Product details
Overview
OPA2137EA/2K5 from Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) is a dual FET-input operational amplifier in MSOP-8 package, delivering 5 pA input bias current, 1.5 mV max input offset voltage, 1 MHz gain-bandwidth, ±2.25 V to ±18 V supply range, and 220 µA per channel quiescent current. It serves precision signal conditioning in battery-powered instruments and photodetector front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2137EA/2K5 datasheet, OPA2137EA/2K5 pinout, OPA2137EA/2K5 application, or OPA2137EA/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail input capability (extends to V+), low power consumption, high common-mode rejection (76 dB), and guaranteed performance from –40°C to +85°C in miniature surface-mount packaging.
Technical Context
The OPA2137EA/2K5 implements a JFET-input stage enabling ultra-low input bias current and wide common-mode input range up to the positive supply rail. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports precision integrators and strain gage amplifiers without external compensation.
Each amplifier operates independently with no crosstalk-channel separation exceeds 120 dB at DC-making it suitable for dual-path sensor interfaces where signal integrity across channels is critical. Input voltage noise is 45 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, and slew rate is 3.5 V/µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Bias Current | ±5 pA - enables high-impedance sensor interfacing (e.g., photodiodes, piezoelectric elements) without significant error. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5 mV (max) - ensures ≤0.01% gain error in 100× amplification of mV-level signals. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - supports stable closed-loop operation up to 100 kHz at G = 10 with adequate phase margin. |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±2.25 V to ±18 V - accommodates single-supply (4.5–36 V) and split-supply systems including industrial ±15 V rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 220 µA per channel - allows dual-channel precision amplification in sub-500 µA total system standby budgets. |
| Common-Mode Input Range | (V−) + 3 V to V+ - permits direct sensing of signals referenced to positive rail (e.g., high-side current monitoring). |
| Open-Loop Gain | 94 dB - provides ≥10,000 V/V loop gain for accurate closed-loop gain setting with <0.1% error at G = 100. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2137EA/2K5 is packaged in an 8-pin MSOP (VSSOP-8, package drawing DGK), measuring 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm with 0.65 mm pitch. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V− | Negative supply rail connection; must be decoupled with ≥10 nF ceramic capacitor near pin. |
| 2 | Inverting Input B | Inverting input of second amplifier; accepts common-mode voltages up to V+. |
| 3 | Non-inverting Input B | Non-inverting input of second amplifier; internally diode-clamped to V+ and V− for ESD protection. |
| 4 | Output B | Amplified output of second channel; drives loads up to 1000 pF capacitively. |
| 5 | Output A | Amplified output of first channel; independent from Output B with no crosstalk. |
| 6 | Inverting Input A | Inverting input of first amplifier; identical electrical behavior to Pin 2. |
| 7 | Non-inverting Input A | Non-inverting input of first amplifier; identical electrical behavior to Pin 3. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail connection; requires local 10 nF bypass capacitor to minimize PSRR degradation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-input architecture | 5 pA input bias current enables use with >1 GΩ source impedances without measurable offset drift. |
| Rail-to-rail input common-mode range | Input operates up to V+, eliminating need for level-shifting in high-side current-sense applications. |
| Independent dual-channel design | No interaction between channels-even under overload or short-circuit-ensures reliability in multi-sensor systems. |
| Unity-gain stability | Operates stably at G = 1 without external compensation, simplifying active filter and buffer designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual FET-input op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2134UA/2K5 | Lower input bias current (1 pA), higher GBW (8 MHz), higher IQ (4 mA/channel), SO-8 only. | Higher speed and lower bias suit audio preamps; unsuitable for ultra-low-power battery systems. | Select when bandwidth >1 MHz and bias <5 pA are required, and power budget allows >3 mA total. |
| TL072CDR | Higher input bias (30 pA), higher offset (10 mV), lower PSRR (70 dB), same SO-8 package. | Cost-optimized general-purpose use; not suitable for high-impedance or precision DC-coupled designs. | Select for non-critical AC-coupled applications where cost is primary and input impedance >100 MΩ is not required. |
Compared with OPA2137EA/2K5, OPA2134UA/2K5 offers superior speed and bias performance at significantly higher power cost, while TL072CDR trades precision and input impedance for cost and availability-neither is pin-compatible, and both require layout changes and recalibration.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA2137EA/2K5 can drive without instability?
The OPA2137EA/2K5 is specified to drive up to 1000 pF capacitive load while maintaining stability and specified settling time. For loads exceeding 100 pF, a small series resistor (10–50 Ω) between output and load is recommended to isolate capacitive reactance and preserve phase margin. This value is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and validated in Typical Performance Curves.
Does the OPA2137EA/2K5 exhibit phase reversal when inputs exceed the common-mode range?
No, the OPA2137EA/2K5 does not exhibit phase reversal when inputs exceed the common-mode range. Unlike many older FET-input op-amps (e.g., TL061), its input stage is designed to avoid output polarity inversion even when inputs go beyond (V−)+3 V or below V+, ensuring safe operation in voltage-follower configurations and control loops.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA2137EA/2K5 in its MSOP-8 package?
For the OPA2137EA/2K5 in the MSOP-8 (VSSOP-8) package, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W under standard JEDEC PCB conditions (2-layer board, 1 in² copper). This value is explicitly listed in the "Thermal Resistance" section of the datasheet and applies to the DGK package drawing used for OPA2137EA/2K5.
Can the OPA2137EA/2K5 operate from a single +5 V supply?
Yes, the OPA2137EA/2K5 supports single-supply operation from +4.5 V to +36 V. At +5 V, the input common-mode range extends from (V−)+3 V = +3 V to V+ = +5 V, and output swings from ~+1.2 V to ~+3.9 V. Proper input biasing within this window and output load considerations are required for linear operation.
Is the OPA2137EA/2K5 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the OPA2137EA/2K5 is RoHS-compliant and lead-free. Per TI's Package Option Addendum, it carries a "Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br)" eco plan with NIPDAU lead finish and complies with JEDEC MSL Level-3 moisture sensitivity classification for surface-mount reflow processing.
