Product details
Overview
OPA227U/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, high-precision, low-noise operational amplifier in an SOIC-8 package, delivering 8 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 2.3 V/µs slew rate, and 3 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density. It features 138 dB CMRR, 160 dB open-loop gain, and ±75 µV max input offset voltage, enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in data acquisition front-ends and professional audio preamplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA227U/2K5 datasheet, OPA227U/2K5 pinout, OPA227U/2K5 application, or OPA227U/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unity-gain stability, low 10 nA max input bias current, wide ±2.5 V to ±18 V dual-supply operation, and validated performance across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The OPA227U/2K5 implements a precision bipolar input stage with internal offset trim capability (Pins 1 and 8), supporting dc-critical applications requiring long-term stability and minimal thermal drift. Its unity-gain stable architecture eliminates need for external compensation in G = 1 configurations, while maintaining 5 µs settling time to 0.1% for 10-V steps.
Unlike the higher-speed OPA228 family, the OPA227U/2K5 is optimized for general-purpose precision amplification - not minimum-gain-constrained designs - and shares pin compatibility with industry-standard OP27/OP37 op amps, enabling drop-in upgrades with improved noise, gain, and PSRR performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth | 8 MHz unity-gain bandwidth enables accurate amplification of signals up to audio and low-MHz instrumentation frequencies without phase loss. |
| Slew Rate | 2.3 V/µs supports clean reproduction of fast transients in sensor interfaces and DAC output buffers without slew-induced distortion. |
| Input Noise Density | 3 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz ensures minimal added noise in low-level signal chains such as strain gauge or thermocouple amplifiers. |
| CMRR | 138 dB common-mode rejection suppresses power supply ripple and ground noise in single-supply or noisy industrial environments. |
| Offset Voltage | ±75 µV maximum (U-grade) guarantees sub-100 µV dc error in precision gain stages, reducing calibration burden in production test. |
| Supply Range | ±2.5 V to ±18 V dual supply allows flexible integration into legacy ±5 V, ±12 V, or ±15 V systems without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating validates use in factory automation, test equipment, and outdoor instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
OPA227U/2K5 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with standard dual-op-amp pinout. Thermal resistance RθJA is 110.1°C/W, requiring moderate PCB copper area for thermal management in continuous high-output-current operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Trim A | Adjusts input offset voltage for Channel A; leave floating if unused - no external connection required for standard operation. |
| 2 | Inverting Input A | Primary negative feedback node for Channel A; high-impedance input accepts signals from sensors or DACs without loading. |
| 3 | Noninverting Input A | Reference input for Channel A; matched impedance to Pin 2 minimizes thermal EMF errors in precision dc circuits. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply rail shared by both amplifiers; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near the pin. |
| 5 | Noninverting Input B | Reference input for Channel B; electrically isolated from Channel A but shares same V− and V+ rails. |
| 6 | Inverting Input B | Negative feedback node for Channel B; identical electrical characteristics to Pin 2 for matched dual-channel performance. |
| 7 | Output B | Amplified output of Channel B; capable of ±45 mA short-circuit current and rail-to-rail swing within 2 V of supplies. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply rail shared by both amplifiers; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to maintain PSRR above 110 dB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unity-gain stable | Operates reliably at G = 1 without external compensation, simplifying design of buffer, integrator, and active filter stages. |
| Low 10 nA max input bias current | Minimizes voltage error across high-value feedback resistors (e.g., >100 kΩ), preserving gain accuracy in high-Z sensor interfaces. |
| 160 dB open-loop gain | Enables <0.001% gain error in closed-loop configurations using 10 kΩ–100 kΩ resistor networks, critical for calibrated measurement systems. |
| Pin-compatible with OP27/OP37 | Direct replacement in existing designs without PCB layout changes, delivering immediate noise, speed, and precision improvements. |
| 0.1 µV/°C max offset drift | Reduces thermal-induced calibration drift in uncooled enclosures, extending recalibration intervals in field-deployed instruments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA227P | DIP-8 package; higher RθJA (48.9°C/W vs. 110.1°C/W); same electrical specs. | Better suited for prototyping or through-hole manufacturing; less suitable for high-density PCBs. | Select OPA227P only when manual assembly or breadboard validation is required. |
| OPA2227U | Dual-channel variant with identical SOIC-8 footprint but different internal trimming and tighter offset drift (±0.1 µV/°C typical). | Targeted at metrology-grade instruments where long-term calibration stability is prioritized over cost. | Choose OPA2227U when drift-critical applications demand <0.2 µV/°C max drift over full temperature range. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for OPA227U/2K5?
The OPA227U/2K5 supports dual-supply operation from ±2.5 V to ±18 V, with absolute maximum ratings specifying ±18 V. Exceeding ±18 V risks permanent damage. For reliable long-term operation, TI recommends staying within ±15 V under normal conditions, especially at elevated temperatures.
Is OPA227U/2K5 unity-gain stable?
Yes, the OPA227U/2K5 is explicitly unity-gain stable per TI's SBOS110C datasheet. It does not require external compensation for G = 1 configurations, unlike the OPA228 family. This makes OPA227U/2K5 ideal for voltage followers, active filters, and precision buffers without added complexity.
Does OPA227U/2K5 have internal ESD protection?
Yes, OPA227U/2K5 includes on-chip ESD protection rated at 1000 V HBM and 250 V CDM per JEDEC standards. While this enables robust handling during assembly, TI still recommends standard ESD precautions - including grounded workstations and ionized air - during PCB handling and reflow.
Can OPA227U/2K5 drive capacitive loads?
OPA227U/2K5 can drive moderate capacitive loads (≤100 pF) stably in unity-gain configuration. For larger loads (e.g., >500 pF), TI recommends adding a small isolation resistor (10–50 Ω) in series with the output to maintain phase margin. Figure 6-26 in the datasheet quantifies overshoot vs. load capacitance.
What is the quiescent current of OPA227U/2K5?
The OPA227U/2K5 draws ±3.7 mA to ±3.8 mA per amplifier at room temperature (25°C) and ±15 V supply, totaling ~7.6 mA for both channels. Quiescent current increases slightly with temperature and supply voltage, reaching ±4.2 mA per amplifier at +85°C.
