Product details
Overview
OPA131UA/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, FET-input operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package, delivering 4MHz gain-bandwidth, 10V/µs slew rate, and ±750µV max input offset voltage across –40°C to +85°C. It operates from ±4.5V to ±18V supplies and drives capacitive loads robustly-ideal for precision sensor signal conditioning in industrial data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA131UA/2K5 datasheet, OPA131UA/2K5 pinout, OPA131UA/2K5 application, or OPA131UA/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50pA max input bias current, unity-gain stability, offset trim capability (pins 1 & 5), and SOIC-8 thermal resistance of 150°C/W-critical for low-drift, high-impedance front-end designs.
Technical Context
The OPA131UA/2K5 employs a JFET-input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current (5pA typ at 25°C) and high input impedance (10¹² Ω || 3pF common-mode). Its fully differential architecture ensures excellent channel independence and eliminates output phase reversal under common-mode overvoltage-a known failure mode in legacy FET op amps.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it achieves 4MHz bandwidth with 10V/µs slew rate and 0.01% settling in 2µs (10V step, CL = 100pF). The device supports rail-to-rail output swing within ±2.5V of supply rails and maintains >70dB CMRR from 10Hz to 100kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | 50pA max - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing without significant DC error |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±750µV max - ensures sub-millivolt DC accuracy in precision amplification stages |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 4MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with usable bandwidth up to 4MHz |
| Slew Rate | 10V/µs - allows clean amplification of fast 10V-step signals with minimal distortion |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±4.5V to ±18V - accommodates dual-supply industrial systems from ±5V to ±15V rails |
| Quiescent Current | 1.75mA max per amplifier - balances performance and power efficiency in battery-adjacent circuits |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
OPA131UA/2K5 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8, package drawing D) with 1.27mm pitch, 3.9mm width, and 1.75mm max height. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Trim (–) | Connects to wiper of external 100kΩ potentiometer for manual nulling of input offset voltage |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–In) | Differential input node; high-impedance JFET gate with 10¹² Ω || 3pF input impedance |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+In) | Differential input node; identical impedance and bias characteristics as Pin 2 |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail connection; must be bypassed with ≥10nF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 | Offset Trim (+) | Connects to one end of external 100kΩ potentiometer; forms adjustable voltage divider for offset correction |
| 6 | Output | Class-AB output stage capable of ±25mA short-circuit current and ±12.5V swing into 2kΩ load |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; requires local 10nF ceramic decoupling for stability |
| 8 | No Connection (NC) | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no external tie or pull-up/down |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-input architecture | 5pA typical input bias current at 25°C enables direct interfacing with high-Z sources like piezoelectric sensors or pH electrodes |
| Offset voltage trim pins | Pins 1 and 5 support external 100kΩ potentiometer for system-level offset calibration-±20mV typical trim range |
| No phase reversal | Guaranteed immunity to output polarity inversion when input common-mode voltage exceeds rails-critical for voltage-follower stability |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable operation with ≥100pF load capacitance without external compensation-reduces layout sensitivity in PCB routing |
| Unity-gain stable | Internally compensated for G ≥ 1; eliminates need for external feedback compensation components in buffer or gain-of-one configurations |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FET-input operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TL071CP | Higher input bias current (30pA typ vs 5pA), wider offset voltage spread (±10mV max), no offset trim pins | Limited suitability for <100pA current-sensing; no provision for system-level offset calibration | Choose TL071CP only if cost is primary constraint and ±10mV VOS is acceptable in non-critical AC-coupled paths |
| OPA140AIDBVR | Lower input bias current (0.3pA typ), lower noise (5.1nV/√Hz), rail-to-rail output, but higher quiescent current (1.8mA vs 1.75mA) | Better for ultra-low-noise, high-resolution data loggers; not pin-compatible-requires PCB redesign | Choose OPA140AIDBVR when sub-10nV/√Hz noise and picoampere bias are mandatory, accepting SO-8 footprint change and higher cost |
Compared with TL071CP and OPA140AIDBVR, the OPA131UA/2K5 uniquely balances ultra-low input bias current, factory-trimmed offset voltage, and dedicated offset trim pins in a standard SO-8 footprint-making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial instrumentation requiring field-calibratable DC precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum input common-mode voltage range for the OPA131UA/2K5?
The OPA131UA/2K5 supports a common-mode input voltage range of (V–) + 3V to (V+) – 1V. For example, with ±15V supplies, inputs may swing from –12V to +14V. This range ensures compatibility with most industrial sensor outputs and prevents phase reversal-a known issue mitigated by TI's internal circuitry in the OPA131UA/2K5.
Does the OPA131UA/2K5 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA131UA/2K5 is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. It does not require external compensation components when configured as a voltage follower or in any closed-loop gain ≥1 configuration. This simplifies design and improves reliability in the OPA131UA/2K5-based circuits used for buffering high-impedance sources.
Can the OPA131UA/2K5 drive heavy capacitive loads without oscillation?
Yes-the OPA131UA/2K5 is characterized for stable operation with ≥100pF capacitive loads, as confirmed in its typical overshoot vs. load capacitance curves. While heavier loads (>1nF) may benefit from isolation resistors, the OPA131UA/2K5's robust output stage and internal compensation eliminate the need for external compensation in most sensor interface and filter applications.
What is the purpose of pins 1 and 5 on the OPA131UA/2K5?
Pins 1 and 5 on the OPA131UA/2K5 are dedicated offset voltage trim terminals. They allow connection of a 100kΩ potentiometer to null the amplifier's input offset voltage-typically ±20mV trim range. This feature enables system-level calibration to achieve sub-microvolt residual offset, a capability not found in many competing FET-input op amps like the TL071CP or OPA140AIDBVR.
Is the OPA131UA/2K5 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the OPA131UA/2K5 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with "Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br)" eco plan designation and NIPDAU-DCC lead finish. It meets JEDEC MSL Level-3 moisture sensitivity classification and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C-fully compatible with modern lead-free PCB assembly processes for the OPA131UA/2K5.
