Product details
Overview
OPA1633DR from Texas Instruments is a fully differential audio operational amplifier designed to drive high-performance audio ADCs (e.g., PCM1804) or serve as a predriver for Class-D amplifiers. It delivers 132 dB THD+N at 1 kHz, 1.1 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 80 V/μs slew rate, and operates from ±2.5 V to ±17.5 V supplies - enabling ultra-low-distortion signal conditioning in professional audio front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the OPA1633DR datasheet, OPA1633DR pinout, OPA1633DR application, or OPA1633DR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, application-specific implementation insights, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The OPA1633DR implements a voltage-feedback fully differential architecture with independent input and output common-mode control. Its VOCM pin sets output DC bias (e.g., 2.5 V for PCM1804 interfacing), while balanced OUT+ and OUT− outputs suppress even-order harmonics and reject common-mode noise.
It supports both differential-input and single-ended-to-differential-output configurations using external resistor networks (e.g., 390 Ω RF/ RG for G = +1). The enable pin (active-high, referenced to V−) reduces quiescent current to 0.77 mA in shutdown, but does not place outputs in high-impedance state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| THD+N | 132 dB at 1 kHz, 3 VRMS, RL = 2 kΩ - enables >120 dB dynamic range in professional audio digitization paths. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.1 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - preserves SNR when amplifying low-level microphone or phono signals. |
| Slew Rate | 80 V/μs - supports clean transient response up to 200 kHz full-power bandwidth without slewing distortion. |
| Gain Bandwidth | 200 MHz at G = +1 - ensures stable unity-gain operation with minimal phase margin loss into capacitive ADC inputs. |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±17.5 V dual supply - accommodates line-level (±2.5 V) through studio-grade (±15 V) signal chains. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.77 mA at ±5 V - reduces system power by >90% during idle without requiring output isolation circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for embedded audio modules in industrial or broadcast equipment enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
OPA1633DR is available in SOIC-8 (D package, 4.9 mm × 6 mm) and HVSSOP-8 (DGN package, 3 mm × 4.9 mm) with exposed thermal pad. Both packages share identical pin numbering and function mapping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN− (1) | Negative input | Differential input node; requires matched impedance to IN+ for optimal CMRR and balance. |
| VOCM (2) | Output common-mode control | DC bias reference input; sets average of OUT+ and OUT−; must be driven by low-impedance source (e.g., buffered VCOM from PCM1804). |
| V+ (3) | Positive supply | Connects to +VS rail; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin for stability. |
| OUT+ (4) | Positive differential output | Drives one side of balanced load or ADC differential input; output swing limited to (V+) − 1.9 V / (V−) + 1.9 V. |
| OUT− (5) | Negative differential output | Complementary output to OUT+; phase-inverted; imbalance degrades HD2 and CMRR. |
| V− (6) | Negative supply | Connects to −VS rail; bypass with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor directly at pin. |
| Enable (7) | Active-high shutdown control | Logic high (> V− + 2 V) enables amplifier; logic low (< V− + 0.8 V) disables output stage; internal pullup defaults to enabled. |
| IN+ (8) | Positive input | Differential input node; used with IN− for balanced sources or alone (with IN− grounded) for single-ended input conversion. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fully differential amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1632DR | Pin-compatible predecessor; 131 dB THD+N, 1.2 nV/√Hz noise, no Enable pin - lacks shutdown functionality and has slightly lower AC performance. | Used where power cycling is unnecessary and legacy board layouts exist; not suitable for battery-powered or energy-aware systems. | Select OPA1632DR only if existing PCB layout mandates pin compatibility and shutdown is not required. |
| LM4562MA | Single-ended dual op-amp; 132 dB THD+N, 2.7 nV/√Hz noise, no differential outputs - requires external resistive network to emulate FDA behavior. | Applicable in cost-sensitive designs where discrete differential conversion is acceptable and board area permits extra passives. | Choose LM4562MA when differential output is not mandatory and BOM cost reduction outweighs layout complexity and noise penalty. |
Compared with OPA1632DR, the OPA1633DR adds active shutdown and improves noise by 0.1 nV/√Hz; compared with LM4562MA, it integrates differential conversion, eliminates matching resistor sensitivity, and achieves 1.6× lower input noise without external components.

FAQ
What is the primary circuit role of the OPA1633DR in audio systems?
The OPA1633DR serves as a fully differential amplifier that converts single-ended inputs to balanced differential outputs or amplifies differential signals directly. Its core role is driving high-performance audio ADCs like the PCM1804 or acting as a predriver for Class-D amplifier stages - delivering ultra-low distortion, wide bandwidth, and precise common-mode control essential for professional audio fidelity. This function is intrinsic to the OPA1633DR's architecture and validated across its recommended operating conditions.
Does the OPA1633DR support single-supply operation?
Yes, the OPA1633DR supports single-supply operation from 4 V to 35 V, as specified in its Recommended Operating Conditions. In single-supply mode, the VOCM pin must be biased to set the output common-mode voltage appropriately - for example, to mid-rail (VCC/2) or an external reference such as 2.5 V from an ADC's VCOM pin. This capability makes the OPA1633DR adaptable to portable and space-constrained audio designs without requiring dual rails. All performance metrics in the OPA1633DR datasheet include single-supply test conditions.
How does the Enable pin on the OPA1633DR function, and what happens to the outputs during shutdown?
The Enable pin (Pin 7) on the OPA1633DR is an active-high control referenced to V−. Applying a voltage > V− + 2 V enables normal operation; applying < V− + 0.8 V disables the amplifier, reducing quiescent current to 0.77 mA at ±5 V. Critically, the OPA1633DR outputs do not enter a high-impedance state during shutdown - they remain actively driven near their last valid common-mode level. Therefore, the OPA1633DR cannot be used for analog multiplexing; external switches or relays are required for true signal isolation. This behavior is explicitly documented in the OPA1633DR device functional modes section.
What is the significance of the VOCM pin in OPA1633DR applications?
The VOCM (Voltage Output Common-Mode) pin on the OPA1633DR directly sets the average DC voltage of the differential outputs (i.e., (OUT+ + OUT−)/2). It enables precise interfacing with ADCs requiring specific input common-mode voltages - such as the PCM1804's 2.5 V VCOM reference. Driving VOCM with a low-impedance source (e.g., buffered op-amp output) ensures stable biasing and minimizes distortion from VOCM impedance interactions. Leaving VOCM floating defaults it to mid-rail, but this is not recommended for production designs due to potential noise coupling. This VOCM control mechanism is a defining feature of the OPA1633DR's FDA architecture.
Can the OPA1633DR replace the OPA1632DR without PCB changes?
Yes, the OPA1633DR is pin-compatible with the OPA1632DR in SOIC-8 and HVSSOP-8 packages and shares identical pin functions, footprint, and recommended operating conditions. However, the OPA1633DR adds an Enable pin (previously NC on OPA1632DR) and improves THD+N by 1 dB and input voltage noise by 0.1 nV/√Hz. To retain full functionality, the Enable pin must be pulled high (e.g., to V+ via 10 kΩ) if unused. No trace modifications are needed, making the OPA1633DR a drop-in upgrade for existing OPA1632DR designs seeking enhanced performance and power control.
