Product details
Overview
OPA2134UAE4 from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, FET-input audio operational amplifier optimized for high-fidelity signal conditioning in professional and consumer audio systems. It delivers ultra-low THD+N (0.00008% at 1kHz), low input voltage noise (8nV/√Hz), and high slew rate (20V/µs) with rail-to-rail output swing within 1.5V of supply rails under 2kΩ load - enabling clean headroom in line-level driver and preamplifier stages.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2134UAE4 datasheet, OPA2134UAE4 pinout, OPA2134UAE4 application, or OPA2134UAE4 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package layout, channel-isolated dual-amplifier architecture details, and real-world audio circuit implementation guidance - all grounded in TI's SBOS058B production data sheet.
Technical Context
The OPA2134UAE4 implements a true JFET-input differential pair with cascoded input stage, delivering 5pA typical input bias current and >100dB CMRR across –12.5V to +11.5V common-mode range. Its unity-gain-stable, fully compensated design supports stable operation into 100pF capacitive loads without external compensation.
Each amplifier channel operates independently with no crosstalk coupling - confirmed by 128dB DC channel separation and >126dB at 20kHz - making it suitable for stereo-pair configurations where inter-channel integrity is critical, such as balanced line receivers and active crossover networks.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| THD+N | 0.00008% at 1kHz, 3Vrms, 2kΩ load - enables transparent signal reproduction below human audibility threshold |
| Slew Rate | 20V/µs - supports full-swing transient response up to 1.3MHz full-power bandwidth without slewing distortion |
| Input Voltage Noise | 8nV/√Hz at 1kHz - preserves dynamic range in low-source-impedance microphone and line-level stages |
| Open-Loop Gain | 120dB at 2kΩ load - ensures <0.001% gain error in precision gain-setting circuits with feedback resistors ≤100kΩ |
| Supply Range | ±2.5V to ±18V - accommodates both portable battery-powered (±3V) and studio-grade (±15V) audio rails |
| Output Swing | Within 1.5V of rails at 2kΩ - delivers 21.3dBu headroom at ±18V supply, exceeding CD-standard 2.0Vrms line level |
| Channel Separation | 128dB DC, 126dB at 20kHz - prevents audible crosstalk in stereo summing, panning, or dual-mono monitoring paths |
Pinout & Package
OPA2134UAE4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) surface-mount package with standard pin spacing (1.27mm pitch) and JEDEC MS-012AC footprint. Thermal resistance is RθJA = 160°C/W, supporting continuous operation at ambient temperatures up to +85°C with minimal heatsinking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT A | Amplifier A output - drives external load; capable of sourcing 36mA/sinking 30mA |
| 2 | –IN A | Inverting input, channel A - virtual ground node in standard inverting configurations |
| 3 | +IN A | Noninverting input, channel A - high-impedance (1013Ω) node requiring matched source impedance for lowest distortion |
| 4 | V– | Negative power supply - must be bypassed with ≥10nF ceramic capacitor near pin |
| 5 | +IN B | Noninverting input, channel B - electrically isolated from channel A; identical specs and layout rules apply |
| 6 | –IN B | Inverting input, channel B - independent of channel A; no internal coupling or shared biasing |
| 7 | OUT B | Amplifier B output - fully independent output stage; supports simultaneous drive of separate loads |
| 8 | V+ | Positive power supply - requires local 10nF+ ceramic decoupling to suppress supply-induced noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No phase reversal | Operates safely with inputs extended 10V beyond supply rails - eliminates latch-up risk in voltage-follower or unity-gain buffer applications |
| FET input stage | 5pA max input bias current at 25°C - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing and passive filter integration without DC error |
| Rail-swing output | Drives to within 1.5V of V+ and V– at 2kΩ - maximizes usable output voltage range in ±15V systems (±13.5V swing) |
| Unity-gain stable | Requires no external compensation - simplifies PCB layout and reduces component count in gain-of-1 and gain-of-10 configurations |
| Low inter-channel crosstalk | 128dB DC channel separation - maintains stereo image fidelity in dual-channel line drivers and active filters |
Applications
| Professional Audio Line Driver | Studio-Grade Preamplifier |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel audio operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2134PA | Same silicon die, PDIP-8 through-hole package; higher RθJA (71°C/W vs 160°C/W); no moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating | Preferred for prototyping, hand-soldered evaluation, or legacy through-hole designs; unsuitable for reflow-only production | Select OPA2134PA only when board assembly process mandates through-hole mounting or thermal derating allows higher junction temperature |
| NE5532DR | Bipolar input; higher THD+N (0.002% typ), higher input bias current (800nA), lower PSRR (70dB), but higher output current (38mA) | Better suited for high-current headphone drivers or legacy equipment where cost and availability outweigh fidelity requirements | Choose NE5532DR only when budget constraints dominate and measured THD+N >0.001% is acceptable in target application |
Compared with OPA2134UAE4, the OPA2134PA offers identical electrical performance in a through-hole package but lacks MSL compliance and has inferior thermal dissipation, while the NE5532DR trades significant audio fidelity (10× higher distortion, 160× higher input bias) for cost and output current - making OPA2134UAE4 the optimal choice for fidelity-critical dual-channel audio signal paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended supply voltage for OPA2134UAE4?
The OPA2134UAE4 supports dual-supply operation from ±2.5V to ±18V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying ±18V as the upper limit. Operation beyond ±18V risks permanent damage per TI's SBOS058B datasheet Section 5.1. For reliable long-term use in studio gear, ±15V is the most commonly validated and thermally sustainable condition.
Does OPA2134UAE4 require external compensation capacitors?
No, the OPA2134UAE4 is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation. Its internal compensation ensures stable operation down to G = 1 with capacitive loads up to 100pF, as verified in Figure 5-20 and Section 7.1 of the datasheet. Adding external compensation may degrade bandwidth and transient response.
How does OPA2134UAE4 handle input overvoltage conditions?
The OPA2134UAE4 features diode-clamped inputs rated for ±0.5V beyond supply rails, with absolute maximum input voltage specified as (V–) – 0.5V to (V+) + 0.5V. Exceeding this requires external current limiting to ≤10mA. Critically, it exhibits no phase reversal even with inputs driven 10V beyond rails - a key reliability advantage over legacy FET op-amps like OP176.
Can OPA2134UAE4 drive 600Ω loads effectively?
Yes - the OPA2134UAE4 delivers 0.00015% THD+N into 600Ω at 1kHz (Section 5.7), with output swing limited to ±13.5V at ±15V supply. Its 36mA sourcing/30mA sinking capability ensures stable drive into reactive or low-Z loads, though thermal considerations require attention at sustained high output levels in SOIC-8 packaging.
Is OPA2134UAE4 pin-compatible with other dual op-amps in SOIC-8?
OPA2134UAE4 follows standard SOIC-8 pinout for dual op-amps (pin 1 = OUT A, pin 2 = –IN A, pin 3 = +IN A, pin 4 = V–, pin 5 = +IN B, pin 6 = –IN B, pin 7 = OUT B, pin 8 = V+), matching industry conventions. However, electrical behavior (e.g., FET input, no phase reversal, ultra-low noise) is not replicated by generic SOIC-8 dual op-amps - direct substitution requires validation of THD+N, noise, and input stage compatibility.
