Product details
Overview
OPA277U/2K5G4 from Texas Instruments is a high-precision dual operational amplifier optimized for low-drift, low-noise DC-coupled signal conditioning in industrial measurement systems. It delivers 10 µV max offset voltage, ±0.1 µV/°C drift, 134 dB open-loop gain, and operates from ±2 V to ±18 V supplies. Used in weigh scales and temperature transmitters where long-term stability and minimal thermal error are critical.
For engineers reviewing the OPA277U/2K5G4 datasheet, OPA277U/2K5G4 pinout, OPA277U/2K5G4 application, or OPA277U/2K5G4 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SOIC-8 package details, real-world performance boundaries (e.g., ±20 µV offset over –40°C to +85°C), trim-capable architecture, and validated alternatives for precision analog design.
Technical Context
The OPA277U/2K5G4 implements a laser-trimmed bipolar input stage with internal bias current cancellation, eliminating need for external compensation resistors. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports rail-to-rail output swing within ±1.5 V of rails at 2 kΩ load, with 0.8 V/µs slew rate and 1 MHz gain-bandwidth product.
It features dual independent amplifiers with no crosstalk interaction under overload, 140 dB CMRR maintained across ±5 V to ±15 V supply range, and EMI rejection optimized via input-stage layout - all specified over full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Offset Voltage | ±10 µV (typ), ±20 µV (max) at 25°C - enables <1 LSB error in 20-bit DAQ without calibration |
| Drift | ±0.1 µV/°C (max) - contributes <1.5 µV total drift over 85°C span, critical for unattended field instrumentation |
| Open-Loop Gain | 134 dB (min) - ensures <0.0005% gain error in closed-loop configurations with gain ≥100 |
| Supply Range | ±2 V to ±18 V - supports single-supply 4–36 V operation via level-shifting, compatible with legacy ±15 V systems |
| Quiescent Current | 800 µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel precision amplification in battery-powered sensors with <1.6 mA total draw |
| Input Bias Current | ±1 nA (max) - permits use with >1 MΩ source impedances without significant voltage drop or drift |
| CMRR | 140 dB (min) - rejects >100 dB of common-mode noise from 4–20 mA loop interfaces or thermocouple cold-junction circuits |
Pinout & Package
OPA277U/2K5G4 is packaged in an 8-pin SOIC (D package), 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm body size, with exposed pad not present. Pin functions are electrically isolated between channels and validated for dual-amplifier operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Trim A | Adjusts input offset voltage for Channel A; leave floating unless precision nulling required |
| 2 | –In A | Inverting input for Amplifier A; high-impedance node sensitive to thermal gradients |
| 3 | +In A | Noninverting input for Amplifier A; matched thermal path to Pin 2 required for <0.1 µV/°C drift |
| 4 | V– | Negative supply rail; connects to system ground or negative rail; must be decoupled with 0.1 µF capacitor |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated; may be left unconnected or tied to ground for mechanical stability |
| 6 | Out A | Amplifier A output; drives loads down to 2 kΩ while maintaining ±1.5 V output swing |
| 7 | V+ | Positive supply rail; accepts up to ±18 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling |
| 8 | Offset Trim B | Adjusts input offset voltage for Channel B; functionally identical to Pin 1, independent of Channel A |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low drift architecture | ±0.1 µV/°C max drift enables <2 µV total offset variation over full industrial temperature range |
| Internal bias current cancellation | Eliminates need for external Rcomp, reducing PCB area and avoiding added noise/offset from resistor tolerance |
| Dual independent amplifiers | No crosstalk even during overload or phase reversal events - verified by channel separation >120 dB at 1 kHz |
| Input overvoltage protection | ±30 V differential input tolerance with 1 kΩ series resistors and diode clamps prevents damage in sensor fault conditions |
| EMI rejection optimization | EMIRRIN+ >80 dB suppresses RF rectification effects from 100 MHz–1 GHz noise sources near industrial I/O |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2188AIDR | Zero-drift auto-zero architecture; 0.005 µV/°C drift vs. OPA277U/2K5G4's ±0.1 µV/°C; higher 1/f noise (0.1 µVPP vs. 0.22 µVPP) | Better for ultra-low-drift DC applications (e.g., medical EEG); less suitable for wideband sensor signal chains due to chopping artifacts | Select OPA2188AIDR when sub-µV total drift over temperature is mandatory and bandwidth <10 kHz suffices. |
| AD8628ARZ | Chopper-stabilized; 0.002 µV/°C drift; higher input bias current (25 pA typical) but lower voltage noise (1.1 nV/√Hz) | Preferred for femtoampere-input applications (e.g., photodiode TIA); incompatible with high-impedance passive filters due to charge injection | Choose AD8628ARZ for ultra-low-input-current, low-noise applications where chopper ripple is filtered out downstream. |
Compared with OPA277U/2K5G4, OPA2188AIDR offers superior drift performance at the cost of increased low-frequency noise and potential switching artifacts, while AD8628ARZ trades bipolar input compatibility for femtoampere bias current - making OPA277U/2K5G4 the optimal balance for general-purpose industrial precision amplification.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for OPA277U/2K5G4?
The OPA277U/2K5G4 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. Recommended range is ±5 V to ±15 V for guaranteed specification compliance, though functional operation extends to ±18 V with minor parameter degradation.
Does OPA277U/2K5G4 require external offset trim resistors?
The OPA277U/2K5G4 includes dedicated offset trim pins (1 and 8) for each amplifier channel, but external trimming is optional. Its laser-trimmed architecture achieves ±20 µV max offset at 25°C and ±30 µV over –40°C to +85°C, so most applications operate without adjustment. Use a 20-kΩ potentiometer only when sub-µV nulling is required.
Can OPA277U/2K5G4 drive capacitive loads?
Yes, OPA277U/2K5G4 can drive up to 1500 pF capacitive loads while maintaining stability and <1% overshoot in unity-gain configuration. For loads >1000 pF, add a small series resistor (10–50 Ω) between output and capacitance to isolate reactive feedback. Performance data is validated in Figure 6-19 of the SBOS079C datasheet.
What is the input protection scheme on OPA277U/2K5G4?
The OPA277U/2K5G4 integrates 1-kΩ series input resistors and diode clamps on both inputs, enabling ±30 V differential input tolerance without damage. This protects against transient overvoltages in industrial sensor interfaces, though sustained overdrive may affect slewing behavior in unity-gain followers.
Is OPA277U/2K5G4 pin-compatible with OP-07 or OP-177?
OPA277U/2K5G4 is a functional replacement for OP-177 and OP-07 in SOIC-8 packages, sharing identical pinout and supply requirements. However, it improves upon those legacy parts with lower drift (±0.1 µV/°C vs. ±0.3 µV/°C), lower quiescent current (800 µA vs. 1.8 mA), and wider output swing - requiring no PCB changes for drop-in upgrade.
