Product details
Overview
OPA1679IRUMT 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 114 dB open-loop gain - enabling low-noise preamplification, line driver, and active filter stages in A/V receivers and external amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA1679IRUMT datasheet, OPA1679IRUMT pinout, OPA1679IRUMT application, or OPA1679IRUMT equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, QFN-16 package layout guidance, channel-isolated performance data, and validated alternatives for audio-grade op amp selection across supply ranges from ±2.25 V to ±18 V.
Technical Context
The OPA1679IRUMT uses a folded-cascode input stage paired with a Class AB rail-to-rail output stage, delivering unity-gain stability and low distortion across wide supply voltages. Its independent per-channel biasing eliminates crosstalk (–130 dB at 1 kHz) and prevents inter-channel interaction during overload.
Phase-reversal protection ensures output clamping-not inversion-when inputs exceed common-mode range (VCM = (V−) + 0.5 V to (V+) − 2 V), while internal ESD protection meets ±2000-V HBM and ±1000-V CDM standards without requiring external components.
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 harmonic integrity in critical audio paths |
| Open-loop gain | 114 dB - supports precise DC-coupled gain accuracy and low-error active filters |
| Slew rate | 9 V/μs - sustains full-swing transient response up to 1.4 MHz at 1 VP |
| Supply range | ±2.25 V to ±18 V (or 4.5 V to 36 V) - interoperable with legacy analog audio rails and modern low-voltage DSP interfaces |
| Quiescent current | 2 mA per channel - allows four-channel operation at <8 mA total, suitable for thermally constrained PCBs |
| Channel separation | –130 dB at 1 kHz - prevents audible crosstalk in multi-channel mixer summing and routing |
Pinout & Package
The OPA1679IRUMT 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 V− for specified thermal performance (RθJA = 38.5°C/W) and stable output swing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 6, 7, 14 | OUT A/B/C/D | Four independent rail-to-rail output terminals - each capable of sourcing/sinking ≥25 mA into 2-kΩ load |
| 2, 5, 8, 12 | –IN A/B/C/D | Inverting inputs - high-impedance (6 GΩ || 2 pF common-mode) for precision feedback networks |
| 3, 4, 9, 11 | +IN A/B/C/D | Noninverting inputs - matched bias current (±10 pA typ.) enables balanced differential input configurations |
| 10 | V− | Negative supply rail - connects to thermal pad; required reference for all channel outputs and bias circuitry |
| 3 | V+ | Positive supply rail - supplies internal bias generators and output stage; decoupling recommended within 1 cm |
| 13, 16 | NC | No-connect pins - electrically isolated; must remain unconnected per TI design validation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Within 800 mV of both rails at 2-kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply audio interfaces |
| Phase-reversal protection | Output clamps to rail instead of inverting when inputs exceed VCM limits - prevents catastrophic signal corruption in overdriven mixer stages |
| Independent channel architecture | No shared bias or current sources between channels - eliminates intermodulation distortion and crosstalk in multi-channel summing amps |
| Wide supply compatibility | Operates from ±2.25 V to ±18 V - supports both battery-powered portable gear and high-headroom studio equipment without redesign |
| Low 1/f noise | 1.74 µVPP (0.1 Hz to 10 Hz) - critical for DC-coupled phono preamps and low-frequency instrument amplification |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA1679IDR | SOIC-14 package, RθJA = 90°C/W vs. 38.5°C/W for RUM; no thermal pad; larger footprint | Preferred for prototyping and through-hole assembly; less suitable for space-constrained automotive modules | Select OPA1679IDR when board real estate permits and thermal management via copper pour suffices |
| OPA1678IRUGR | Dual-channel version in 8-pin SON-8 (RUG); shares same noise/distortion specs but half channel count | Used where only two high-performance channels needed - e.g., stereo headphone amp or dual-mic interface | Choose OPA1678IRUGR to reduce BOM cost and layout complexity when quad functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with OPA1679IDR and OPA1678IRUGR, the OPA1679IRUMT offers superior thermal performance in minimal area and native four-channel integration - eliminating inter-device matching variance and reducing PCB trace length in multi-channel audio routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA1679IRUMT can drive stably?
The OPA1679IRUMT maintains stable operation with up to 100 pF capacitive load in unity-gain configuration, as confirmed by phase margin >40° and <10% overshoot in Figure 6-25 and Figure 6-26 of the SBOS855E datasheet. For loads exceeding 100 pF, external isolation resistor (≥10 Ω) is recommended to preserve bandwidth and transient fidelity in the OPA1679IRUMT.
Does the OPA1679IRUMT support single-supply operation?
Yes, the OPA1679IRUMT operates from a single 4.5 V to 36 V supply, as specified in Section 6.3 Recommended Operating Conditions. Its rail-to-rail output stage and input common-mode range extending to within 0.5 V of V− enable true single-supply use in 5 V or 12 V audio systems without level-shifting circuitry - a key capability confirmed for the OPA1679IRUMT across temperature and supply variations.
How is thermal performance affected if the exposed pad of the OPA1679IRUMT is not soldered?
Leaving the thermal pad of the OPA1679IRUMT unsoldered increases junction-to-ambient thermal resistance from 38.5°C/W to >100°C/W, risking thermal shutdown or accelerated parameter drift above 70°C ambient. TI's datasheet explicitly requires soldering the pad to V− to achieve rated performance - this is a mandatory design requirement for the OPA1679IRUMT, not optional layout guidance.
Can the OPA1679IRUMT replace the OPA1612 in an existing design?
The OPA1679IRUMT is not a drop-in replacement for the OPA1612 due to differing pinouts (QFN-16 vs SOIC-8), channel count (quad vs dual), and supply current (2 mA/channel vs 2.6 mA/channel). While both offer low noise (<5 nV/√Hz), the OPA1679IRUMT adds phase-reversal protection and wider supply range - but requires PCB redesign and firmware-level channel mapping updates.
What is the input bias current specification for the OPA1679IRUMT over temperature?
The OPA1679IRUMT specifies ±10 pA typical input bias current at 25°C, with variation bounded by ±1500 pA from –40°C to +125°C (Figure 6-18). This ultra-low, temperature-stable bias current enables high-impedance sensor interfaces and passive RC filter networks without significant DC error - a verified characteristic of the OPA1679IRUMT across its full operating range.
