Product details
Overview
OPA132UA/2K5E4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, high-speed JFET-input operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in high-impedance sensor interfaces and data acquisition systems. It delivers 8 MHz gain-bandwidth, ±20 V/µs slew rate, 8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, ±50 pA max input bias current, and operates from ±2.5 V to ±18 V supplies.
For engineers reviewing the OPA132UA/2K5E4 datasheet, OPA132UA/2K5E4 pinout, OPA132UA/2K5E4 application, or OPA132UA/2K5E4 equivalent, key selection considerations include its unity-gain stability, absence of phase inversion, low distortion (0.00008% THD+N), and offset trim capability - critical for high-resolution SAR ADC drivers and photodiode trans-impedance amplifiers.
Technical Context
The OPA132UA/2K5E4 employs a cascoded JFET input stage that maintains ultra-low input bias current (<50 pA) across its full ±13 V common-mode range and prevents phase reversal under overdrive. Its fully differential, high-slew-rate output stage supports fast settling (0.7 µs to 0.1%, 10 V step) into capacitive loads up to 100 pF without external compensation.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, it achieves 130 dB open-loop gain into 600 Ω, 96 dB CMRR, and ±500 µV max input offset voltage. The device features two offset trim pins (1 and 8) enabling laser-trimmed precision with manual nulling capability - a distinguishing feature absent in dual/quad variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 8 MHz - enables stable closed-loop operation up to 30 kHz in 2nd-order active filters without peaking. |
| Slew Rate | ±20 V/µs - supports 10 V step response settling in ≤1 µs at 0.01% error, suitable for fast data acquisition front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 8 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - ensures minimal added noise in low-level signal amplification (e.g., piezoelectric sensors). |
| Input Bias Current | ±50 pA max at 25°C - preserves signal integrity in >1 GΩ source impedance applications like photodiode amps. |
| Common-Mode Range | ±13 V (with ±15 V supply) - allows rail-to-rail input operation in industrial ±12 V systems without attenuation. |
| Offset Voltage | ±500 µV max - enables sub-12-bit error budget in 16-bit SAR ADC driver configurations without trimming. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.5 V to ±18 V - supports wide dynamic range in battery-powered and high-voltage industrial signal chains. |
Pinout & Package
OPA132UA/2K5E4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance in compact PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Offset Trim | Input for offset voltage adjustment | Connects to potentiometer wiper for manual nulling; typical trim range ±4 mV - used only for op-amp offset correction, not system-level calibration. |
| 2 - –In | Inverting input | Differential input node; high-impedance JFET input with <50 pA bias current and 10¹³ Ω || 2 pF impedance. |
| 3 - +In | Noninverting input | Differential input node; identical impedance and bias characteristics as Pin 2; cascode design prevents phase reversal. |
| 4 - V– | Negative power supply | Accepts –2.5 V to –18 V; must be bypassed with ≥10 nF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin for noise immunity. |
| 5 - NC | No internal connection | Unbonded die pad; electrically isolated - may be left floating or tied to ground for mechanical stability (no electrical effect). |
| 6 - Output | Amplifier output | Capable of ±2.5 V swing into 600 Ω load; drives ≥100 pF capacitive loads stably; short-circuit protected to ±40 mA. |
| 7 - V+ | Positive power supply | Accepts +2.5 V to +18 V; requires local 10 nF bypass to ground; PSRR of 90 dB minimizes supply ripple coupling. |
| 8 - Offset Trim | Input for offset voltage adjustment | Completes trim circuit with Pin 1; forms balanced bridge with internal resistors - essential for achieving <100 µV residual offset. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation in voltage-follower or gain-of-1 configurations - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |
| No phase inversion on common-mode overload | Prevents catastrophic control loop failure in voltage-reference buffers when input exceeds rails - verified across –40°C to 85°C. |
| Low distortion (0.00008% THD+N) | Enables high-fidelity audio pre-amplification and precision waveform generation without harmonic contamination. |
| Offset voltage trim pins (1 & 8) | Allows post-assembly calibration to <50 µV residual offset - critical for DC-coupled instrumentation where drift must be minimized. |
| High capacitive load drive (≥100 pF) | Permits direct connection to long traces, ADC input capacitance, or RC anti-aliasing filters without stability degradation. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA128SM | Lower input bias current (±25 pA max), higher cost, military-grade screening; no offset trim pins. | Better suited for ultra-high-impedance electrometer circuits (>10 GΩ), but lacks manual offset adjustment. | Select OPA128SM only when sub-25 pA bias is mandatory and offset trim is unnecessary. |
| ADA4625-1 | Higher slew rate (34 V/µs), lower noise (4.2 nV/√Hz), wider supply (±2.2 V to ±15 V); no offset trim. | Preferred for high-speed, low-noise applications like ultrasound receiver chains where bandwidth >10 MHz is required. | Choose ADA4625-1 when noise floor or speed outweighs need for manual offset calibration. |
Compared with OPA132UA/2K5E4, OPA128SM offers superior bias current but forfeits user-adjustable offset correction, while ADA4625-1 improves noise and speed at the expense of supply flexibility and trim capability - making OPA132UA/2K5E4 the optimal choice for calibrated, high-impedance DC-coupled systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA132UA/2K5E4 can drive while remaining stable?
The OPA132UA/2K5E4 is specified to drive ≥100 pF capacitive loads stably in unity-gain configuration without external compensation, as confirmed in Figure 17 of the SBOS054B datasheet. For loads exceeding 100 pF, a series resistor (typically 20–50 Ω) between the output and capacitance restores phase margin. This capability makes OPA132UA/2K5E4 suitable for direct interface with SAR ADC inputs and long PCB traces.
Does the OPA132UA/2K5E4 require external offset nulling in typical applications?
The OPA132UA/2K5E4 features factory laser-trimmed offset voltage (±500 µV max), so external nulling is not required for most applications. However, Pin 1 and Pin 8 provide offset trim capability for designs demanding <100 µV residual offset - such as 20-bit+ measurement systems. When used, a 10 kΩ potentiometer is recommended; improper adjustment can degrade drift performance.
Can the OPA132UA/2K5E4 operate from a single 5-V supply?
Yes - the OPA132UA/2K5E4 supports single-supply operation down to 5 V total (e.g., V+ = 5 V, V– = 0 V), per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. Input common-mode range extends to within 1.2 V of each rail, and output swings to within 0.3 V of each rail under light load. For true rail-to-rail I/O, consider newer alternatives like OPA320.
How does the OPA132UA/2K5E4 prevent phase inversion during input overvoltage?
The OPA132UA/2K5E4 uses an input cascode circuit that maintains constant input bias current and avoids junction conduction even when the input common-mode voltage exceeds the supply rails by up to 0.7 V. This eliminates the phase-reversal behavior common in basic JFET op-amps, ensuring reliable operation in voltage-follower reference buffers and overvoltage-tolerant sensor interfaces.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA132UA/2K5E4 in SOIC-8 package?
The OPA132UA/2K5E4 in SOIC-8 (D) package has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W under standard JEDEC test conditions (1s2p board). Actual θJA depends heavily on PCB copper area: adding 1-in² of 2-oz copper connected to V+ and V– pins via thermal vias can reduce θJA to ~60°C/W, critical for maintaining <50 pA bias current at elevated ambient temperatures.
