Product details
Overview
OPA171AIDRLR from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 36V rail-to-rail output operational amplifier in a 5-pin SOT-553 package, featuring 3MHz gain bandwidth, 14nV/√Hz input voltage noise, ±0.3µV/°C typical offset drift, 475µA quiescent current, and full rail-to-rail output swing - deployed in precision transducer amplification, battery-powered instrumentation, and industrial temperature measurement systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA171AIDRLR datasheet, OPA171AIDRLR pinout, OPA171AIDRLR application, or OPA171AIDRLR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specifications, validated SOT-553 terminal mapping, confirmed thermal performance (RθJA = 208.1°C/W), real-world application context for strain gauge and bridge amplifier use, and two technically documented alternative parts with explicit functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The OPA171AIDRLR employs a proprietary input stage enabling operation 100mV below V– and within 2V of V+, with phase-reversal protection preventing output inversion during common-mode overdrive. Its unity-gain-stable architecture supports capacitive loads up to 300pF when isolated by a series output resistor.
Specified across –40°C to +125°C and supply voltages from 2.7V to 36V (±1.35V to ±18V), it maintains 120dB typical CMRR at ±18V, 130dB open-loop gain, and 1.5V/µs slew rate - all while delivering rail-to-rail output swing within 30mV of each rail at 5V supply and 10kΩ load.
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 unity-gain buffer configurations and closed-loop gains up to ~30 at 100kHz. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 14nV/√Hz @ 1kHz: Critical for low-level signal conditioning in strain gauges and thermocouple amplifiers. |
| Offset Drift | ±0.3µV/°C (typ): Ensures <±0.12mV total drift over –40°C to +125°C, minimizing calibration burden in field-deployed sensors. |
| Quiescent Current | 475µA per amplifier: Allows continuous operation in battery-powered instruments with multi-year runtime on coin cells. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail: Delivers full dynamic range into ADCs with 0–VCC input ranges, eliminating need for negative supply in single-supply systems. |
| Common-Mode Rejection | 120dB (typ) @ ±18V: Rejects power supply ripple and EMI coupling in noisy industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
OPA171AIDRLR uses a 5-pin SOT-553 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and modular sensor nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: +IN | Noninverting input | High-impedance (10¹²Ω || 3pF) node accepting signals down to V– – 0.1V; RFI-filtered for EMC robustness. |
| 2: V– | Negative supply | Reference for internal biasing; supports true single-supply operation with ground as V–. |
| 3: –IN | Inverting input | Matches +IN impedance; enables precision differential, inverting, and transimpedance configurations. |
| 4: OUT | Amplifier output | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±25mA; drives 10kΩ loads to within 30mV of rails at 5V supply. |
| 5: V+ | Positive supply | Highest potential rail; accepts up to 36V; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling per TI layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 30mV of V+ and V– at 5V supply and 10kΩ load - maximizes ADC utilization in single-supply data acquisition. |
| Phase-reversal protection | Prevents output inversion when inputs exceed common-mode range - eliminates latch-up risk in overvoltage fault conditions. |
| RFI-filtered inputs | Integrated input filtering suppresses high-frequency interference from switching regulators and RF sources without external components. |
| Wide common-mode range | Operates with inputs 100mV below V– and up to V+ – 2V - supports direct sensing of ground-referenced signals in high-side configurations. |
| Low-input bias current | ±8pA (typ) enables high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes, piezoelectric transducers) without significant error. |
Applications
| Transducer Amplification | Bridge Amplifier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA192IDBVR | Lower input bias current (±1pA), higher GBP (10MHz), but higher quiescent current (1mA) and no phase-reversal protection. | Better for ultra-high-impedance photodiode amps; less suitable for cost-sensitive industrial sensors where fault tolerance matters. | Select OPA192IDBVR only when pA-level bias current dominates design requirements and supply current is not constrained. |
| TLV171IDBVR | Same SOT-23-5 package, lower supply range (up to 36V), but reduced CMRR (100dB typ) and higher offset drift (±2µV/°C). | Acceptable for consumer-grade battery monitors; insufficient for precision industrial temperature measurement over full temperature range. | Choose TLV171IDBVR only for non-critical applications where cost is primary and ±2µV/°C drift is acceptable. |
Compared with OPA171AIDRLR, OPA192IDBVR trades fault resilience and power efficiency for higher speed and lower bias current, while TLV171IDBVR sacrifices precision and robustness for lower unit cost - making OPA171AIDRLR the optimal balance for industrial sensor signal chains demanding reliability, low drift, and single-supply simplicity.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA171AIDRLR can drive without oscillation?
The OPA171AIDRLR is stable with capacitive loads up to 300pF when properly isolated using a series output resistor (e.g., 50Ω). Without isolation, instability may occur above ~100pF. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 5-23 and Section 6.3.4 of the official SBOS516H datasheet. For OPA171AIDRLR designs driving cables or ADC input capacitance, always include ROUT ≥25Ω to maintain phase margin.
Does the OPA171AIDRLR support true rail-to-rail input operation?
The OPA171AIDRLR supports rail-to-rail input operation beyond the supply rails: inputs can extend 100mV below V– and up to V+ + 0.1V. However, full specified performance (e.g., offset, CMRR) is guaranteed only from V– – 0.1V to V+ – 2V. Operation within 2V of V+ yields degraded parameters - detailed in Table 6-1 of the SBOS516H datasheet for OPA171AIDRLR.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the OPA171AIDRLR in its SOT-553 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for OPA171AIDRLR in the DRL (SOT-553) package is 208.1°C/W, as measured per JEDEC JESD51 standards on a 2-layer board with 1-in² copper pad. This value assumes standard PCB layout per TI's Thermal Metrics report - critical for calculating maximum junction temperature in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments.
Can the OPA171AIDRLR be used in single-supply 3.3V systems?
Yes, the OPA171AIDRLR operates down to 2.7V supply, making it fully compatible with 3.3V single-supply systems. At 3.3V, it maintains rail-to-rail output swing (within ~40mV of each rail), 3MHz GBP, and 14nV/√Hz noise - validated in Section 5.7 Electrical Characteristics of the SBOS516H datasheet for OPA171AIDRLR under VS = 3.3V conditions.
Is the OPA171AIDRLR pin-compatible with other members of the OPAx171 family?
No - OPA171AIDRLR (single, SOT-553) is not pin-compatible with OPA2171 (dual, VSSOP-8) or OPA4171 (quad, TSSOP-14). Pin mapping differs across channel count and package variants. The SOT-553 pinout (1:+IN, 2:V–, 3:–IN, 4:OUT, 5:V+) is unique to the single-channel DRL variant and must be laid out separately. Refer to Figure 4-1 in the SBOS516H datasheet for OPA171AIDRLR-specific pin configuration.
