Product details
Overview
OPA172IDCKT from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, 36-V rail-to-rail output operational amplifier with 10-MHz gain bandwidth, ±0.2-mV offset voltage, and 7-nV/√Hz input voltage noise density. It operates from ±2.25 V to ±18 V supplies, supports full rail-to-rail input (100 mV beyond rails), and delivers 10-V/µs slew rate for precision signal conditioning in high-voltage industrial sensing.
For engineers reviewing the OPA172IDCKT datasheet, OPA172IDCKT pinout, OPA172IDCKT application, or OPA172IDCKT equivalent, key selection considerations include its SC70-5 package footprint, low 1.6-mA quiescent current per amplifier, EMI-filtered inputs, and guaranteed operation from –40°C to +125°C in demanding embedded systems.
Technical Context
The OPA172IDCKT uses a high-voltage CMOS process enabling wide supply range (±2.25 V to ±18 V) and true rail-to-rail output swing within 70 mV of either rail at 36-V supply. Its input stage accepts common-mode voltages from (V–) – 0.1 V up to (V+) – 2 V, with no phase reversal beyond rails.
It features low-input-bias-current (±8 pA typical) JFET input architecture, 120-dB common-mode rejection, and integrated EMI/RFI filtering on both inputs-critical for precision transducer amplification in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | +4.5 V to +36 V (single-supply) or ±2.25 V to ±18 V - enables direct interface with 24-V PLC I/O and high-side sensor bridges without level-shifting. |
| Gain Bandwidth | 10 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 1 MHz for anti-aliasing filter stages and fast-settling data acquisition front-ends. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±0.2 mV (typical) - reduces DC error in strain gauge and thermocouple amplifiers without external trimming. |
| Slew Rate | 10 V/µs - ensures <3.2 µs settling to 0.01% for 10-V step inputs, suitable for precision DAC output buffering. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 7 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz - maintains SNR >90 dB in 20-kHz bandwidth applications like audio-grade instrumentation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1.6 mA per amplifier - balances performance and power in battery-backed industrial monitors and portable test equipment. |
| Output Swing | Within 70 mV of rails (RL = 10 kΩ, VS = +36 V) - maximizes dynamic range in single-supply 3.3-V or 5-V microcontroller ADC interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
OPA172IDCKT is housed in a 5-pin SC70 package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm body size), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and modular industrial electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+IN) | Noninverting input | Accepts signals down to V– – 0.1 V; used for high-impedance sensor connections with minimal loading. |
| 2 (V–) | Negative supply | Reference for internal biasing; must be connected to lowest system potential (e.g., ground or negative rail). |
| 3 (–IN) | Inverting input | Supports unity-gain stable configurations; differential input impedance >100 MΩ || 4 pF. |
| 4 (OUT) | Amplifier output | Rail-to-rail capable; drives ≥10-kΩ loads with <0.00005% THD+N at 1-kHz, 3.5-VRMS. |
| 5 (V+) | Positive supply | Accepts up to +36 V; internal protection limits absolute max to 40 V across V+–V– terminals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 70 mV of supply rails at 36-V supply - preserves full-scale resolution when driving SAR or sigma-delta ADCs. |
| EMI/RFI filtered inputs | Integrated input-stage filtering suppresses >100-MHz RF interference - eliminates need for external ferrite beads in motor-drive feedback paths. |
| Input beyond rails | Operates with input up to (V+) + 0.1 V and (V–) – 0.1 V - enables safe overvoltage tolerance during power sequencing or fault conditions. |
| Low offset drift | ±0.3 µV/°C (–40°C to +125°C) - limits thermal-induced error to <0.1 mV over full industrial temperature range. |
| High CMRR | 120 dB (at ±18 V) - rejects common-mode noise from shared ground returns in multi-channel sensor arrays. |
Applications
| Transducer Amplifier | Bridge Amplifier |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Amplifying low-level mV outputs from load cells and pressure sensors in factory automation systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary signal-conditioning amplifier with programmable gain, configured as an instrumentation-grade difference amplifier. Use Value: ±0.2-mV offset and ±0.3-µV/°C drift minimize calibration frequency; rail-to-rail output maximizes ADC utilization in 24-bit systems. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision buffer and gain stage for bridge excitation and differential output conditioning. Use Value: 120-dB CMRR rejects bridge common-mode shifts due to temperature gradients; 10-MHz GBP supports fast response to mechanical shock events. |
| Temperature Measurement | Tracking Amplifier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA192IDBVT | Higher 20-MHz GBP, lower 5.5-nV/√Hz noise, but higher 1.1-mA IQ and no EMI filtering. | Better for wideband audio or high-speed data acquisition; less robust in electrically noisy industrial enclosures. | Select OPA192IDBVT only if bandwidth >10 MHz is required and EMI immunity is handled externally. |
| OPA2188AIDR | Zero-drift architecture (0.005 µV/°C), 1.2-µV max offset, but limited 2-MHz GBP and 1.3-mA IQ. | Superior for ultra-stable DC-coupled applications (e.g., precision weigh scales); insufficient for >100-kHz signal chains. | Choose OPA2188AIDR when long-term DC accuracy dominates over speed and noise performance. |
Compared with OPA172IDCKT, OPA192IDBVT trades EMI resilience for bandwidth and noise, while OPA2188AIDR sacrifices speed for near-zero drift-making OPA172IDCKT the balanced choice for general-purpose high-voltage precision amplification where robustness, speed, and low noise must coexist.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for OPA172IDCKT?
The OPA172IDCKT has an absolute maximum supply voltage rating of 40 V across V+ and V– terminals. It is specified for continuous operation from +4.5 V to +36 V (single-supply) or ±2.25 V to ±18 V (dual-supply). Exceeding 40 V may cause permanent damage, and operation above +36 V voids guaranteed performance specifications.
Does OPA172IDCKT support rail-to-rail input operation?
Yes, the OPA172IDCKT supports rail-to-rail input operation with common-mode voltage range from (V–) – 0.1 V to (V+) – 2 V under normal conditions. It can tolerate input signals up to (V+) + 0.1 V without phase reversal, though performance is reduced within 2 V of the positive rail. This enables direct interfacing with sensors referenced to system ground or negative rails.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the OPA172IDCKT in its SC70-5 package?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) for OPA172IDCKT in the SC70-5 (DCK) package is 285.2°C/W, as measured per JEDEC JESD51 standards. This value assumes standard 2-layer PCB layout with no copper pour; actual board-level thermal performance improves significantly with thermal vias and copper planes beneath the exposed pad (if present) or adjacent traces.
Can OPA172IDCKT drive capacitive loads directly?
The OPA172IDCKT is not unity-gain stable into large capacitive loads. It requires isolation resistance (typically 10–100 Ω) between output and load capacitance >100 pF to prevent peaking or oscillation. The datasheet provides stability plots and recommends using the "Capacitive Load Drive Solution Using an Isolation Resistor" configuration for reliable operation with ADC input capacitors or long cables.
Is OPA172IDCKT qualified for automotive applications?
No, the OPA172IDCKT is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) and intended for industrial, test, and medical equipment-not automotive safety-critical systems. For automotive use, TI recommends the AEC-Q100 qualified OPA197 or OPA2197 families, which share similar architecture but undergo additional stress testing and qualification.
