Product details
Overview
OPA1644AIPW from Texas Instruments is a quad-channel, JFET-input audio operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity signal conditioning in professional and consumer audio systems. It delivers 5.1 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 0.00005% THD+N at 1 kHz, 20 V/μs slew rate, ±2.25 V to ±18 V dual-supply operation, and rail-to-rail output swing - enabling low-distortion pre-amplification and line-driver stages in analog mixing consoles and A/V receivers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA1644AIPW datasheet, OPA1644AIPW pinout, OPA1644AIPW application, or OPA1644AIPW equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low distortion performance under 2-kΩ load, phase-reversal immunity across full common-mode range, EMI rejection up to 96.6 dB at 5 GHz, thermal stability over –40°C to +85°C, and compatibility with SOIC-14 and TSSOP-14 PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The OPA1644AIPW employs a fully differential JFET input stage with <2 pA input bias current and extremely stable input capacitance, enabling high-impedance source interfacing without degradation of frequency response or distortion. Its rail-to-rail output stage uses complementary bipolar drivers to achieve 3.2 MHz full-power bandwidth and 600 ns overload recovery while maintaining unity-gain stability.
Each of the four independent amplifiers features no phase reversal, internal current limiting (±30–36 mA), and >120 dB channel separation at 1 kHz - ensuring minimal crosstalk in multi-channel audio routing. The device operates across ±2.25 V to ±18 V supplies and maintains 126 dB CMRR and PSRR up to 100 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| THD+N | 0.00005% at 1 kHz, 3 VRMS output into 2 kΩ - enables transparent gain staging in master bus and monitor paths without audible coloration. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 5.1 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - preserves dynamic range in microphone preamp and phono stage applications with high source impedance. |
| Slew Rate | 20 V/μs - supports clean reproduction of transient-rich audio signals (e.g., drum transients) without slew-induced distortion. |
| Supply Range | ±2.25 V to ±18 V - accommodates both portable battery-powered designs (±3 V) and studio-grade ±15 V rails. |
| Output Swing | (V−)+0.35 V to (V+)-0.35 V into 2 kΩ - delivers >27 VRMS headroom at ±15 V supply, maximizing SNR in line-level circuits. |
| Channel Separation | −126 dB at 1 kHz - prevents inter-channel leakage in stereo/quad summing and surround decoding applications. |
| EMIRR IN+ | 96.6 dB at 5 GHz - suppresses RF rectification artifacts from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth interference in compact PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
OPA1644AIPW is available in 14-pin SOIC (D) package (8.65 mm × 3.90 mm) and 14-pin TSSOP (PW) package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm), both RoHS-compliant and rated for −40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 7, 8, 14 | OUT A / OUT B / OUT C / OUT D | Amplifier outputs - each independently drives 2 kΩ loads with rail-to-rail swing and 600 ns overload recovery. |
| 2, 6, 9, 13 | −IN A / −IN B / −IN C / −IN D | Inverting inputs - high-impedance JFET nodes (<2 pA bias current) compatible with passive filter networks and feedback dividers. |
| 3, 5, 10, 12 | +IN A / +IN B / +IN C / +IN D | Noninverting inputs - symmetric layout ensures matched EMI rejection (EMIRR IN+) and CMRR ≥120 dB. |
| 4 | V+ | Positive supply rail - accepts up to ±18 V; decoupling with 0.1 µF + 10 µF recommended per amplifier pair. |
| 11 | V− | Negative supply rail - shared return path for all four channels; requires low-impedance ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Prevents output inversion when inputs exceed common-mode range - eliminates latch-up risk in noninverting gain stages with large DC offsets. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Delivers >98% of supply voltage swing into 2 kΩ - maximizes usable dynamic range in single-supply line drivers and active filters. |
| Independent channel circuitry | Zero shared bias or signal paths between channels - guarantees −126 dB crosstalk even during overload or clipping conditions. |
| Low quiescent current | 1.8 mA per channel at 25°C - enables thermal management in dense quad-channel PCB layouts without forced airflow. |
| EMI rejection ratio | 96.6 dB at 5 GHz - mitigates audible heterodyne tones from 802.11a/n co-location in smart speakers and streaming A/V receivers. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1656AIPW | Lower noise (3.5 nV/√Hz), higher quiescent current (3.6 mA/ch), same SOIC-14 footprint. | Better suited for ultra-low-noise microphone preamps; less optimal for thermally constrained multi-channel PCBs. | Select OPA1656AIPW only when THD+N < 0.00002% and noise < 4 nV/√Hz are required - otherwise OPA1644AIPW offers superior power/noise trade-off. |
| NE5532APW | Bipolar input (200 nA IB), higher THD+N (0.002%), lower slew rate (9 V/μs), same 14-pin SOIC package. | Legacy design compatibility; not suitable for high-Z sources or wide common-mode swing applications. | Choose NE5532APW for cost-sensitive legacy replacements where JFET input and sub-0.0001% THD+N are not required. |
Compared with OPA1656AIPW and NE5532APW, the OPA1644AIPW uniquely balances ultra-low distortion (0.00005%), JFET-input impedance (>10¹³ Ω), and 1.8 mA/channel quiescent current - making it the optimal choice for thermally dense, high-channel-count audio routing where phase integrity and EMI immunity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA1644AIPW can drive without instability?
The OPA1644AIPW maintains stability driving up to 100 pF capacitive load with appropriate series output resistance (e.g., 24 Ω). Figure 19 in the SBOS484D datasheet shows <5% overshoot at 100 pF with ROUT = 24 Ω. For loads >100 pF, external compensation or isolation resistors are required - the OPA1644AIPW is not unity-gain stable into purely capacitive loads exceeding this threshold without added series impedance.
Does the OPA1644AIPW support single-supply operation?
Yes, the OPA1644AIPW supports single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 36 V, as specified in Section 6.3 of the datasheet. Its rail-to-rail output and extended common-mode input range (V− − 0.1 V to V+ − 3.5 V) enable use in 5 V or 12 V single-rail audio interfaces, provided input biasing and output coupling are properly implemented per TI's Application Report SLOA058.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) for the OPA1644AIPW in SOIC-14 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for the OPA1644AIPW in 14-pin SOIC (D) package is 97°C/W, as listed in Table 6-4 of the SBOS484D datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions; actual thermal performance improves with copper pour and thermal vias.
How does the OPA1644AIPW handle input overdrive beyond the common-mode range?
The OPA1644AIPW incorporates internal phase-reversal protection. When either input exceeds the linear common-mode range (V− − 0.1 V to V+ − 3.5 V), the output saturates cleanly at the nearest rail instead of inverting polarity - preventing catastrophic latch-up in noninverting configurations and preserving downstream stage integrity.
Is the OPA1644AIPW pin-compatible with other devices in the OPA164x family?
No - the OPA1644AIPW (14-pin quad) is not pin-compatible with the OPA1641 (8-pin single) or OPA1642 (8-pin dual). Its 14-pin SOIC/TSSOP layout allocates dedicated pins for all four channels' inputs and outputs, plus shared V+ and V− rails, differing fundamentally from the 8-pin dual/single pinouts shown in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of SBOS484D.
