Product details
Overview
OPA2244EA/250 from Texas Instruments (formerly Burr-Brown) is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output, micropower operational amplifier in an MSOP-8 package. It delivers 430kHz gain-bandwidth, 50µA per amplifier quiescent current, and operates from single supplies as low as +2.2V up to +36V - ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation and space-constrained sensor signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2244EA/250 datasheet, OPA2244EA/250 pinout, OPA2244EA/250 application, or OPA2244EA/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include its guaranteed 72dB CMRR over temperature, channel separation of 140dB, unity-gain stability, and operation across –40°C to +85°C without phase inversion or overload recovery issues.
Technical Context
The OPA2244EA/250 uses a proprietary bipolar input stage enabling rail-to-rail input common-mode range (0V to V+–0.9V) and output swing to within 0.2V of rails under 20kΩ load. Its 22nV/√Hz voltage noise and 40fA/√Hz current noise support precision DC-coupled sensing at ultra-low power.
Designed for single-supply operation in portable systems, it features independent dual-amplifier circuitry with no crosstalk degradation even under overload, and maintains stable performance across its full ±1.1V to ±18V dual-supply or +2.2V to +36V single-supply range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 430kHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥1 with bandwidth sufficient for slow-sensing loops (e.g., thermistor, strain gauge). |
| Quiescent Current per Channel | 50µA - enables multi-year battery life in coin-cell–powered devices like portable medical sensors or IoT node front-ends. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1.5mV (typ) - ensures ≤15mV error in 10V full-scale measurement without trimming. |
| Common-Mode Rejection Ratio | 72dB (min, –40°C to +85°C) - rejects supply ripple and shared-noise coupling in single-supply systems. |
| Output Voltage Swing | 0.2V above V– and (V+)–0.75V - delivers >95% of rail-to-rail dynamic range into 20kΩ loads. |
| Channel Separation | 140dB - prevents signal bleed between dual channels in differential sensor pairs or dual-path signal chains. |
| Slew Rate | +0.16V/µs - limits large-signal settling to <150µs for 10V step, suitable for moderate-speed data acquisition. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2244EA/250 is housed in an 8-pin MSOP (VSSOP, DGK) package - 3.0mm × 3.0mm footprint, 0.65mm pitch, 1.1mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | V– | Negative supply rail connection; referenced for all internal biasing and output swing. |
| 2 | +In A | Non-inverting input of Amplifier A; accepts signals from 0V to (V+)–0.9V. |
| 3 | –In A | Inverting input of Amplifier A; used for feedback or differential input configuration. |
| 4 | Out A | Amplifier A output; drives loads down to 20kΩ while maintaining rail-to-rail swing. |
| 5 | Out B | Amplifier B output; electrically isolated from Out A with 140dB channel separation. |
| 6 | –In B | Inverting input of Amplifier B; fully independent, no interaction with Amplifier A. |
| 7 | +In B | Non-inverting input of Amplifier B; identical input range and impedance to +In A. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail; supports operation from +2.2V to +36V with no derating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Enables direct interfacing with low-voltage ADCs and microcontrollers without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Unity-gain stable | Eliminates need for external compensation in buffer, follower, or gain-of-1 configurations. |
| No phase inversion on overdrive | Prevents catastrophic latch-up or signal corruption when inputs exceed common-mode range. |
| Specified over –40°C to +85°C | Guarantees performance in industrial and automotive cabin environments without design margin penalties. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual micropower op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2333AIDR | Zero-drift architecture (0.02µV/°C drift), higher IQ (17µA), lower noise (0.7µVpp), but narrower supply range (1.8V–5.5V). | Preferred for ultra-precision DC measurements below 100Hz where offset drift dominates error budget. | Select OPA2333AIDR only if sub-µV drift and 1.8V operation are required; OPA2244EA/250 better suits wide-supply, cost-sensitive portable designs. |
| MCP6022-I/SN | Higher IQ (100µA), wider GBW (1MHz), lower VOS (250µV max), but reduced CMRR (70dB typ) and no guaranteed rail-to-rail input. | Suitable for higher-speed signal chains where power efficiency is secondary to bandwidth. | Choose MCP6022-I/SN when >500kHz bandwidth is needed; OPA2244EA/250 remains optimal for micropower + rail-to-rail + robust CMRR trade-off. |
Compared with OPA2333AIDR and MCP6022-I/SN, the OPA2244EA/250 uniquely balances ultra-low quiescent current (50µA), rail-to-rail I/O, 430kHz bandwidth, and guaranteed 72dB CMRR across –40°C to +85°C - making it the most versatile dual op-amp for general-purpose battery-powered analog signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA2244EA/250?
The OPA2244EA/250 supports a maximum supply voltage of +36V on single-supply operation or ±18V on dual-supply operation. Absolute maximum ratings specify 36V between V+ and V– pins, with input voltages limited to (V–) – 0.3V to (V+) + 0.3V. Exceeding these limits risks permanent damage. The OPA2244EA/250 maintains full specified performance across its entire +2.6V to +36V range.
Does the OPA2244EA/250 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA2244EA/250 is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. It does not require external capacitors or resistors to maintain stability in voltage-follower, non-inverting, or inverting configurations with gain ≥1. This simplifies layout and reduces BOM count - a key advantage confirmed in the device's typical performance curves and applications information section.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA2244EA/250 in its MSOP-8 package?
The OPA2244EA/250 in the MSOP-8 (DGK) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 200°C/W, as specified in the official datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC high-K test board conditions. Actual board-level θJA will vary based on copper pour, airflow, and layer stackup - designers should verify thermal performance under real operating conditions using the 50µA/channel dissipation.
Can the OPA2244EA/250 drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
The OPA2244EA/250 can drive moderate capacitive loads, but stability depends on load magnitude and closed-loop gain. Typical performance curves show overshoot increases with capacitance - e.g., ~20% overshoot at 100pF with G = +1 and RL = ∞. For loads >100pF, isolation resistors (e.g., 10–50Ω in series with the output) are recommended. The OPA2244EA/250 is not characterized for direct heavy capacitive loading like LCD drivers.
Is the OPA2244EA/250 pin-compatible with other dual op-amps in MSOP-8 packages?
The OPA2244EA/250 follows the industry-standard MSOP-8 pinout (V–, +In A, –In A, Out A, Out B, –In B, +In B, V+), matching TI's own OPA2333, MCP6022, and many generic dual op-amps. However, functional compatibility - including supply range, input range, and output drive - must be verified separately. Pinout alignment alone does not guarantee drop-in replacement.
