Product details
Overview
OPA2684ID from Texas Instruments is a dual, low-power, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for high-speed video and broadband signal conditioning. It delivers 170MHz bandwidth at G = +2, –82dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion at 5MHz (RL ≥ 1kΩ), and ±120mA output current on ±5V supplies - enabling use in professional broadcast video drivers and ADC input stages.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2684ID datasheet, OPA2684ID pinout, OPA2684ID application, or OPA2684ID equivalent, key selection criteria include its CFBPLUS architecture's gain-independent bandwidth, 3.4mA total quiescent current, SO-8 package thermal resistance (125°C/W), and differential distortion performance in NTSC composite video systems.
Technical Context
The OPA2684ID employs a CFBPLUS architecture with an internally closed-loop input buffer stage that linearizes inverting-input impedance, enabling stable >120MHz bandwidth up to G = +10 and minimizing harmonic distortion across gain settings. Its transimpedance gain is 355kΩ (min), and inverting input resistance is 4.0Ω (typ).
This dual-channel amplifier supports both bipolar (±2.5V to ±6V) and single-supply (+2.8V to +12V) operation, with input common-mode range extending to ±3.6V on ±5V supplies and output swing of ±3.8V into 1kΩ. Channel-to-channel isolation is 70dB at 5MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bandwidth (G = +2) | 170MHz min - enables full NTSC/PAL video bandwidth with headroom for equalization. |
| Harmonic Distortion (5MHz) | –82dBc 2nd-harmonic (RL ≥ 1kΩ) - meets broadcast video differential gain/phase specs (0.04%/0.02°). |
| Output Current | ±120mA min sourcing/sinking - drives 50Ω doubly-terminated lines or multiple 150Ω video loads. |
| Supply Current | 3.4mA total (±5V) - supports portable and thermally constrained multi-channel designs. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 3.7nV/√Hz typ - preserves SNR in ADC front-end and low-level signal amplification. |
| Small-Signal Rise Time | 3ns typ (G = +2, 0.5V step) - ensures sub-10ns settling for high-resolution imaging timing paths. |
| CMRR | 60dB min (±5V) - maintains rejection of common-mode interference in differential signaling chains. |
Pinout & Package
OPA2684ID is housed in an SO-8 (D) package with exposed pad not electrically connected. The 8-pin surface-mount outline measures 4.9mm × 3.9mm × 1.75mm (max height), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (+In A) | Noninverting input, Channel A | High-impedance node (50kΩ || 2pF); bias current ±5µA max - sets DC operating point for noninverting configurations. |
| 2 (–In A) | Inverting input, Channel A | Low-impedance current-sensing node (4.0Ω typ); critical for feedback stability and bandwidth control via RF. |
| 3 (Out A) | Output, Channel A | Capable of ±4.1V swing into 1kΩ; drives 50Ω loads with >±3Vp-p - suitable for video line driving without external buffers. |
| 4 (–VS) | Negative supply rail | Accepts –2.5V to –6.0V; must be decoupled with 0.1µF ceramic near pin - defines lower rail for bipolar operation. |
| 5 (+VS) | Positive supply rail | Accepts +2.5V to +6.0V; supports single +5V operation when –VS tied to ground - enables flexible power architecture. |
| 6 (+In B) | Noninverting input, Channel B | Independent high-Z input identical to Pin 1 - allows dual-path signal processing or differential I/O configurations. |
| 7 (–In B) | Inverting input, Channel B | Identical low-Z current-sense node to Pin 2 - permits independent gain setting per channel with matched RF. |
| 8 (Out B) | Output, Channel B | Electrically isolated from Out A; channel-to-channel isolation 70dB at 5MHz - prevents crosstalk in multichannel summing or stereo video. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| CFBPLUS architecture | Internally buffered inverting input yields linearized 4.0Ω impedance - eliminates gain-dependent bandwidth roll-off seen in legacy CFB op amps. |
| Gain-independent bandwidth | Maintains >120MHz bandwidth from G = +2 to G = +10 - simplifies filter design and avoids re-optimization across gain settings. |
| Low-distortion video drive | Differential gain 0.04% / phase 0.02° (NTSC) - meets SMPTE 253M and ITU-R BT.601 broadcast standards without external correction. |
| Single-supply compatibility | Operates from +2.8V to +12V with 1.25V input headroom and 1.0V output headroom - supports +3.3V and +5V embedded systems. |
| Thermal robustness | θJA = 125°C/W (SO-8) with internal trim of quiescent current - ensures stable 3.4mA total supply current over –40°C to +85°C. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2683ID | Lower quiescent current (2.6mA total), reduced bandwidth (145MHz at G=+2), same SO-8 package. | Better suited for battery-powered portable video equipment where power budget is tighter than bandwidth. | Select OPA2683ID when system thermal envelope limits total dissipation to <150mW at +85°C. |
| OPA2691ID | Higher output current (±250mA), higher supply current (6.5mA total), same gain-bandwidth profile. | Required for driving 75Ω broadcast infrastructure or active backplanes with >100mA peak load demands. | Choose OPA2691ID when driving doubly-terminated 75Ω lines or sustaining >±4Vp-p into 50Ω under heavy capacitive load. |
Compared with OPA2683ID and OPA2691ID, the OPA2684ID uniquely balances 170MHz bandwidth, ±120mA drive, and 3.4mA total supply current in SO-8 - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally sensitive dual-channel video routing where neither ultra-low power nor extreme output current is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum small-signal bandwidth of the OPA2684ID at G = +2?
The OPA2684ID achieves a minimum small-signal bandwidth of 170MHz at G = +2 with RF = 800Ω and RL = 100Ω under ±5V supply conditions. This specification is tested and guaranteed over temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and represents the –3dB point for 0.5Vp-p output signals. Bandwidth remains >120MHz even at G = +10, confirming its gain-flat CFBPLUS architecture.
Can the OPA2684ID operate from a single +5V supply?
Yes, the OPA2684ID supports single +5V operation with specified performance: 110MHz minimum bandwidth (G = +2, RF = 1kΩ), 380V/µs minimum slew rate, and 0.9V to 4.1V output swing into 1kΩ. Input common-mode range spans 1.25V to 3.75V, requiring external biasing (e.g., resistive divider) for AC-coupled inputs - as shown in Figure 3 of the SBOS239D datasheet.
What is the inverting input resistance of the OPA2684ID and why does it matter?
The OPA2684ID has a typical inverting input resistance of 4.0Ω under open-loop DC conditions. This low, well-defined impedance is fundamental to current-feedback operation: it establishes the transimpedance gain (ZOL = 355kΩ min) and makes bandwidth directly dependent on feedback resistor value (RF), not gain-setting resistor (RG). Stability and bandwidth predictability rely on maintaining RF near 800Ω for bipolar supplies.
How does the OPA2684ID compare to the OPA2683ID in terms of video performance?
The OPA2684ID provides superior video performance versus the OPA2683ID: 170MHz vs 145MHz bandwidth at G = +2, –82dBc vs –78dBc 2nd-harmonic distortion (5MHz, RL ≥ 1kΩ), and 0.04%/0.02° vs 0.05%/0.03° differential gain/phase. These differences enable the OPA2684ID to meet stricter broadcast standards (e.g., SMPTE RP 168) in high-density multichannel video routers where channel count and fidelity are both critical.
Is the OPA2684ID pin-compatible with other dual CFB amplifiers in SO-8 packages?
No, the OPA2684ID is not pin-compatible with standard dual op amps (e.g., OPA2691ID or LMH6702) due to its unique current-feedback topology and dedicated inverting-input architecture. While all share SO-8 footprints, pin functions differ: OPA2684ID assigns Pins 2 and 7 exclusively as low-impedance current-sense nodes, whereas voltage-feedback devices use those pins as high-Z inputs. PCB layout must follow TI's recommended grounding and decoupling for CFB stability.
