Product details
Overview
OPA2348AIDCNT from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-power, single-supply sensor signal conditioning and ADC driver applications. It delivers 1 MHz gain-bandwidth, 45 µA per amplifier quiescent current, 0.5 pA input bias current, and operates from 2.1 V to 5.5 V - enabling use in battery-powered smoke alarms, CO detectors, and portable medical instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2348AIDCNT datasheet, OPA2348AIDCNT pinout, OPA2348AIDCNT application, or OPA2348AIDCNT equivalent, key selection criteria include its ultra-low IQ, rail-to-rail I/O swing within 25 mV of rails, extended common-mode range (V– –0.2 V to V+ +0.2 V), and validated performance driving 12-bit SAR ADCs like ADS7822 in space-constrained SOT-23-8 layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA2348AIDCNT uses a complementary N/P-channel input stage enabling rail-to-rail input operation with no phase inversion beyond supply rails when input current is limited to ≤10 mA. Its class AB output stage supports rail-to-rail output swing - typically within 18 mV of rails at light loads (100 kΩ) and 100 mV at 5 kΩ - while maintaining >90 dB open-loop gain.
It is unity-gain stable and capable of directly driving up to 250 pF capacitive loads; stability under heavier capacitive loading is enhanced by series output resistance or feedback capacitance compensation. The device is fully specified across –40°C to +125°C and 2.1 V to 5.5 V supply range, with offset voltage drift of 4 µV/°C and PSRR of 175 µV/V (typ) at 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Channels | Dual - enables compact two-signal paths (e.g., differential sensor pairs or dual ADC channels) without doubling board area. |
| Gain-bandwidth product | 1 MHz - sufficient for settling 12-bit ADC inputs (e.g., ADS7822) within 5 µs for 0.1% accuracy at 5.5 V supply. |
| Quiescent current per channel | 45 µA (typ) - allows continuous operation for >1 year on a single CR2032 coin cell in smoke alarm standby mode. |
| Input bias current | 0.5 pA (typ) - preserves signal integrity from high-impedance sources (e.g., electret microphones, pH electrodes). |
| Rail-to-rail input range | V– –0.2 V to V+ +0.2 V - accepts signals beyond supply rails, simplifying level-shifting in single-supply systems. |
| Output voltage swing | Within 18 mV of rails (100 kΩ load) - maximizes dynamic range into 0–VREF ADC inputs without external level translation. |
| Operating supply voltage | 2.1 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, 3.3 V logic, or 5 V legacy rails without LDO overhead. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2348AIDCNT is housed in an 8-pin SOT-23 (DCN) package measuring 2.90 mm × 1.63 mm × 1.10 mm, optimized for high-density PCB layouts in portable and safety-critical equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT A | Amplifier A output | Drives downstream load (e.g., ADC input); requires local 0.01 µF bypass capacitor to GND for stability. |
| 2 - –IN A | Inverting input, channel A | Accepts inverted signal path; matched impedance to +IN A minimizes common-mode error in differential configurations. |
| 3 - +IN A | Noninverting input, channel A | High-impedance node (10¹³ Ω || 3 pF); sensitive to PCB leakage - keep trace short and guard-ring routed. |
| 4 - V– | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance return path shared with ADC and bypass caps. |
| 5 - +IN B | Noninverting input, channel B | Independent high-Z input for second sensor or reference path; electrically isolated from channel A except via shared V–/V+. |
| 6 - –IN B | Inverting input, channel B | Supports dual-channel instrumentation (e.g., active filter + buffer) without cross-talk above 134 dB at DC. |
| 7 - OUT B | Amplifier B output | Provides second buffered output; layout symmetry with OUT A reduces thermal mismatch in precision applications. |
| 8 - V+ | Positive supply | Primary power entry; decouple with 0.01 µF ceramic cap placed <1 mm from pin to minimize supply-induced noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 45 µA per amplifier enables multi-year battery life in always-on safety sensors without duty cycling. |
| Rail-to-rail input with no phase inversion | Inputs tolerate up to 0.5 V beyond supplies when current-limited - eliminates need for external clamping diodes in overvoltage-prone environments. |
| Extended temperature range | Specified from –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and fire alarm enclosures. |
| Low input offset voltage drift | 4 µV/°C max ensures <±60 µV total drift over full temperature range - critical for uncalibrated analog front-ends. |
| Unity-gain stable with capacitive load drive | Drives 250 pF directly; supports RC anti-aliasing filters and long traces to remote ADCs without external compensation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6022-I/SN | Higher IQ (180 µA/channel), lower GBW (10 MHz), same SOT-23-8 package; input bias current 1 pA (vs. 0.5 pA). | Better for higher-speed filtering but increases battery drain 4×; less suitable for multi-year coin-cell operation. | Select MCP6022-I/SN only if >1 MHz bandwidth or faster settling is required and power budget permits. |
| TLV2462IDR | Higher IQ (550 µA/channel), rail-to-rail I/O, SOIC-8 only (no SOT-23-8); offset drift 10 µV/°C (vs. 4 µV/°C). | Not suitable for ultra-low-power designs; larger footprint limits portable use; higher drift impacts uncalibrated sensors. | Choose TLV2462IDR only for legacy SOIC-8 compatibility or where higher drive strength justifies power penalty. |
Compared with MCP6022-I/SN and TLV2462IDR, OPA2348AIDCNT offers the lowest quiescent current among SOT-23-8 dual op amps with verified 12-bit ADC driver performance, making it optimal for space- and energy-constrained safety and portable instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA2348AIDCNT can drive in unity-gain configuration?
The OPA2348AIDCNT can directly drive up to 250 pF of pure capacitive load while maintaining stability in unity-gain configuration. For loads exceeding this value, a small series resistor (10–20 Ω) between the output and capacitive node restores phase margin without degrading DC accuracy - a technique validated in TI's SBOS213H datasheet Figure 22. This capability makes OPA2348AIDCNT suitable for driving ADC input capacitors and long PCB traces in compact sensor modules.
Does the OPA2348AIDCNT support true rail-to-rail input operation beyond the supply rails?
Yes - the OPA2348AIDCNT features a complementary N/P-channel input stage that extends the common-mode input range to V– –0.2 V and V+ +0.2 V. Inputs may safely exceed supply rails by up to 0.5 V provided input current is limited to ≤10 mA (e.g., using a series resistor), with no phase inversion or latch-up. This behavior is explicitly confirmed in Section 7.3.3 of the SBOS213H datasheet and enables simplified interfacing with overvoltage-tolerant sensors without external protection diodes.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the OPA2348AIDCNT?
The OPA2348AIDCNT is fully specified and tested across –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with all electrical parameters (including offset voltage, GBW, and IQ) guaranteed over this range at supply voltages from 2.1 V to 5.5 V. This extended qualification supports deployment in harsh environments such as automotive engine compartments, industrial control cabinets, and fire alarm housings - a key differentiator versus commercial-grade op amps rated only to +85°C.
Can the OPA2348AIDCNT be used to drive the ADS7822 12-bit ADC?
Yes - the OPA2348AIDCNT is explicitly referenced in TI's application circuit for the ADS7822 (see datasheet page 16, Figure 24), where it conditions electret microphone signals prior to ADC conversion. Its 1 MHz bandwidth, 5 µs 0.1% settling time, rail-to-rail output swing, and low output impedance ensure accurate charging of the ADS7822's internal sampling capacitor without missing codes or distortion - making OPA2348AIDCNT a proven, production-ready ADC driver.
What package type is used for the OPA2348AIDCNT and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The OPA2348AIDCNT uses the 8-pin SOT-23 (DCN) package, with nominal body dimensions of 2.90 mm × 1.63 mm × 1.10 mm and lead pitch of 0.65 mm. This micro-size footprint enables high-density placement in portable and safety-critical equipment where board space is constrained - such as smoke alarm PCBs and wearable medical sensors - while maintaining standard reflow compatibility and hand-solderability.
