Product details
Overview
OPA171AID from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 36V rail-to-rail output operational amplifier in 5-pin SOT-553 package, featuring 3MHz gain bandwidth, 14nV/√Hz input voltage noise, ±0.3µV/°C offset drift (typ), 120dB CMRR, and 475µA quiescent current - deployed in precision transducer amplification, battery-powered instrumentation, and industrial temperature measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA171AID datasheet, OPA171AID pinout, OPA171AID application, or OPA171AID equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, thermal performance data, real-world input/output voltage range behavior, and validated alternative options for design-in continuity and supply chain resilience.
Technical Context
The OPA171AID operates across a wide supply range of 2.7V to 36V (±1.35V to ±18V) and maintains full rail-to-rail input operation 100mV beyond the positive rail - with reduced performance only within 2V of V+. Its RFI-filtered inputs and phase-reversal protection prevent output inversion when common-mode voltage exceeds specified limits.
It achieves stable operation with capacitive loads up to 300pF and supports high-impedance sensor interfaces via 8pA input bias current and 10¹²Ω common-mode input impedance. Specified from –40°C to +125°C, it delivers consistent 3MHz GBP and 1.5V/µs slew rate across its full operating temperature and supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 36V (±1.35V to ±18V): Enables direct interface with 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 24V, and 36V industrial rails without level-shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 3MHz: Supports stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 300kHz or unity-gain buffer operation up to 3MHz with minimal phase margin loss. |
| Input Offset Drift | ±0.3µV/°C (typ): Ensures <1.2µV total drift over –40°C to +125°C, critical for uncalibrated DC-coupled sensor front-ends. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 14nV/√Hz @ 1kHz: Low-noise performance suitable for µV-level strain gauge and thermocouple signal conditioning. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 120dB (typ, ±18V): Rejects >1M:1 common-mode interference in noisy industrial environments with floating sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 475µA per amplifier: Enables multi-year battery life in portable test equipment and low-power IoT edge nodes. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output | Swings within 30mV of rails @ 5V/10kΩ: Maximizes dynamic range in single-supply systems without negative rail generation. |
Pinout & Package
OPA171AID is packaged in a 5-pin SOT-553 (DRL) micro-package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and modular instrumentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+IN) | Noninverting input | High-impedance node (10¹²Ω || 3pF) accepting signals down to V– – 0.1V; RFI-filtered for EMI robustness. |
| 2 (V–) | Negative supply | Reference for internal biasing; supports true single-supply operation with input common-mode extending to V–. |
| 3 (–IN) | Inverting input | Matches +IN in impedance and noise; enables precision differential, inverting, and transimpedance configurations. |
| 4 (OUT) | Output | Rail-to-rail capable stage driving ≥10kΩ loads; stable with ≤300pF capacitance; short-circuit protected (±35mA). |
| 5 (V+) | Positive supply | Highest potential rail; supplies internal op-amp core and output stage; accepts up to 40V absolute max rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| RFI-filtered inputs | Integrated EMI suppression enables reliable operation in motor drives, switching power supplies, and RF-dense industrial enclosures. |
| No phase reversal | Internal protection prevents output inversion when input exceeds common-mode range - eliminates latch-up risk in overvoltage fault conditions. |
| Extended input common-mode range | Operates 100mV below V– and up to V+ + 0.1V, enabling direct connection to grounded sensors and high-side current sense without external biasing. |
| Low-input bias current | 8pA (typ) allows use with high-Z sources (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoelectric sensors) without significant offset error or signal attenuation. |
| Wide temperature specification | Guaranteed performance from –40°C to +125°C supports deployment in automotive engine bays, industrial PLCs, and outdoor metering hardware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar general-purpose operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA192IDBVR | Lower input bias current (1pA), higher GBP (10MHz), higher supply current (1mA), SOIC-8/SOT-23-5 packaging | Better suited for femtoampere photodiode or electrophysiology front-ends; less optimal for ultra-low-power battery designs | Select OPA192IDBVR when sub-pA bias and >5MHz bandwidth outweigh quiescent power constraints. |
| TLV171IDBVR | Lower voltage range (2.7V–36V same), lower IQ (190µA), lower GBP (1.2MHz), same SOT-23-5/DRL footprint | Optimized for cost-sensitive, low-bandwidth sensor interfaces where 3MHz is unnecessary | Choose TLV171IDBVR for budget-constrained industrial controls where 1.2MHz bandwidth suffices and 190µA IQ extends battery life further. |
Compared with OPA171AID, OPA192IDBVR trades 2.1× higher supply current for 3.3× greater bandwidth and 8× lower input bias current - ideal for high-speed, ultra-high-impedance sensing; TLV171IDBVR reduces IQ by 60% but cuts GBP by 60%, making it optimal for static or slow-varying DC measurements with tighter BOM cost targets.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA171AID can drive stably?
The OPA171AID is characterized for stable operation with capacitive loads up to 300pF without external compensation. For loads exceeding this value, a series isolation resistor (e.g., 50Ω) between the output and capacitive node is recommended to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking or oscillation - as confirmed in TI's SBOS516H datasheet Figure 5-23 and Section 6.3.4.
Does the OPA171AID support true rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes - the OPA171AID supports input common-mode voltage from V– – 0.1V to V+ + 0.1V. Full rail-to-rail input is functional beyond V+, though performance (e.g., offset, CMRR) degrades within 2V of V+. This capability is explicitly documented in Section 6.3.2 and Table 6-1 of the OPA171AID datasheet.
What is the absolute maximum supply voltage rating for the OPA171AID?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for the OPA171AID is 40V across V+ and V– terminals, as stated in Section 5.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings of the SBOS516H datasheet. Operation above 36V violates recommended conditions and risks permanent damage, even if within absolute limits.
Is the OPA171AID pin-compatible with other members of the OPAx171 family?
No - the OPA171AID (single, SOT-553) is not pin-compatible with OPA2171 (dual, VSSOP-8/SOIC-8) or OPA4171 (quad, TSSOP-14/SOIC-14). Pin count, layout, and terminal assignments differ across channel counts and packages; only identical part numbers share pinout compatibility.
How does the OPA171AID handle input overvoltage conditions that cause phase reversal in other op-amps?
The OPA171AID incorporates internal phase-reversal protection. When input common-mode voltage exceeds the linear range, the output saturates toward the appropriate rail instead of inverting - preventing system latch-up or erroneous control signals. This behavior is verified in Figure 5-25 ("No Phase Reversal") of the official datasheet.
