Product details
Overview
OPA2342EA/250 from Texas Instruments is a dual rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-cost, low-power, miniature applications. It operates from 2.7V to 5.5V single supply, delivers 1MHz bandwidth and 1V/µs slew rate, draws only 150µA typical quiescent current per amplifier, and achieves output swing within 1mV of rails under light load-ideal for driving sampling ADCs in portable data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2342EA/250 datasheet, OPA2342EA/250 pinout, OPA2342EA/250 application, or OPA2342EA/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail I/O capability at sub-250µA quiescent current, 1mV output swing specification, MSOP-8 thermal resistance (150°C/W), and verified performance in audio processing and active filter topologies with THD+N = 0.006% at 1kHz.
Technical Context
The OPA2342EA/250 employs a complementary differential input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 300mV beyond both supply rails. Its class AB output stage supports rail-to-rail output swing down to 1mV from rails into 100kΩ loads while maintaining ≥104dB open-loop gain.
Designed for unity-gain stability, it drives up to 250pF capacitive loads directly and supports fast settling (5µs to 0.1%) with minimal overshoot. Channel separation exceeds 132dB at DC and remains >100dB up to 100kHz, ensuring minimal crosstalk in dual-channel signal conditioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - enables direct integration into 3.3V and 5V systems without level-shifting |
| Quiescent Current (per amp) | 150µA typ - allows battery-powered operation for >1 year in µA-budget designs |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain up to 100× at 10kHz with adequate phase margin |
| Slew Rate | 1V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of 159kHz full-scale sine waves without distortion |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1mV max (typ) - minimizes DC error in precision I/V conversion and sensor front-ends |
| THD + Noise | 0.006% at 1kHz - meets high-fidelity audio and measurement-grade signal chain requirements |
| Output Swing (vs rail) | 1mV into 100kΩ - preserves >99.9% of dynamic range in 3.3V single-supply systems |
Pinout & Package
OPA2342EA/250 is packaged in an 8-pin VSSOP (MSOP-8) package with 150°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts and automated assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Channel A) | Differential node for negative feedback path; accepts rail-to-rail common-mode voltage |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Channel A) | Reference input for Channel A; supports input down to –0.3V below V– |
| 3 | Output (Channel A) | Rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ±15mA; swings within 1mV of rails into 100kΩ |
| 4 | V– (Ground/–VS) | Power return for both amplifiers; must be low-impedance for PSRR integrity |
| 5 | V+ (+VS) | Positive supply rail; requires local 0.01µF ceramic bypass to ground |
| 6 | Non-Inverting Input (Channel B) | Independent reference input for Channel B; identical specs and biasing to Pin 2 |
| 7 | Inverting Input (Channel B) | Independent differential node for Channel B feedback; fully isolated from Channel A |
| 8 | Output (Channel B) | Second rail-to-rail output; channel separation >132dB prevents signal coupling in dual-path designs |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual rail-to-rail operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6022-I/SN | Higher 10MHz GBW but 1mA IQ; SO-8 only; no MSOP-8 option | Better for higher-frequency active filters; less suitable for ultra-low-power battery operation | Select when bandwidth >1MHz required and power budget allows 6.7× higher IQ |
| AD8602ARMZ | Lower 0.25mV VOS max but 240µA IQ; same MSOP-8 footprint; 8MHz GBW | Preferred for precision sensor front-ends where offset dominates error budget | Select when offset voltage <0.5mV is mandatory and 1.6× higher IQ is acceptable |
Compared with MCP6022-I/SN and AD8602ARMZ, the OPA2342EA/250 uniquely balances 1MHz bandwidth, 150µA quiescent current, and MSOP-8 packaging-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, battery-powered data acquisition where 0.006% THD+N and 1mV rail swing are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA2342EA/250?
The OPA2342EA/250 has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7.5V between V+ and V–, but its specified operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V. Operation outside this range may cause parametric degradation or permanent damage. The device is optimized for stable performance at 3.3V and 5V nominal supplies, with guaranteed specs over –40°C to +85°C ambient.
Does the OPA2342EA/250 support true rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, the OPA2342EA/250 supports rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 300mV beyond both supply rails and rail-to-rail output swing within 1mV of the rails into 100kΩ loads. This simultaneous capability enables full-scale signal handling in single-supply systems without level-shifting circuitry, preserving dynamic range in applications like microphone preamplifiers and sensor interfaces.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA2342EA/250 in its MSOP-8 package?
The OPA2342EA/250 in the VSSOP (MSOP-8) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W, as specified in the TI SBOS106A datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. Proper PCB layout with thermal vias and copper pour can improve actual thermal performance in high-ambient environments.
Can the OPA2342EA/250 drive capacitive loads without external compensation?
Yes, the OPA2342EA/250 is unity-gain stable and can directly drive up to 250pF of pure capacitive load in unity-gain configuration. For larger capacitive loads or improved phase margin, a small series resistor (10Ω–20Ω) between the output and load is recommended. This maintains DC accuracy while suppressing ringing, as validated in TI's typical performance curves.
What is the channel separation specification for the OPA2342EA/250, and why does it matter?
The OPA2342EA/250 provides ≥132dB channel separation at DC, decreasing to >100dB at 100kHz. This high isolation ensures that signals on Channel A do not couple into Channel B through internal substrate or power rails-critical in stereo audio, differential sensor pairs, and dual-path data acquisition where crosstalk would corrupt measurement integrity or audio imaging.
