Product details
Overview
OPA2344EA/2K5G4 from Texas Instruments is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-power, single-supply precision applications. It features 1 MHz gain-bandwidth, 0.8 V/µs slew rate, ±1 mV max input offset voltage, 150 µA typical quiescent current per amplifier, and operates from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. It is widely used in data acquisition front-ends driving 12-bit ADCs like the ADS7822.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 datasheet, OPA2344EA/2K5G4 pinout, OPA2344EA/2K5G4 application, or OPA2344EA/2K5G4 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail I/O swing within 1 mV of rails, unity-gain stability, THD+N of 0.006%, microamp-level quiescent current, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA2344EA/2K5G4 implements a complementary CMOS input stage-parallel N-channel and P-channel differential pairs-to achieve rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 300 mV beyond both supply rails. Its class AB output stage enables rail-to-rail output swing down to 1 mV at light loads (100 kΩ).
It is unity-gain stable and specified over –40°C to +85°C. The dual-channel architecture shares identical per-amplifier specs-including 122 dB open-loop gain, 92 dB CMRR (at 5.5 V), and 30 nV/√Hz input voltage noise density-enabling matched performance in differential or multi-stage signal chains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - supports stable unity-gain buffering and low-frequency signal conditioning up to ~100 kHz with minimal phase lag. |
| Slew Rate | 0.8 V/µs - enables clean 10 kHz full-scale sine wave output at 2 Vpp without distortion in single-supply systems. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1 mV max - ensures ≤10 mV error in 10 V full-scale instrumentation amplifiers, critical for 12-bit ADC interface accuracy. |
| Quiescent Current | 150 µA per amplifier typ - allows dual-channel operation below 300 µA total, enabling battery-powered data loggers with multi-year runtime. |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.3 V to (V+) + 0.3 V - permits direct interfacing with sensors operating near ground or above V+ (e.g., electret mic bias networks). |
| THD + Noise | 0.006% at 1 kHz - meets audio-grade fidelity requirements for speech bandpass filtering and microphone preamplification. |
| Output Swing | Within 1 mV of rails (RL = 100 kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V systems, preserving >99.9% of available ADC input range. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2344EA/2K5G4 is packaged in an 8-pin MSOP (VSSOP-8, package drawing DGK), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in compact layouts. Pin pitch is 0.5 mm; body dimensions are 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 1.0 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | High-impedance node (10¹³ Ω || 6 pF) accepting differential signals; must be guarded in high-Z sensor interfaces. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier A) | Matches Pin 1 impedance and offset characteristics; used for unity-gain buffers or active filters requiring matched inputs. |
| 3 | Output (Amplifier A) | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±15 mA; drives 600 Ω loads rail-to-rail; requires 0.01 µF bypass capacitor on V+ for stability. |
| 4 | Ground / Negative Supply | Reference return for both amplifiers; must be low-impedance path to minimize crosstalk between channels. |
| 5 | Positive Supply | Accepts 2.7 V to 5.5 V single supply; bypassing with 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor at pin is mandatory for PSRR >130 dB. |
| 6 | Non-Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Electrically identical to Pin 2; enables independent dual-channel configuration without performance trade-offs. |
| 7 | Inverting Input (Amplifier B) | Matches Pin 1; supports fully differential stages when paired with Pin 6 and external feedback network. |
| 8 | Output (Amplifier B) | Independent output with same drive capability as Pin 3; channel separation >120 dB prevents inter-channel distortion in stereo or dual-sensor systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input | Common-mode range extends 300 mV beyond supplies-enables direct connection to 0 V-referenced sensors (e.g., electret mics) without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings to within 1 mV of V+ and V– at high-Z loads-preserves full-scale resolution when driving SAR ADC reference inputs or DAC output buffers. |
| Unity-gain stability | Guaranteed stable at G = 1 without external compensation-simplifies design of precision buffers, active filters, and I/V converters in portable equipment. |
| Low THD+N | 0.006% at 1 kHz supports high-fidelity audio signal paths and low-distortion sensor excitation in metrology-grade data acquisition. |
| Microsize MSOP-8 | 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm footprint saves >60% board area vs SOIC-8-critical for PCMCIA cards, wearable biosensors, and miniaturized test probes. |
Applications
| PCMCIA Data Acquisition Card | Speech Bandpass Filter System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Signal conditioning front-end for 12-bit sampling ADC (e.g., ADS7822) in portable field data loggers using PCMCIA form factor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel buffer and gain stage: Channel A conditions microphone signal; Channel B drives ADC input while rejecting charge injection. Use Value: Rail-to-rail I/O preserves >99.7% of 3.3 V ADC input range; 150 µA per amplifier enables <500 µA total system quiescent current. | Use Scenario: Electret microphone interface with 300 Hz–3 kHz bandpass filtering for voice recording in handheld devices.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2344UA/2K5 | Same silicon, SOIC-8 package (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm); 150 °C/W θJA vs 150 °C/W for MSOP-8; identical electrical specs. | Requires larger PCB area; better suited for prototyping or through-hole rework; not suitable for ultra-compact modules. | Select when board space permits and hand-soldering or socket-based validation is needed. |
| MCP6022-E/SN | 2 MHz GBW, 1.2 V/µs SR, 100 µA IQ; lower input bias current (1 pA typ); not unity-gain stable-requires ≥5 gain for stability. | Higher speed but incompatible with unity-gain buffers; unsuitable for ADC driver applications requiring G = 1. | Choose only for fixed-gain ≥5 signal chains where bandwidth >1 MHz is required and layout allows compensation components. |
Compared with OPA2344UA/2K5, the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 offers identical performance in a 40% smaller footprint-critical for embedded modules-while the MCP6022-E/SN trades unity-gain stability for higher bandwidth, limiting its use in precision buffer roles.

FAQ
What supply voltage range does the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 support?
The OPA2344EA/2K5G4 operates from a single supply of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, with full specifications guaranteed across this range. It can tolerate transient operation down to 2.5 V, making it suitable for Li-ion battery-powered systems where voltage sags occur. Absolute maximum supply is 7.5 V, but sustained operation outside 2.7–5.5 V voids parametric guarantees. The OPA2344EA/2K5G4 maintains rail-to-rail input and output functionality across its entire rated supply range.
Is the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 unity-gain stable?
Yes, the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 is explicitly unity-gain stable, as confirmed in TI's SBOS107A datasheet. It requires no external compensation for stable operation at gain = 1, unlike the OPA2345 family. This makes the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 ideal for buffer configurations, active filters, and ADC driver circuits where minimal external components are essential. Stability is verified under capacitive load conditions up to 250 pF in unity-gain mode.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the OPA2344EA/2K5G4?
The OPA2344EA/2K5G4 features a rail-to-rail input stage with a common-mode voltage range from –0.3 V to (V+) + 0.3 V. This allows direct interfacing with signals that go slightly below ground (e.g., electret microphone outputs) or above the positive rail-provided input current is limited to ≤10 mA. Operation within the transition region (approximately V+ – 1.8 V to V+ – 0.8 V) may degrade PSRR and CMRR, so biasing outside this zone is recommended for highest precision.
How does the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 perform driving capacitive loads?
The OPA2344EA/2K5G4 can directly drive up to 250 pF of pure capacitive load in unity-gain configuration while maintaining stability and <5% overshoot. For heavier loads or improved step response, a 10 Ω–20 Ω series resistor (RS) between output and load is recommended-this isolates the amplifier from capacitance without introducing significant DC error if RL > 10 kΩ. The OPA2344EA/2K5G4's internal compensation ensures robust behavior even with layout parasitics typical in MSOP-8 routing.
What are the thermal characteristics of the OPA2344EA/2K5G4 in its MSOP-8 package?
The OPA2344EA/2K5G4 in MSOP-8 (DGK) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150 °C/W, measured per JEDEC JESD51-7 standard on a 1-inch² 2-layer board with 2 oz copper. With 150 µA per amplifier (300 µA total), power dissipation is ~1.5 mW at 5 V, resulting in negligible junction temperature rise (<0.25 °C) under normal conditions. The exposed thermal pad improves heat transfer-TI recommends soldering it to a thermal plane for high-temperature or high-output-current operation.
