Product details
Overview
OPA134UAG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, high-performance audio operational amplifier featuring ultra-low distortion (0.00008% THD+N at 1kHz), low input voltage noise (8nV/√Hz), and true FET-input architecture with 5pA input bias current. It operates from ±2.5V to ±18V supplies, delivers 20V/µs slew rate and 8MHz gain bandwidth, and is optimized for professional line-level signal conditioning in studio-grade audio equipment.
For engineers reviewing the OPA134UAG4 datasheet, OPA134UAG4 pinout, OPA134UAG4 application, or OPA134UAG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its verified 0.00008% THD+N at 1kHz/2kΩ, rail-to-rail output swing within 1.5V of supply rails, unity-gain stability, absence of phase reversal, and SOIC-8 packaging suitable for high-fidelity analog signal paths.
Technical Context
The OPA134UAG4 employs a fully differential JFET input stage enabling exceptional common-mode rejection (100dB typ) and stable low input bias current across its full ±13.5V common-mode range. Its internal compensation ensures unity-gain stability while supporting capacitive loads up to 100pF without oscillation.
It features independent output stage design delivering ±36mA sourcing and ±30mA sinking capability, with thermal shutdown protection and robust ESD tolerance (±2000V HBM). The device maintains <0.01% THD+N up to 11.7Vrms output into 2kΩ - a headroom of 23.6dBu - validated under ±18V supply conditions.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2134UA | Dual-channel version in same SOIC-8 package; identical per-channel specs but shares thermal mass and supply pins | Better suited for stereo line drivers or dual-path active filters where channel matching and layout symmetry matter | Select OPA2134UA only when dual-channel integration reduces board area or improves channel-to-channel tracking |
| NE5532AP | Bipolar input (200nA IB), higher THD+N (0.002%), lower slew rate (9V/µs), but higher output drive (±38mA) | Preferred in cost-sensitive pro-audio power amps or summing mixers where DC precision is secondary to output current | Choose NE5532AP for legacy designs or high-current drive needs; avoid where ultra-low noise/distortion is mandatory |
Compared with OPA134UAG4, the OPA2134UA offers space savings in stereo applications but introduces shared supply coupling, while the NE5532AP trades measurable audio performance for ruggedness and cost - making OPA134UAG4 optimal for fidelity-critical signal chains where every 0.0001% THD+N matters.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage swing of the OPA134UAG4?
The OPA134UAG4 delivers a minimum output swing of ±13.5V into a 2kΩ load when operated on ±15V supplies - i.e., within 1.5V of each rail. At ±18V supplies, it achieves >21dBu headroom (11.7Vrms) while maintaining THD+N < 0.01%, as confirmed in TI's SBOS058B datasheet Figure 5-4. This rail-swing capability directly supports high-dynamic-range line-level interfaces without clipping.
Does the OPA134UAG4 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA134UAG4 is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and operates reliably with closed-loop gains ≥1 without external components. TI's datasheet explicitly states this in Section 6.4.1 and validates stability into 100pF capacitive loads - a key advantage over many FET-input op amps that require gain-dependent compensation.
What is the input bias current specification for the OPA134UAG4 over temperature?
The OPA134UAG4 specifies ±5pA typical input bias current at 25°C, with worst-case ±100pA over the full –40°C to +85°C operating range (Section 5.7, "INPUT BIAS CURRENT"). Its JFET input architecture ensures minimal drift - Figure 5-15 shows IB remains below 10pA across –25°C to +75°C, critical for high-impedance sensor and passive filter interfaces.
Can the OPA134UAG4 be used in single-supply applications?
Yes, the OPA134UAG4 supports single-supply operation from 5V to 36V (Section 5.3). When used in single-supply mode, the input common-mode range extends from (V–) + 2.5V to (V+) – 3.5V, and output swings to within 1.2V of the positive rail and 0.5V of ground (Section 5.7, "OUTPUT"). Proper level-shifting and biasing are required for AC-coupled signal paths.
How does the OPA134UAG4 handle overload or phase-reversal conditions?
The OPA134UAG4 is explicitly designed to eliminate phase reversal - a failure mode common in many FET-input op amps. As stated in Section 6.2.4, it remains stable even when inputs exceed the common-mode range by ±10V. Additionally, its output current is internally limited to ±36mA sourcing/sinking (Section 6.2.5), preventing latch-up during short-circuit events without external protection.
