Product details
Overview
OP491GSZ from Analog Devices is a quad micropower rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier optimized for single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 12 V, delivering 3 MHz gain bandwidth, 0.5 V/μs slew rate, and 700 μV max offset voltage over –40°C to +125°C - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered instrumentation and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the OP491GSZ datasheet, OP491GSZ pinout, OP491GSZ application, or OP491GSZ equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (14-lead SOIC), confirmed rail-to-rail I/O behavior, validated low-power performance (350 μA/amp typical), exact temperature-range compliance, and real-world alternative part comparisons - all grounded in Rev. E specification data.
Technical Context
The OP491GSZ employs a dual-input-stage architecture (PNP/NPN) that enables true rail-to-rail common-mode input range - extending 10 V beyond either supply without phase reversal or latch-up - while maintaining stable bias current switching across the full input span. Its output stage uses collector-connected PNP/NPN transistors to achieve millivolt-level saturation, enabling rail-to-rail swing into 2 kΩ loads.
This architecture supports multistage single-supply filter design and high signal-to-noise ratio preservation in low-voltage systems. The device is fabricated on Analog Devices' CBCMOS process and specified across the extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) with guaranteed operation on +3 V, ±5 V, or +5 V supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 12 V single supply; also operates on ±5 V - supports direct integration into 3 V battery systems and legacy 5 V industrial rails. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 3 MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffer or 2nd-order active filters up to ~300 kHz with adequate phase margin. |
| Slew Rate | 0.5 V/μs (±5 V supply) - sufficient for 12-bit DAC output amplification at ≤100 kHz full-scale transitions. |
| Input Offset Voltage | 700 μV max (–40°C to +125°C) - ensures ≤0.07% error in 1 V full-scale sensor signal paths without trimming. |
| Supply Current per Amplifier | 350 μA typical at 3 V - allows four-channel signal conditioning in sub-1.5 mA total system budget. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 10 mV of rails (100 kΩ load) - preserves dynamic range in 3 V ADC interfaces with no level-shifting circuitry. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | 0 V to VS (3 V/5 V) or –5 V to +5 V (±5 V) - accepts ground-referenced transducer outputs without external biasing. |
Pinout & Package

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2464IDR | Higher supply current (550 μA/amp), lower GBW (6.4 MHz), wider offset range (1.8 mV max), SOIC-14 package. | Optimized for higher-speed, lower-precision applications; lacks 10 V input overvoltage tolerance. | Choose when speed > power efficiency and industrial temp range is not required. |
| AD8604ARUZ | Lower offset (600 μV max), lower noise (22 nV/√Hz), higher supply current (1 mA/amp), TSSOP-14 package. | Targeted at precision sensor signal chains where noise dominates error budget; not rated for 125°C operation. | Choose when sub-mV offset and low noise outweigh micropower and extended temperature needs. |
Compared with TLV2464IDR and AD8604ARUZ, the OP491GSZ uniquely balances micropower consumption, extended temperature qualification, and robust input overvoltage protection - making it the only option among the three qualified for unattended 125°C industrial deployments with fault-tolerant analog front ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the OP491GSZ?
The OP491GSZ is fully specified and guaranteed over the extended industrial temperature range of –40°C to +125°C. This rating applies to all electrical parameters in the Rev. E datasheet, including offset voltage, supply current, and output swing. Operation beyond +125°C is not characterized and may result in parametric shift or reliability degradation.
Does the OP491GSZ support true rail-to-rail input with a 3 V supply?
Yes - the OP491GSZ guarantees rail-to-rail input common-mode range from 0 V to 3 V when operated on a +3 V single supply. Its unique dual-input-stage architecture (PNP/NPN) enables linear operation even when inputs are at GND or VS, with no phase reversal or increased bias current discontinuity.
Can the OP491GSZ be used as a comparator?
The OP491GSZ is not recommended for open-loop comparator operation due to lack of internal hysteresis and slow recovery from saturation. While its input stage tolerates overvoltage (up to VS + 10 V), sustained open-loop use risks excessive input current through the 5 kΩ series resistors and diodes - potentially degrading long-term reliability.
What is the short-circuit current limit for the OP491GSZ output?
The OP491GSZ output can sink or source ±8.75 mA continuously (typical) and up to ±13.5 mA peak under short-circuit conditions at 25°C. At –40°C to +125°C, the guaranteed minimum is ±6.0 mA. This current limiting is inherent to the output stage design and does not require external foldback circuitry.
Is the OP491GSZ pin-compatible with other quad op amps in SOIC-14 packages?
No - the OP491GSZ has a proprietary pinout optimized for low crosstalk and thermal symmetry. It is not pin-compatible with industry-standard quad op amps such as the LM324 or TL084. Layout reuse requires verification against Figure 3 (14-Lead Narrow-Body SOIC) in the Rev. E datasheet.
