Product details
Overview
OPA2344UA from Texas Instruments is a dual, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-power, single-supply precision applications. It delivers 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 - enabling high dynamic range signal conditioning in space-constrained data acquisition systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2344UA datasheet, OPA2344UA pinout, OPA2344UA application, or OPA2344UA equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package terminal mapping, real-world use cases in audio and sensor interfaces, and validated alternative options for design flexibility and supply continuity.
Technical Context
The OPA2344UA employs a complementary CMOS input stage enabling rail-to-rail input common-mode range extending 300 mV beyond both supply rails, with a 400 mV transition region where both N- and P-channel pairs are active. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports G = 1 configurations without external compensation.
It features a class AB rail-to-rail output stage capable of swinging within 1 mV of either rail under light loads (100 kΩ), maintaining ≥96 dB open-loop gain. Input bias current is ultra-low (±10 pA max), and THD+N is 0.006% at 1 kHz, making it suitable for high-fidelity analog front-ends driving SAR ADCs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1 MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffering and low-frequency filtering up to ~100 kHz with <1 dB gain error. |
| Slew Rate | 0.8 V/µs - supports 100 kHz full-scale sine output at 5 Vpp without distortion in G = 1 configuration. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±1 mV max - ensures ≤0.02% gain error in 50× instrumentation amplifier topologies at room temperature. |
| Quiescent Current | 150 µA per amplifier typ - allows dual-channel operation at <300 µA total, ideal for battery-powered DAQ nodes. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | –0.3 V to (V+) + 0.3 V - permits direct interfacing with 0–5 V sensors and microcontroller ADC references without level-shifting. |
| Output Voltage Swing | Within 1 mV of rails (RL = 100 kΩ) - maximizes usable dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V single-supply systems. |
| THD + Noise | 0.006% at 1 kHz - meets audio-grade signal integrity requirements for microphone preamplifiers and voice-band filters. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2344UA is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package (Package Drawing D), RoHS-compliant, with moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 2–260°C–1 year. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Out A | Amplifier A output - drives ADC input or next-stage filter; rail-to-rail swing supports full-scale signal delivery. |
| 2 | –In A | Inverting input of Amp A - used in transimpedance or inverting gain configurations; high-impedance CMOS node. |
| 3 | +In A | Non-inverting input of Amp A - accepts rail-to-rail common-mode signals; critical for unity-gain buffer stability. |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply / ground reference - must be bypassed with 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor near pin for PSRR optimization. |
| 5 | Out B | Amplifier B output - independent channel for dual-path signal processing (e.g., differential driver or dual-sensor interface). |
| 6 | –In B | Inverting input of Amp B - electrically isolated from Amp A; enables simultaneous dual-channel closed-loop control. |
| 7 | +In B | Non-inverting input of Amp B - identical input characteristics to Pin 3; supports matched dual-channel gain stages. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply - accepts 2.7 V to 5.5 V; internal ESD clamps require input signals to stay within (V–) –0.5 V to (V+) +0.5 V. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2343UA | Lower quiescent current (85 µA typ), reduced GBW (0.55 MHz), same SOIC-8 package and pinout. | Better suited for ultra-low-power (<200 µA total) applications where bandwidth ≤50 kHz is sufficient. | Select OPA2343UA when battery life is prioritized over speed; verify stability with capacitive loads due to lower phase margin. |
| MCP6022-I/SN | Higher GBW (10 MHz), higher IQ (1 mA typ), same SOIC-8 pinout but different input offset (2.5 mV max) and no guaranteed rail-to-rail input. | Preferred for higher-speed signal chains (e.g., active filters above 100 kHz) where power budget allows. | Choose MCP6022-I/SN only if bandwidth >1 MHz is required and supply current >1 mA is acceptable; confirm input common-mode range compatibility. |
Compared with OPA2344UA, OPA2343UA offers deeper power savings at reduced speed, while MCP6022-I/SN trades 6.7× higher current for 10× bandwidth - making OPA2344UA the optimal balance for precision, low-power, dual-channel signal conditioning in 2.7–5.5 V systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA2344UA?
The OPA2344UA has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 7.5 V between V+ and V– pins. However, its specified operating range is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Operating outside this range may cause parametric degradation or reliability issues. The device is fully characterized and guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C only within the 2.7–5.5 V window, and all published specs (e.g., GBW, IQ, offset) apply strictly within this range. Always observe the 0.5 V input voltage limit beyond rails.
Is the OPA2344UA unity-gain stable?
Yes, the OPA2344UA is explicitly unity-gain stable, as confirmed in the official TI SBOS107A datasheet. It requires no external compensation for G = 1 configurations, including voltage followers and non-inverting buffers. This stability is achieved through internal frequency compensation optimized for the OPA344/2344/4344 family. The OPA2344UA maintains phase margin >60° at unity gain, enabling robust performance with capacitive loads up to 250 pF when combined with proper PCB layout and supply decoupling.
Does the OPA2344UA support rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, the OPA2344UA supports true rail-to-rail input and output operation. Its input common-mode voltage range extends from (V–) –0.3 V to (V+) + 0.3 V, and its output can swing within 1 mV of either rail under light loads (100 kΩ). This dual rail-to-rail capability allows full utilization of the supply range in single-supply systems - for example, accepting a 0–5 V sensor signal and delivering a clean 0–5 V output to an ADC without level-shifting circuitry. Performance remains specified across –40°C to +85°C.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA2344UA in SOIC-8 package?
The OPA2344UA in SOIC-8 (Package Drawing D) has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W, as documented in the TI SBOS107A datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. With a maximum junction temperature of 150°C and ambient temperature up to +85°C, the device can dissipate up to 433 mW continuously (ΔT/θJA). At typical operation (5.5 V, 300 µA total IQ), power dissipation is ~1.65 mW - well within safe limits even in enclosed environments.
Can the OPA2344UA drive ADC inputs directly?
Yes, the OPA2344UA is specifically optimized for driving sampling ADC inputs, as highlighted in TI's Applications Information section. Its rail-to-rail output, low output impedance, and fast settling time (5 µs to 0.1%) allow it to settle a 2 V step into the ADC's dynamic input capacitance without introducing acquisition errors. Figure 6 and Figure 7 in the SBOS107A datasheet demonstrate direct interfacing with the ADS7822 12-bit SAR ADC - confirming reliable performance in real-world data acquisition systems using the OPA2344UA.
