Product details
Overview
OPA170AIDR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 36-V rail-to-rail output operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package, featuring 1.2 MHz gain bandwidth, 19 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, 110 µA quiescent current per amplifier, and input range extending to both supply rails - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered instruments and transducer interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the OPA170AIDR datasheet, OPA170AIDR pinout, OPA170AIDR application, or OPA170AIDR equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 pin mapping, real-world use cases in bridge amplifiers and temperature measurement, and two validated alternative op amps with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The OPA170AIDR employs a CMOS input stage with phase-reversal protection, allowing inputs to operate 100 mV beyond the negative rail and within 2 V of the positive rail without output inversion. Its open-loop gain exceeds 110 dB across –40°C to +125°C, and it maintains stability with capacitive loads up to 300 pF.
It supports true single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 36 V (±1.35 V to ±18 V), with common-mode rejection of 120 dB at ±18 V and power-supply rejection of 104 dB - making it suitable for high-accuracy DC-coupled sensing where supply ripple and common-mode interference must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 36 V - enables direct interface with industrial 24-V rails and low-power 3.3-V microcontrollers without level-shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 1.2 MHz - supports stable unity-gain buffer configurations and low-frequency precision filtering up to ~100 kHz. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 19 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - ensures minimal added noise in strain gauge and thermocouple amplification chains. |
| Quiescent Current | 110 µA per amplifier - allows multi-channel sensor front-ends in energy-constrained portable equipment. |
| Input Bias Current | 15 pA max - preserves accuracy in high-impedance pH electrode or photodiode transimpedance circuits. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 35 mV of rails at ±18 V - delivers full dynamic range into ADCs with 0–VREF input ranges. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 120 dB at ±18 V - rejects coupled noise in differential sensor bridges operating near supply limits. |
Pinout & Package
OPA170AIDR is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package) with nominal body size 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Thermal resistance RθJA is 149.5°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA192IDR | Higher precision: 5 µV max VOS, 0.2 µV/°C drift, but 1 mA IQ - 9× higher quiescent current than OPA170AIDR. | Better for lab-grade instrumentation; unsuitable for battery life-critical designs. | Choose OPA192IDR only when offset drift dominates power budget constraints. |
| TLV9061IDBVR | Lower voltage range (1.8–5.5 V), 10 MHz GBW, 550 µA IQ; optimized for 3.3-V systems, not 24-V industrial rails. | Designed for low-voltage portable electronics; lacks 36-V tolerance and rail-to-rail input. | Select TLV9061IDBVR only in space-constrained, low-voltage applications where 36-V operation is unnecessary. |
Compared with OPA170AIDR, OPA192IDR trades 9× higher supply current for sub-µV offset stability, while TLV9061IDBVR sacrifices 36-V capability and rail-to-rail input for speed and small SOT-23-5 packaging - making OPA170AIDR the optimal balance of voltage range, precision, and ultra-low power in industrial sensor front-ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for OPA170AIDR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OPA170AIDR is 40 V, but the recommended operating range is 2.7 V to 36 V. Operation above 36 V risks exceeding safe junction temperature or violating reliability limits, even if within absolute max ratings. Always refer to TI's SBOS557E datasheet Section 7.1 for derating guidance.
Does OPA170AIDR support true rail-to-rail input operation?
OPA170AIDR supports rail-to-rail *output*, but its input common-mode range extends to V– – 0.1 V and V+ – 2 V - not full rail-to-rail input. It can accept inputs 100 mV beyond the negative rail, but performance degrades within 2 V of the positive rail. Full rail-to-rail input requires alternate devices like OPA189.
Can OPA170AIDR drive capacitive loads reliably?
Yes - OPA170AIDR is specified to remain stable with capacitive loads up to 300 pF, as confirmed in TI's SBOS557E datasheet Section 8.3.2. For loads >300 pF, external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–100 Ω in series with output) is recommended to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of OPA170AIDR in SOIC-8 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for OPA170AIDR in the D (SOIC-8) package is 149.5°C/W, per TI's SBOS557E datasheet Table 7.4. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2S2P board layout; actual thermal performance improves with copper pour and thermal vias.
Is OPA170AIDR pin-compatible with other members of the OPAx170 family?
No - OPA170AIDR (single, SOIC-8) is not pin-compatible with OPA2170 (dual) or OPA4170 (quad), nor with OPA170 variants in SOT-23-5 or SOT553 packages. Pin count, pin functions, and package footprints differ across variants; PCB layout must match the exact orderable part number.
