Product details
Overview
OPA2684IDCNT 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 drive on ±5V supplies - enabling use in professional camera analog front-ends and differential SAW filter post-amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2684IDCNT datasheet, OPA2684IDCNT pinout, OPA2684IDCNT application, or OPA2684IDCNT equivalent, key selection criteria include its CFBPLUS architecture's gain-invariant bandwidth, 3.4mA total quiescent current, SOT23-8 package thermal resistance (150°C/W), and verified performance in single +5V and dual ±2.5V to ±6V supply configurations.
Technical Context
The OPA2684IDCNT employs a patented 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 (ZOL) is 355kΩ min at +25°C, and inverting input resistance is 4.4Ω typ under open-loop DC conditions.
This architecture decouples gain-setting resistor (RG) selection from bandwidth degradation - unlike conventional CFB op amps - allowing peaking networks, multichannel summing topologies, and line drivers to retain full AC performance. Input voltage noise is 3.7nV/√Hz (f > 1MHz), and closed-loop output impedance is 0.006Ω at 100kHz.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2683IDCNT | Lower 2.2mA total supply current; 130MHz bandwidth at G = +2; reduced output drive (±80mA) | Better suited for ultra-low-power portable video where bandwidth <130MHz is acceptable | Select OPA2683IDCNT when thermal budget is tighter and full 170MHz bandwidth is unnecessary |
| OPA2691IDGKT | Higher 400mA output current; 400MHz bandwidth at G = +2; 6.5mA supply current | Required for driving long 50Ω coaxial runs or high-capacitance loads (>100pF) | Choose OPA2691IDGKT only when OPA2684IDCNT's ±120mA drive is insufficient for the load |
Compared with OPA2684IDCNT, OPA2683IDCNT trades 40MHz bandwidth and 40mA output for 1.2mA lower quiescent current, while OPA2691IDGKT doubles output drive and bandwidth at 3× the power - making OPA2684IDCNT the optimal balance for space-constrained, medium-drive video and communications applications.

FAQ
What supply voltage ranges does the OPA2684IDCNT support?
The OPA2684IDCNT operates from dual ±2.5V to ±6V supplies or single +5V to +12V. At ±5V, it delivers full ±4Vp-p output swing and 170MHz bandwidth; at +5V single supply, bandwidth reduces to 110MHz min but retains 0.04% differential gain accuracy for NTSC video. The device's internal biasing ensures consistent performance across this full range without external adjustments.
How does the CFBPLUS architecture improve bandwidth stability in the OPA2684IDCNT?
The OPA2684IDCNT's CFBPLUS architecture uses an internally closed-loop input buffer to linearize the inverting input impedance to 4.4Ω, decoupling bandwidth from gain-setting resistor (RG) value. This allows bandwidth to remain >120MHz even at G = +10 - unlike conventional CFB op amps where bandwidth drops inversely with gain. The result is predictable, flat frequency response for video equalization and multichannel summing circuits.
Can the OPA2684IDCNT drive 50Ω transmission lines directly?
Yes, the OPA2684IDCNT can drive 50Ω loads directly: it delivers >±3Vp-p into 50Ω on ±5V supplies with <0.1dB gain flatness up to 19MHz. For doubly-terminated 50Ω lines, configure as a unity-gain follower with 50Ω series output resistor. Its 0.006Ω closed-loop output impedance ensures minimal signal reflection and preserves rise time integrity in high-speed interconnects.
What is the thermal performance of the OPA2684IDCNT in its SOT23-8 package?
The OPA2684IDCNT in SOT23-8 (DCN) package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 150°C/W. With 3.4mA total supply current at ±5V (17mW static power), and assuming worst-case 250mW dynamic dissipation, junction temperature rise is ≤37.5°C above ambient - well within the +85°C max operating limit. PCB copper area under the thermal pad further improves heat dissipation.
Does the OPA2684IDCNT require external compensation for stability?
No, the OPA2684IDCNT is internally compensated and stable for gains ≥ +1 with recommended feedback resistors (RF = 800Ω for ±5V, 1kΩ for +5V). Its CFBPLUS architecture inherently avoids phase-margin issues common in voltage-feedback op amps. Stability is verified across –40°C to +85°C and all specified supply voltages; no external capacitors or network adjustments are needed for standard gain configurations.
