Product details
Overview
OPA1679IRUMR from Texas Instruments is a quad-channel, rail-to-rail output audio operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity signal conditioning in professional and automotive audio systems. It delivers 4.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz, 0.0001% THD+N at 1 kHz with 2-kΩ load, and 16 MHz unity-gain bandwidth - enabling low-noise preamplification, line-driver, and active filter stages in A/V receivers and external amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA1679IRUMR datasheet, OPA1679IRUMR pinout, OPA1679IRUMR application, or OPA1679IRUMR equivalent, this device is selected where simultaneous channel isolation (>130 dB at 1 kHz), wide supply range (±2.25 V to ±18 V), and stable operation into capacitive loads up to 100 pF are required without sacrificing dynamic range or harmonic purity.
Technical Context
The OPA1679IRUMR employs a folded-cascode input stage paired with a Class AB rail-to-rail output stage, delivering low distortion across its full operating supply range. Its fully independent per-channel internal circuitry eliminates crosstalk-induced intermodulation, critical in multi-channel mixer and control surface designs.
Phase-reversal protection prevents output inversion during common-mode overdrive, while ESD-rated inputs (±2000 V HBM) and robust electrical overstress handling support reliable deployment in production audio hardware. The device maintains stability under varying load conditions without requiring external compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Noise density | 4.5 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - enables microphone preamp gain stages with <–110 dBu input-referred noise floor |
| THD+N | 0.0001% at 1 kHz, 3 VRMS, 2-kΩ load - preserves transient integrity and harmonic accuracy in mastering-grade paths |
| Gain bandwidth | 16 MHz (G = 1) - supports wideband active filters and ultrasonic-capable line drivers up to 100 kHz |
| Slew rate | 9 V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of fast transients (e.g., drum hits, plucked strings) without slew-induced distortion |
| Supply range | ±2.25 V to ±18 V (or 4.5 V to 36 V) - accommodates battery-powered portable gear and high-voltage studio equipment |
| Quiescent current | 2 mA per channel - allows four-channel operation at <8 mA total, suitable for thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Channel separation | –130 dB at 1 kHz - prevents bleed between left/right or front/rear channels in quad-mixer architectures |
Pinout & Package
OPA1679IRUMR is housed in a 16-pin QFN package (RUM) with exposed thermal pad, measuring 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.8 mm. The thermal pad must be soldered to a V–-connected copper plane for specified thermal performance (RθJA = 38.5°C/W) and maximum output swing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6, 7, 14 | OUT A/B/C/D | Amplified outputs for each of four independent channels; rail-to-rail swing within 800 mV of rails into 2-kΩ |
| 2, 5, 8, 12 | –IN A/B/C/D | Inverting inputs; high-impedance (6 GΩ || 2 pF common-mode) for precision feedback network design |
| 3, 4, 9, 11 | +IN A/B/C/D | Noninverting inputs; matched bias current (±10 pA typ.) enables DC-coupled sensor interfaces |
| 10 | V– | Negative supply rail; thermal pad must be connected here to dissipate heat and maintain SOA |
| 3 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports asymmetric supplies (e.g., +15 V / –5 V) for single-supply system integration |
| 13, 16 | NC | No-connect pins; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on die |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Phase-reversal protection | Prevents output inversion when input exceeds common-mode range (V– + 0.5 V to V+ – 2 V), eliminating latch-up risk in noninverting configurations |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings to within 800 mV of either rail into 2-kΩ, maximizing dynamic range in ±15 V or 36 V single-supply systems |
| Independent channel architecture | Zero shared bias or signal paths between channels - ensures >130 dB isolation even under overload or clipping |
| Capacitive load drive | Stable with up to 100 pF directly at output - simplifies PCB layout by eliminating series-R compensation in headphone driver stages |
| ESD robustness | ±2000 V HBM rating - withstands handling and board-level assembly without additional protection circuitry |
Applications
| Professional Audio Mixer | Guitar Amplifier Effects Loop |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1612AIDR | Dual-channel only; lower noise (1.1 nV/√Hz) but higher quiescent current (4.5 mA/ch); no phase-reversal protection | Better suited for ultra-low-noise mic preamps where channel count is secondary; not drop-in for quad-channel layouts | Select OPA1612AIDR only when dual-channel topology and sub-2 nV/√Hz noise outweigh need for integrated quad solution and phase safety |
| LM4562MAX | Quad-channel; higher THD+N (0.00003% typ. but 0.0002% max); wider supply (±2.5 V to ±17 V); no thermal pad in SOIC-14 | Preferred in cost-sensitive consumer A/V receivers; lacks QFN thermal performance for sustained high-output loads | Choose LM4562MAX for legacy SOIC-14 footprint compatibility and tighter THD+N distribution, but verify thermal derating at >100 mW/channel |
Compared with OPA1679IRUMR, OPA1612AIDR offers superior noise but requires two packages for quad functionality and lacks built-in phase reversal immunity, while LM4562MAX matches channel count but trades thermal efficiency and absolute distortion ceiling for broader manufacturing availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA1679IRUMR can drive stably?
The OPA1679IRUMR is characterized for stable operation with up to 100 pF of capacitive load at unity gain, as confirmed in Figure 6-25 of the SBOS855E datasheet. This eliminates the need for series output resistors in many headphone driver and cable-driving applications, though layout-dependent parasitics should still be minimized to preserve phase margin.
Does the OPA1679IRUMR require external power-supply decoupling capacitors?
Yes - the OPA1679IRUMR requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitors placed as close as possible to pins 3 (V+) and 10 (V–), per Section 8.3 of the datasheet. Additional bulk capacitance (e.g., 10 µF tantalum) is recommended on the supply rail to suppress low-frequency ripple in multi-channel audio systems.
Can the OPA1679IRUMR operate from a single 5-V supply?
Yes - the OPA1679IRUMR supports single-supply operation from 4.5 V to 36 V, including 5 V. At 5 V, it delivers rail-to-rail output swing within 800 mV of each rail into 2 kΩ, with THD+N remaining at 0.0001% at 1 kHz and 1 VRMS output, as verified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table (Section 6.3).
What is the function of the NC pins (13 and 16) on the OPA1679IRUMR RUM package?
Pins 13 and 16 on the OPA1679IRUMR are designated No Connect (NC) and must remain unconnected. They serve no electrical function and are included for mechanical symmetry and package manufacturability. Soldering or routing to these pins may induce parasitic coupling or compromise thermal pad solder joint integrity.
How does the thermal pad on the OPA1679IRUMR package affect performance?
The exposed thermal pad on the OPA1679IRUMR (RUM package) must be soldered to a V–-connected copper pour to achieve the specified RθJA of 38.5°C/W. Without proper thermal pad connection, junction temperature rises significantly - degrading THD+N, increasing offset drift, and risking thermal shutdown under sustained 100-mA output conditions.
