Product details
Overview
OPA2228U/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a dual, high-precision, low-noise operational amplifier optimized for closed-loop gains ≥5, delivering 33 MHz gain-bandwidth product, 11 V/µs slew rate, and 3 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz - used in professional audio preamplifiers, spectral analysis front-ends, and precision data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2228U/2K5 datasheet, OPA2228U/2K5 pinout, OPA2228U/2K5 application, or OPA2228U/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include closed-loop stability at G ≥ 5, thermal drift performance (±0.3 µV/°C max), rail-to-rail output swing capability under ±15 V supply, and SOIC-8 package compatibility with space-constrained analog signal chains.
Technical Context
The OPA2228U/2K5 implements a fully compensated, bipolar-input op-amp architecture with internal frequency compensation tailored for stable operation at closed-loop gains of 5 V/V or higher. Its 33 MHz GBW and 11 V/µs slew rate enable fast settling (1.5 µs to 0.1% at G = 5) without external compensation components.
It features matched dual-channel topology with 0.2 µV/V channel separation, differential input impedance of 10⁷ Ω || 12 pF, and common-mode rejection of 138 dB at DC - enabling high-fidelity differential signal conditioning in noisy industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain Bandwidth Product | 33 MHz - supports stable closed-loop amplification up to 33 MHz at unity gain, but designed for optimal performance at G ≥ 5. |
| Slew Rate | 11 V/µs - enables accurate reproduction of fast transient signals (e.g., audio transients, pulse edges) without slew-induced distortion. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3 nV/√Hz @ 1 kHz - ensures minimal added noise in low-level sensor signal amplification (e.g., piezoelectric, strain gauge). |
| Input Bias Current | ±10 nA max - compatible with high-impedance source networks (e.g., photodiode transimpedance stages) without significant offset error. |
| CMRR | 138 dB - rejects common-mode interference in differential measurement setups (e.g., bridge sensors, ECG front-ends). |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±18 V - supports operation from low-power portable systems (±2.5 V) to high-dynamic-range instrumentation (±18 V). |
| Offset Voltage | ±75 µV max - guarantees sub-100 µV DC error in precision DC-coupled gain stages without trimming. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2228U/2K5 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package measuring 4.90 mm × 3.91 mm, optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance (RθJA = 101.9 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Out A | Output channel A | Amplified signal output for first op-amp channel; drives loads ≥ 600 Ω with ±3.5 V swing under ±15 V supply. |
| –In A | Inverting input channel A | Negative feedback node for channel A; accepts input signals within (V–)+2 V to (V+)-2 V common-mode range. |
| +In A | Noninverting input channel A | Positive input node for channel A; high-impedance (10⁹ Ω || 3 pF) interface for reference or sensor signals. |
| V– | Negative power supply | Lowest potential rail; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor near pin for stable high-frequency operation. |
| +In B | Noninverting input channel B | Independent positive input for second op-amp channel; electrically isolated from channel A with 0.2 µV/V crosstalk. |
| –In B | Inverting input channel B | Independent negative feedback node for channel B; supports identical configuration as channel A. |
| Out B | Output channel B | Second independent output; matches Out A in AC/DC performance and load drive capability. |
| V+ | Positive power supply | Highest potential rail; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to suppress supply noise coupling into analog signal path. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA228UA | Same die, SOIC-8 package, identical electrical specs - differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (U vs U/2K5) and test screening. | No functional difference; both rated for –40°C to +85°C operation and share identical qualification data. | Select OPA2228U/2K5 for standard 2k-unit reel; choose OPA228UA for single-unit sampling or alternate packaging requirements. |
| AD827ARZ | Higher input bias current (±500 nA), lower CMRR (100 dB), wider noise floor (6 nV/√Hz), but unity-gain stable and faster (50 MHz GBW). | Better suited for unity-gain video buffers or wideband non-inverting stages where speed outweighs DC precision. | Choose AD827ARZ only when unity-gain stability is mandatory and 3 nV/√Hz noise is not required; not drop-in for OPA2228U/2K5 in precision DC-coupled designs. |
Compared with OPA2228U/2K5, OPA228UA offers identical performance in a different packaging format, while AD827ARZ trades DC precision and noise for broader bandwidth and unity-gain stability - making it unsuitable as a direct replacement in closed-loop G ≥ 5 precision applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum closed-loop gain for stable operation of the OPA2228U/2K5?
The OPA2228U/2K5 is optimized for stable operation at closed-loop gains of 5 V/V or greater. It is not unity-gain stable; attempting G = 1 may cause peaking or oscillation. For unity-gain applications, TI recommends the OPA227 series instead. The 5-V/V minimum ensures phase margin remains >60° across temperature and process variations, as verified in the SBOS110B datasheet.
Does the OPA2228U/2K5 require external compensation capacitors?
No, the OPA2228U/2K5 does not require external compensation capacitors when used at closed-loop gains of 5 V/V or higher. Its internal compensation is factory-set for this gain range. Adding external capacitance may degrade stability or bandwidth. Decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF ceramic) are required on V+ and V– pins, but these serve power integrity - not frequency compensation.
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA2228U/2K5 can drive without instability?
The OPA2228U/2K5 can safely drive up to 100 pF capacitive load in unity-gain follower configuration, but for closed-loop gains ≥5, it supports ≥1000 pF with proper layout (short traces, ground plane). Figure 26 in SBOS110B shows <10% overshoot at G = 10 with 1000 pF. For >1000 pF, isolation resistor (10–50 Ω) between output and load is recommended to maintain stability.
How does the OPA2228U/2K5 compare to the OPA2227U/2K5 in terms of noise and bandwidth?
The OPA2228U/2K5 delivers 33 MHz GBW and 11 V/µs slew rate versus the OPA2227U/2K5's 8 MHz GBW and 2.3 V/µs - a 4× speed increase. Both share identical 3 nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1 kHz and 90 nVP-P 0.1–10 Hz noise. The OPA2228U/2K5 achieves higher speed without sacrificing noise, making it ideal for wideband precision applications where the OPA2227U/2K5 would limit system bandwidth.
Is the OPA2228U/2K5 pin-compatible with legacy OP-37 op-amps?
Yes, the OPA2228U/2K5 is a pin-for-pin replacement for the OP-37 in SOIC-8 and PDIP-8 packages, as confirmed in the SBOS110B datasheet. It improves upon the OP-37 with lower input offset voltage (±75 µV vs ±125 µV), lower noise (3 nV/√Hz vs 4.5 nV/√Hz), and higher slew rate (11 V/µs vs 10 V/µs), while maintaining identical pin functions and supply voltage compatibility.
