Product details
Overview
OPA132UG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, high-speed, FET-input operational amplifier designed for precision analog signal conditioning in high-impedance sensor interfaces and audio/data acquisition systems. It delivers 8 MHz gain-bandwidth, 20 V/µs slew rate, 8 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, ±2.5 V to ±18 V supply operation, and 50 pA maximum input bias current.
For engineers reviewing the OPA132UG4 datasheet, OPA132UG4 pinout, OPA132UG4 application, or OPA132UG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unity-gain stability, low-noise JFET input stage, offset trim capability, wide common-mode range (±13 V), and robust capacitive load drive-critical for SAR ADC drivers, photodiode trans-impedance amplifiers, and active filter designs.
Technical Context
The OPA132UG4 employs a cascoded JFET input stage that maintains ultra-low input bias current (<50 pA) across its full ±13 V common-mode range while suppressing phase inversion-a known failure mode in legacy FET op amps. Its fully differential, high-slew-rate output stage enables fast settling (0.7 µs to 0.1%, 10 V step) into 100 pF loads without external compensation.
Internally compensated for unity-gain stability, the device achieves 130 dB open-loop gain into 600 Ω, 96 dB CMRR, and ±4 mA quiescent current per amplifier. Input offset voltage is laser-trimmed to ≤500 µV (max), with dedicated pins (1 and 8) enabling external nulling for sub-100 µV system-level accuracy.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 8 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with bandwidth up to 8 MHz |
| Slew Rate | 20 V/µs - enables <1 µs settling for 10 V output steps, critical for fast data acquisition |
| Input Voltage Noise | 8 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz - preserves SNR in low-level sensor amplification (e.g., piezoelectric, photodiode) |
| Input Bias Current | 50 pA max @ 25°C - minimizes voltage error in >100 MΩ source impedance circuits |
| Common-Mode Range | ±13 V @ ±15 V supply - allows rail-to-rail input operation in ±15 V systems |
| Open-Loop Gain | 130 dB @ 600 Ω load - ensures <0.0005% gain error in precision buffer configurations |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.5 V to ±18 V - supports industrial, audio, and high-voltage data acquisition rails |
Pinout & Package
OPA132UG4 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm body size, with surface-mount compatibility and standard JEDEC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Offset Trim) | Input offset voltage adjust | Connects to potentiometer wiper for manual nulling of input offset; typical trim range ±4 mV |

| 3 (+In) | Noninverting input | Differential input node; identical impedance and noise performance as –In |
| 4 (V–) | Negative power supply | Reference for internal biasing; must be connected to negative rail (e.g., –15 V) |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unbonded pad; electrically isolated and may be left floating or grounded for thermal stability |
| 6 (Output) | Amplifier output | Capable of ±2.5 V swing into 600 Ω; stable driving ≥100 pF without oscillation |
| 7 (V+) | Positive power supply | Reference for internal biasing; must be connected to positive rail (e.g., +15 V) |
| 8 (Offset Trim) | Input offset voltage adjust | Completes external trim circuit; used with Pin 1 to balance input stage mismatch |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed FET-input operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA132UA | Same silicon, SOIC-8 package but rated for 0°C to 70°C industrial temp range vs. –40°C to 85°C for OPA132UG4 | Not suitable for extended temperature environments such as outdoor industrial sensors or automotive under-hood modules | Select OPA132UG4 when operation over –40°C to 85°C is required; OPA132UA suffices for commercial-grade board-level applications |
| AD823ANZ | Single 16 MHz GBW rail-to-rail output op amp; higher supply current (7.5 mA), no offset trim pins, 12 nV/√Hz noise | Better for rail-to-rail output swing needs but lacks OPA132UG4's ultra-low input bias current and precision trim capability | Choose AD823ANZ where output swing to rails is mandatory and input impedance >1 GΩ is not critical |
Compared with OPA132UA and AD823ANZ, the OPA132UG4 uniquely combines extended temperature rating, dedicated offset trim, and sub-50 pA input bias current-making it the only option among the three qualified for high-precision, high-impedance, wide-temperature sensor signal chains.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the OPA132UG4?
The OPA132UG4 is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. This extended industrial temperature range is validated per TI's SBOS054B datasheet and applies to both PDIP and SOIC packages. The device maintains all key specifications-including input bias current, offset voltage, and gain-bandwidth-within this range, making it suitable for harsh-environment applications like factory automation and outdoor instrumentation where thermal cycling occurs.
Does the OPA132UG4 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA132UG4 is internally compensated and unity-gain stable by design. Its compensation network ensures unconditional stability in voltage-follower, inverting, and non-inverting configurations with gains ≥1, even when driving capacitive loads up to 100 pF. This eliminates the need for external compensation components, simplifying layout and reducing bill-of-materials cost-confirmed in Section 7.3 and Figure 17 of the SBOS054B datasheet.
Can the OPA132UG4 drive a 600 Ω load effectively?
Yes, the OPA132UG4 delivers full-rated performance into 600 Ω loads, including 130 dB open-loop gain and ±2.5 V output swing (at ±15 V supplies). Its output stage is optimized for low-distortion operation into heavy loads, supporting 0.00008% THD+N at 1 kHz with 3.5 Vrms output. This makes the OPA132UG4 suitable for driving legacy test equipment inputs, transformer-coupled audio stages, and low-impedance filter networks without signal degradation.
How does the OPA132UG4 prevent phase inversion at the input?
The OPA132UG4 uses an input cascode circuitry architecture that maintains constant input bias current and avoids the phase-reversal behavior common in basic JFET op amps. Unlike conventional FET-input devices, it sustains stable operation even when the input common-mode voltage exceeds the supply rails by up to 0.7 V-verified in functional testing and documented in Section 8.1 of SBOS054B. This eliminates catastrophic output polarity flips in voltage-follower configurations used in control loops.
What is the purpose of Pins 1 and 8 on the OPA132UG4?
Pins 1 and 8 on the OPA132UG4 are dedicated offset voltage trim terminals. They allow external adjustment of input offset voltage using a 10 kΩ potentiometer connected between them, with the wiper tied to V–. This feature enables fine nulling down to <100 µV-critical for precision DC-coupled applications like strain gauge amplifiers or thermocouple signal conditioning-without degrading long-term drift, as detailed in Section 8.1.2 of the SBOS054B datasheet.
