Product details
Overview
OPA277PAG4 from Texas Instruments is a single high-precision operational amplifier designed for low-drift, low-noise signal conditioning in measurement front-ends. It delivers 10 µV max input offset voltage, ±0.1 µV/°C drift, 134 dB open-loop gain, and operates from ±2 V to ±18 V supplies - enabling use in weigh scale load-cell interfaces, temperature transmitter analog input stages, and battery-powered DAQ systems.
For engineers reviewing the OPA277PAG4 datasheet, OPA277PAG4 pinout, OPA277PAG4 application, or OPA277PAG4 equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world thermal metrics for SOIC-8 packaging, confirmed trim-pin behavior, documented 0.22 µVPP (0.1–10 Hz) noise performance, and validated alternatives with explicit channel-count and offset-trim differences.
Technical Context
The OPA277PAG4 implements a laser-trimmed bipolar input stage with internal bias current cancellation, eliminating need for external compensation resistors. Its offset trim pins (1 and 8) support manual nulling only for the single-channel variant - a feature absent in dual/quad versions and critical for sub-µV system calibration.
It is unity-gain stable, immune to phase reversal, and specified across ±5 V to ±15 V supply range with consistent 140 dB CMRR and 130 dB PSRR performance - unlike legacy op amps rated at single supply points. Input protection includes 1-kΩ series resistors and diode clamps enabling ±30-V differential input tolerance without damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input offset voltage | ±10 µV (typ), ±20 µV (max) at 25°C - enables direct connection to 24-bit ADCs without system-level trimming |
| Offset voltage drift | ±0.1 µV/°C (max) over –40°C to +85°C - ensures <1 µV total drift across industrial temperature range |
| Open-loop gain | 134 dB (min) - supports precision closed-loop gains >1000 with <0.01% gain error |
| Common-mode rejection | 140 dB (min) - rejects >100 dB of sensor common-mode interference in bridge-based transmitters |
| Supply range | ±2 V to ±18 V - operates from single 4-V supply up to ±18-V rails, compatible with legacy ±15-V instrumentation |
| Quiescent current | 800 µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel operation within 1.6 mA total, suitable for battery-backed modules |
| 0.1–10 Hz noise | 0.22 µVPP - meets sub-1-µVPP requirement for high-resolution weigh scale front-ends |
Pinout & Package
OPA277PAG4 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm body size, with exposed thermal pad connected to V–. Pinout is identical to industry-standard OP-07/OP-177 footprints, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Offset Trim | Adjustment input | Connects to one end of 20-kΩ potentiometer for manual offset nulling; leave floating if unused |
| 2 - –In | Inverting input | Differential input node; matched thermal mass required vs +In to minimize thermoelectric drift |
| 3 - +In | Noninverting input | Differential input node; internal bias current cancellation eliminates need for external RB |
| 4 - V– | Negative supply | Reference for all internal circuitry; thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for RθJB = 52.3°C/W |
| 5 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to V– for mechanical stability |
| 6 - Output | Amplifier output | Capable of ±35-mA short-circuit current; drives ≥2-kΩ loads to within 1.5 V of rails |
| 7 - V+ | Positive supply | Supports rail-to-rail output swing only when loaded ≥10 kΩ; degrades to ±1.5 V headroom at 2-kΩ |
| 8 - Offset Trim | Adjustment input | Connects to other end of 20-kΩ potentiometer; forms balanced trim network with Pin 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed offset & drift | Eliminates factory calibration step in production test; ±20 µV max initial offset reduces post-assembly trimming time by >70% |
| Offset trim pins (1 & 8) | Enables sub-5-µV system-level nulling in lab instrumentation; not present on OPA2277/OPA4277 - exclusive to single-channel variants |
| Internal bias current cancellation | Reduces need for external RB; avoids added Johnson noise and offset errors introduced by discrete compensation networks |
| ±30-V differential input tolerance | Withstands transient overvoltage in industrial field wiring without latch-up or parametric shift - verified per Absolute Max Ratings |
| Unity-gain stability & no phase reversal | Guarantees stable operation in follower configurations without external compensation; removes risk of oscillation during overload recovery |
Applications
| Analog Input Module | Weigh Scale |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision voltage-to-current converter input stage with cold-junction compensation interface. Use Value: 800 µA quiescent current enables full functionality within 3.5 mA loop budget; ±20 µV offset avoids zero-point calibration at assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2277UA | Dual-channel version; no offset trim pins; same offset (±10 µV typ) and drift (±0.1 µV/°C) specs | Used where space-constrained dual-sensor conditioning is needed; cannot replace OPA277PAG4 in single-channel trim-required designs | Select OPA2277UA only when two independent amplifiers are required and external offset trimming is unnecessary |
| OPA2189IDR | Zero-drift auto-zero architecture; 0.005 µV/°C drift; higher 5.6 MHz GBW; no trim pins; 1.3 mA IQ | Better for ultra-stable DC measurements over wide temperature ranges; unsuitable for low-power battery operation due to higher IQ | Choose OPA2189IDR when long-term drift dominates error budget and supply current >1 mA is acceptable |
Compared with OPA2277UA and OPA2189IDR, the OPA277PAG4 uniquely provides user-accessible offset trim pins in a single-channel SOIC-8 package while maintaining lowest quiescent current (800 µA) among precision op amps with sub-20-µV offset - making it optimal for calibrated, low-power, single-ended instrumentation.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for OPA277PAG4?
The OPA277PAG4 supports dual supplies from ±2 V to ±18 V (36 V total), with absolute maximum rating of ±18 V. Operation beyond ±18 V risks permanent damage per Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings. For single-supply use, it accepts 4 V to 36 V between V+ and V–, but performance is fully characterized only across ±2 V to ±18 V.
Does OPA277PAG4 require external offset trim resistors?
The OPA277PAG4 includes dedicated offset trim pins (1 and 8) and is designed to work with a 20-kΩ potentiometer connected between them and V–, as shown in Figure 7-1. External trim is optional - most applications achieve required accuracy without it due to ±20 µV max initial offset. However, systems demanding sub-5 µV residual offset (e.g., metrology calibrators) use this feature.
Can OPA277PAG4 drive capacitive loads?
Yes, the OPA277PAG4 can drive capacitive loads up to 1500 pF while maintaining stability and ≤1% overshoot, as verified in Figure 6-19. For loads >1500 pF, external isolation resistance (e.g., 10–100 Ω in series with output) is recommended. The device remains unity-gain stable without compensation, unlike many precision op amps requiring external feedback capacitance.
What is the thermal resistance of OPA277PAG4 in SOIC-8 package?
For the OPA277PAG4 in SOIC-8 (D package), junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) is 110.1°C/W, junction-to-board (RθJB) is 52.3°C/W, and junction-to-case (bottom) is 3.3°C/W - per Section 6.4 Thermal Information. These values assume standard JEDEC 2-layer board layout with 1-in² copper pour under the thermal pad soldered to V–.
How does OPA277PAG4 compare to OP-07 in terms of key specs?
The OPA277PAG4 improves upon OP-07 with ±10 µV typical offset (vs ±25 µV), ±0.1 µV/°C drift (vs ±0.6 µV/°C), 0.22 µVPP 0.1–10 Hz noise (vs 0.6 µVPP), and 800 µA quiescent current (vs 1.2 mA). It also adds ±30-V differential input tolerance and eliminates need for external bias current compensation - directly replacing OP-07 in existing SOIC-8 layouts.
