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail input/output capability in single-supply mode, ultra-low quiescent current per amplifier (<20 μA), high open-loop gain (≥400 V/mV), channel separation >120 dB, and compatibility with lithium-cell power sources (3 V nominal).
Technical Context
The OP490GSZ integrates four independent PNP-input op amps on a single die, each featuring active pull-down output stage enabling true zero-output swing with ≤500 μV low-level output voltage at 10 kΩ load, and input protection allowing ±20 V beyond supply rails. Its architecture supports stable operation with capacitive loads up to 650 pF and delivers ≥5 mA output drive per amplifier.
It achieves 20 kHz gain-bandwidth product and 5–12 V/ms slew rate while maintaining <60 nV/√Hz voltage noise density at 1 kHz and <0.07 pA/√Hz current noise density - optimized for precision, low-power DC and low-frequency AC signal amplification in space-constrained, energy-sensitive systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 1.6 V to 36 V single supply or ±0.8 V to ±18 V dual supply - enables direct interface with 3 V lithium cells and industrial 24 V rails without regulation. |
| Total Supply Current | 60–80 μA at ±15 V - allows continuous operation for hundreds of hours on a 1 Ah lithium cell. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 0.6–1.0 mV max at 25°C - ensures sub-millivolt DC error in precision sensor front-ends and DAC buffers. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 400–800 V/mV at ±15 V, RL = 100 kΩ - provides ≥112 dB loop gain for accurate closed-loop gain setting. |
| Output Swing (Single-Supply) | 0 V to 4.2 V at V+ = 5 V, RL = 2 kΩ - supports true zero-in/zero-out operation with active pull-down to ground. |
| CMRR / PSRR | 90–120 dB CMRR and 3.2–10 μV/V PSRR - minimizes error from common-mode shifts and supply ripple in noisy environments. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 20 kHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing, sensor filtering, and programmable-gain amplifier feedback loops up to ~10 kHz. |

| 11 | +IN C | Noninverting input of Amp C - maintains same input common-mode range and protection as other inputs. |
| 12 | OUT C | Amplifier C output - fully specified for 5 mA drive and low-VOL (≤500 μV) near ground. |
| 13 | V− | Negative supply rail - required for dual-supply operation; grounded in single-supply mode. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP484FSZ | Higher supply current (120 μA typ), wider GBWP (4.5 MHz), lower offset (125 μV max) - trades micropower for speed and precision. | Better suited for higher-frequency sensor interfaces (>100 kHz) but incompatible with ultra-low-power battery lifetime targets. | Select OP484FSZ only when bandwidth >100 kHz or offset <200 μV is mandatory; OP490GSZ remains optimal for sub-20 kHz, sub-100 μA applications. |
| AD8604ARUZ | Rail-to-rail I/O, 50 μA per amp (200 μA total), 8 MHz GBWP, 600 μV offset max - higher speed and lower offset, but 2.5× higher total current than OP490GSZ. | Preferred for mixed-signal SoC interfaces requiring fast settling, but not viable for multi-year battery operation. | Choose AD8604ARUZ for high-speed data acquisition where power budget allows ≥200 μA; OP490GSZ is superior for longevity-critical deployments. |
Compared with OP484FSZ and AD8604ARUZ, the OP490GSZ uniquely balances micropower operation (≤80 μA total), ground-sensing input, and rail-to-rail output in a single device - making it irreplaceable in applications demanding both multi-year battery life and true zero-reference signal processing.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OP490GSZ can drive stably?
The OP490GSZ is specified for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 650 pF under unity-gain conditions. This value is verified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed in Typical Performance Characteristic Figure 17 (small-signal transient response). Driving larger capacitive loads may cause peaking or oscillation unless compensated with series resistance or isolation techniques. For OP490GSZ-based ADC driver designs, this rating supports direct connection to most 12–16-bit SAR ADC input capacitors without added stability circuitry.
Does the OP490GSZ support true rail-to-rail output swing when powered from a 3.3 V single supply?
Yes, the OP490GSZ delivers rail-to-rail output swing down to within 100–500 μV of ground and up to within ~0.8 V of V+, as confirmed by VOL and VOH specifications in Table 1. At V+ = 3.3 V, typical VOH is ~2.5 V and VOL is ≤500 μV - meaning it reaches near-ground but not full V+. However, its active pull-down stage ensures functional zero-output capability with appropriate load conditions, making OP490GSZ suitable for 3.3 V logic-compatible analog interfaces where true ground-referenced output is required.
Can the OP490GSZ operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the OP490GSZ is explicitly rated for single-supply operation from 1.6 V to 36 V, as stated in the General Description and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections. At 1.8 V, it maintains functional input common-mode range (including ground) and delivers usable output swing (typically ~0.1 V to ~1.7 V), though open-loop gain and slew rate degrade moderately. This capability makes OP490GSZ viable for emerging ultra-low-voltage sensor nodes powered by coin cells or energy-harvesting sources, where other quad op amps fail to start or behave predictably.
How does the input protection scheme of the OP490GSZ work, and what overvoltage levels does it tolerate?
The OP490GSZ uses a PNP input stage with integrated series protection resistors on both inverting and noninverting inputs, enabling survival of input voltages up to ±20 V beyond either supply rail - per Absolute Maximum Ratings Table 3. This architecture eliminates need for external clamping diodes in most industrial and automotive sensor interfaces. The protection operates without latch-up or parametric shift, preserving OP490GSZ functionality even after repeated exposure to transient overvoltages common in field-deployed equipment.
Is the OP490GSZ pin-compatible with other quad op amps in SOIC-16 packages, such as the LM324 or TLV2464?
No, the OP490GSZ is not pin-compatible with LM324 or TLV2464. While all three use 16-lead SOIC packages, OP490GSZ follows industry-standard quad op amp pinout (OUT A, –IN A, +IN A, V+, +IN B, –IN B, NC, OUT B, –IN C, NC, +IN C, OUT C, V−, +IN D, –IN D, OUT D), whereas LM324 uses different pin assignments (e.g., V− on Pin 4, V+ on Pin 8) and TLV2464 places V− on Pin 4 and V+ on Pin 13. Direct substitution would require PCB redesign. Always verify pin mapping using the Functional Block Diagrams in the OP490 datasheet before replacement.
