Product details
Overview
OPA134PAG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, high-performance FET-input audio operational amplifier designed for ultra-low distortion signal conditioning in professional analog audio paths. It delivers 0.00008% THD+N at 1kHz, 8nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 20V/µs slew rate, and operates from ±2.5V to ±18V supplies - enabling use in line drivers, preamplifiers, and active filters where fidelity and headroom are critical.
For engineers reviewing the OPA134PAG4 datasheet, OPA134PAG4 pinout, OPA134PAG4 application, or OPA134PAG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its true FET-input architecture (5pA IB), rail-to-rail output swing within 1V of supply rails, unity-gain stability, and verified performance across –40°C to +85°C with SOIC-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The OPA134PAG4 implements a fully differential JFET input stage with cascode common-mode rejection, eliminating phase reversal even when inputs exceed the common-mode range by ±10V. Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability while sustaining 8MHz gain-bandwidth and low closed-loop output impedance (0.01Ω at 10kHz) into capacitive loads up to 100pF.
Input bias current remains stable at ±5pA (typ) over temperature and common-mode voltage due to matched p-channel JFETs and cascoded input circuitry; output drive capability supports ±36mA sourcing and ±30mA sinking, with headroom of 21.3dBu (11.7Vrms at THD+N < 0.01%) into 2kΩ.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| THD+N | 0.00008% at 1kHz, 3Vrms, 2kΩ load - enables transparent signal reproduction in high-end audio without audible harmonic artifacts |
| Input Voltage Noise | 8nV/√Hz at 1kHz - preserves dynamic range in low-level microphone and phono preamp stages |
| Slew Rate | 20V/µs - supports full-swing transient response up to 100kHz without slewing-induced distortion |
| Gain Bandwidth | 8MHz - allows stable operation in unity-gain buffers and high-Q active filters up to 20kHz |
| Supply Range | ±2.5V to ±18V - accommodates both portable battery-powered and studio-grade ±15V systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1611AIDR | Lower noise (1.1nV/√Hz), higher GBW (45MHz), but higher quiescent current (3.6mA per amp vs. 4.5mA for OPA134PAG4); bipolar input (200nA IB) | Better suited for ultra-low-noise microphone preamps; less ideal for high-impedance passive tone stacks due to higher IB | Select OPA1611AIDR when voltage noise dominates system noise floor and supply current is not constrained |
| NE5532AP | Higher THD+N (0.002%), higher noise (5nV/√Hz), lower slew rate (9V/µs); bipolar input (800nA IB), higher output current (±38mA) | Cost-optimized for general-purpose audio; lacks phase-reversal immunity and rail-swing output | Select NE5532AP only for non-critical line-level buffering where BOM cost is primary constraint |
Compared with OPA134PAG4, OPA1611AIDR offers superior noise performance at the expense of input bias current and cost, while NE5532AP trades measurable distortion and stability margins for legacy compatibility and lower unit price - making OPA134PAG4 the optimal balance of fidelity, robustness, and SOIC-8 manufacturability in premium analog audio designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for OPA134PAG4?
The OPA134PAG4 supports dual-supply operation from ±2.5V to ±18V, corresponding to a total supply voltage range of 5V to 36V. Absolute maximum ratings specify 36V between V+ and V–, but recommended operation limits are ±18V to ensure specified performance including THD+N, slew rate, and output swing remain within datasheet guarantees.
Does OPA134PAG4 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA134PAG4 is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. It maintains phase margin >60° and exhibits no peaking or ringing in unity-gain buffer configurations, even with 100pF capacitive loads - verified across –40°C to +85°C and ±2.5V to ±18V supply ranges per TI SBOS058B.
What is the input common-mode voltage range for OPA134PAG4?
The OPA134PAG4 has an input common-mode voltage range of (V–) + 2.5V to (V+) – 3.5V at ±15V supplies. This means it operates correctly with inputs from –12.5V to +11.5V, and remains functional - without phase reversal - even when inputs exceed this range by up to ±10V, a key reliability feature confirmed in Section 6.2.4 of the datasheet.
Can OPA134PAG4 drive 600Ω loads effectively?
Yes, the OPA134PAG4 delivers 0.00015% THD+N at 1kHz into 600Ω with 3Vrms output, and sustains ±36mA sourcing and ±30mA sinking capability. Its output stage maintains low distortion and stable settling (0.7µs to 0.1%) under these conditions, making it suitable for professional line-driving applications requiring 600Ω termination compliance.
Is OPA134PAG4 pin-compatible with other OPAx134 variants?
The OPA134PAG4 shares identical SOIC-8 pinout with the OPA2134 (dual) and OPA4134 (quad) only for shared pins (V+, V–, OUT, +IN, –IN); however, NC pins differ across variants. Specifically, OPA134PAG4 has NC on pins 1, 5, and 8, whereas OPA2134 uses pins 1 and 7 as outputs and OPA4134 uses pins 1 and 14 as outputs - so direct PCB substitution is not supported.
