Product details
Overview
OPA2704PA from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for non-inverting gains ≥5. It delivers 3MHz gain-bandwidth product, 3V/µs slew rate, 160µA quiescent current per amplifier, ±160µV input offset voltage, and operates from ±2V to ±6V dual supplies or 4V–12V single supply. It is used in precision sensor signal conditioning and high-speed data acquisition front-ends where low power and stable high-gain performance are critical.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2704PA datasheet, OPA2704PA pinout, OPA2704PA application, or OPA2704PA equivalent, key selection considerations include its gain-stability requirement (G ≥ 5), rail-to-rail I/O swing within 40mV of rails under light load, 1pA input bias current, and MSOP-8/SO-8/DIP-8 package compatibility for legacy through-hole or space-constrained surface-mount designs.
Technical Context
The OPA2704PA employs a complementary differential input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 300mV beyond supply rails, and a class-AB output stage delivering rail-to-rail output swing down to 40mV from V+ or V− with 100kΩ load. Its internal compensation is tailored for closed-loop gains of 5 or greater, ensuring stability without external compensation while achieving 3MHz GBW and 3V/µs slew rate.
This dual op amp is fully specified over –40°C to +85°C and supports operation down to –55°C. Input protection diodes clamp signals exceeding rails by >300mV, requiring current limiting to ≤10mA - a design constraint critical for interfacing with unbuffered ADC sample-and-hold or transducer outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 3MHz at G ≥ 5 - enables stable amplification of 100kHz signals with 30° phase margin in non-inverting configurations. |
| Slew Rate | 3V/µs - supports 1Vpp full-scale output at 500kHz without slewing distortion in G = 5 circuits. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±160µV max - contributes ≤0.008% error in 2V full-scale 16-bit DAC buffer applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 160µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel operation from coin-cell or energy-harvesting sources. |
| Rail-to-Rail Output Swing | Within 40mV of rails (RL = 100kΩ) - preserves >99% dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V systems. |
| Input Bias Current | 1pA typical - eliminates significant voltage drop across >10MΩ sensor bridge arms or photodiode feedback networks. |
| CMRR | 90dB full-scale - rejects 10mV common-mode noise as <10µV differential error in single-supply sensor interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
DIP-8 package: 0.3-inch wide, through-hole, industry-standard footprint compatible with legacy prototyping and industrial control PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Out A | Amplifier A output - drives loads up to ±10mA; requires local 1µF + 1000pF bypassing at V+ and V− pins. |
| 2 | –In A | Inverting input of Amp A - high-impedance node; sensitive to layout-induced leakage above 100MΩ. |
| 3 | +In A | Non-inverting input of Amp A - accepts common-mode voltages from (V−) − 0.3V to (V+) + 0.3V. |
| 4 | V− | Negative supply - must be decoupled; sinking path for both amplifiers' quiescent and output current. |
| 5 | +In B | Non-inverting input of Amp B - electrically isolated from Amp A; shares no internal substrate coupling. |
| 6 | –In B | Inverting input of Amp B - identical electrical specs to Pin 2; supports independent feedback networks. |
| 7 | Out B | Amplifier B output - independently buffered; channel separation >100dB at 1kHz prevents crosstalk in dual-sensor systems. |
| 8 | V+ | Positive supply - sourcing path for both amplifiers; thermal resistance θJA = 100°C/W in DIP-8. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Gain-optimized stability | Internally compensated for G ≥ 5 - eliminates need for external compensation capacitors in instrumentation amplifier gain stages. |
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Complementary N/P-channel input pairs - maintains CMRR >70dB across full (V−) − 0.3V to (V+) + 0.3V range, enabling direct single-supply sensor interfacing. |
| Ultra-low input bias current | 1pA typical - avoids gain error in high-Z pH electrode or piezoelectric transducer amplifiers without guard traces. |
| Low-noise precision | 45nV/√Hz input voltage noise at 1kHz - ensures <1µVrms integrated noise in 10kHz bandwidth sensor channels. |
| Robust ESD protection | Diode-clamped inputs rated for ±2kV HBM - survives handling in uncontrolled assembly environments without additional TVS. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-rail-to-rail op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2704UA | SO-8 package, same electrical specs, 2500-piece tape-and-reel only - no tube option. | Surface-mount assembly only; not suitable for through-hole prototyping or repair. | Select OPA2704UA for automated SMT production; OPA2704PA remains optimal for breadboarding, DIP sockets, or legacy board rework. |
| AD8602ARZ | Unity-gain stable, 8MHz GBW, 5V/µs SR, but higher 500µA IQ and ±600µV VOS - not optimized for G ≥ 5. | Better for general-purpose G = 1–2 buffering; lacks OPA2704PA's low-IQ/high-G efficiency trade-off. | Choose AD8602ARZ when unity-gain stability or higher speed is required; avoid when minimizing supply current at G = 5 is critical. |
Compared with OPA2704UA, the OPA2704PA offers identical performance in a through-hole DIP-8 package enabling manual assembly and field serviceability, while AD8602ARZ trades 3× higher quiescent current for broader gain flexibility - making OPA2704PA the preferred choice for battery-powered, fixed-gain ≥5 signal chains.

FAQ
What is the minimum recommended gain for stable operation of the OPA2704PA?
The OPA2704PA is internally compensated for closed-loop gains of 5 or greater. Operating at gains below 5 may cause peaking or instability, especially with capacitive loads. For unity-gain or G = 2 applications, TI recommends the OPA2703PA instead. Always verify phase margin using SPICE models or bench testing when operating near the gain boundary.
Can the OPA2704PA operate from a single 5V supply?
Yes, the OPA2704PA supports single-supply operation from 4V to 12V. With a 5V supply, input common-mode range extends from –0.3V to +5.3V, and output swings to within 40mV of each rail under light load. Ensure input signals remain within absolute maximum ratings and use proper decoupling (1µF tantalum + 1000pF ceramic per supply pin).
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA2704PA in its DIP-8 package?
The OPA2704PA in PDIP-8 package has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 100°C/W, as specified in the SBOS180A datasheet. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions. Derate power dissipation accordingly - at 300µA max IQ per amplifier and ±5V supplies, total dissipation is ~3mW, resulting in negligible temperature rise under normal operation.
Does the OPA2704PA feature phase reversal when input voltages exceed the supply rails?
No, the OPA2704PA does not exhibit phase reversal when inputs exceed the supply rails, provided input current is limited to ≤10mA via series resistance. This behavior is confirmed in Figure 4 of the SBOS180A datasheet and stems from its robust ESD diode clamping architecture - a critical reliability feature for interfacing with unconditioned transducer outputs.
How does the OPA2704PA compare to the OPA2703PA in terms of bandwidth and slew rate?
The OPA2704PA provides 3MHz gain-bandwidth product and 3V/µs slew rate at G ≥ 5, whereas the OPA2703PA delivers 1MHz GBW and 0.6V/µs SR with unity-gain stability. The OPA2704PA achieves higher speed by optimizing compensation for higher gains, trading off low-gain flexibility for improved dynamic response - making it ideal for fixed-gain ≥5 signal chains where speed and power efficiency are prioritized.
