Product details
Overview
OPA27GUG4 from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-noise, high-precision bipolar operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package, featuring 4.5 nV/√Hz max input voltage noise at 1 kHz, ±100 µV max input offset voltage, and 117 dB min open-loop gain. It is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and targets precision DC-coupled signal conditioning in instrumentation-grade analog front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the OPA27GUG4 datasheet, OPA27GUG4 pinout, OPA27GUG4 application, or OPA27GUG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-frequency noise performance (0.1–10 Hz), long-term offset drift stability (±0.4 µV/°C), common-mode rejection (100 dB min), and compatibility with legacy OP-07/OP-27 socketed systems requiring sub-100 µV offset and <5 nV/√Hz noise.
Technical Context
The OPA27GUG4 uses laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve stable microvolt-level offset and low drift over –40°C to +85°C. Its bias current cancellation circuit maintains specified input bias (±80 nA max) and offset current (75 nA max) across temperature without external trimming.
It features back-to-back diode input protection without series current-limiting resistors-enabling ultra-low noise but requiring strict differential input voltage control (< ±0.7 V). The device is rated for ±22 V supply, supports rail-to-rail output swing into 2 kΩ, and delivers 1.7 V/µs slew rate at G = +1 with 5 MHz gain-bandwidth product.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Noise | 4.5 nV/√Hz max at 1 kHz - enables high-resolution DC-coupled amplification of µV-level sensor signals without noise floor degradation |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±100 µV max - ensures ≤0.1% error in 100 mV full-scale measurement systems without nulling |
| Offset Drift | ±0.4 µV/°C max - guarantees <1 µV total drift over 25°C ambient variation, critical for unattended test equipment |
| Open-Loop Gain | 117 dB min - provides ≥500,000 V/V loop gain for accurate closed-loop gain setting in 0.01% tolerance applications |
| CMRR | 100 dB min - rejects >100,000:1 common-mode interference in bridge sensor interfaces |
| PSRR | 94 dB min - suppresses power supply ripple to <20 µV/V, allowing direct use with ±15 V linear supplies |
| Gain-Bandwidth | 5 MHz - supports stable unity-gain operation with bandwidth sufficient for 10 kHz precision data acquisition |
Pinout & Package
OPA27GUG4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 3.9 mm width, and 1.75 mm max height. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; the package is RoHS-compliant with NiPdAu lead finish and MSL Level-3 rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offset Trim (–) | Connects to wiper of 10 kΩ potentiometer for manual nulling; optional for most applications due to laser-trimmed factory offset |
| 2 | Inverting Input (–In) | Differential input node; protected by back-to-back diodes-must limit differential voltage to < ±0.7 V |
| 3 | Non-Inverting Input (+In) | Differential input node; same protection and voltage limits as Pin 2 |
| 4 | –VCC | Negative supply rail; supports –4 V to –22 V; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor |
| 5 | Offset Trim (+) | Connects to one end of trim potentiometer; unused pins are NC and must remain unconnected |
| 6 | Output | Class-A output stage; drives ≥2 kΩ load to ±12 V with <0.01% settling time of 25 µs |
| 7 | +VCC | Positive supply rail; supports +4 V to +22 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; must be left floating-no routing or grounding permitted |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Laser-trimmed thin-film resistors | Enables ±100 µV max offset and ±0.4 µV/°C drift without post-assembly calibration |
| Bias current cancellation | Maintains ±80 nA max input bias current over –40°C to +85°C, eliminating thermal drift-induced errors in high-Z sensor interfaces |
| Back-to-back diode input protection | Preserves 4.5 nV/√Hz noise performance by omitting series current-limiting resistors-requires external differential voltage clamping |
| Unity-gain stable architecture | Eliminates need for external compensation components in G = +1 follower or inverting configurations |
| SOIC-8 footprint compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for industry-standard OP-07, OP-27, AD510, and AD517 in existing DIP-8 sockets using adapter boards |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA27GP | DIP-8 package, higher θJA (100°C/W), no MSL rating; identical electrical specs | Suitable for prototyping, socket-based test fixtures, and through-hole production where reflow is not used | Select OPA27GP when board assembly uses wave soldering or hand-soldered sockets and thermal management permits higher junction rise |
| AD797ARZ | Lower noise (2.7 nV/√Hz), higher GBW (110 MHz), but requires external compensation and has ±200 µV offset | Better for wideband low-noise applications (>100 kHz), less suitable for pure DC precision due to higher offset and drift | Choose AD797ARZ only when bandwidth >50 MHz is required and offset nulling is acceptable; avoid for sub-100 µV DC-critical designs |
Compared with OPA27GUG4, OPA27GP offers identical precision performance in through-hole form for legacy systems, while AD797ARZ trades DC accuracy for RF-grade noise and speed-making OPA27GUG4 optimal for DC-stable, low-noise instrumentation where unity-gain stability and microvolt drift are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable differential input voltage for OPA27GUG4?
The OPA27GUG4 has back-to-back diode input protection with a maximum differential input voltage of ±0.7 V. Exceeding this value risks permanent damage to the input stage, as no series current-limiting resistors are integrated. External clamping networks must be used if transient overvoltage is possible in the application.
Does OPA27GUG4 require external offset nulling in typical applications?
No-OPA27GUG4 uses laser-trimmed thin-film resistors to achieve ±100 µV max input offset voltage at 25°C, making external nulling unnecessary for most precision applications. Pins 1 and 5 are provided for optional trimming with a 10 kΩ potentiometer but degrade drift performance if used for large-system offsets.
Can OPA27GUG4 replace OP-07 in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes-OPA27GUG4 is pin-compatible with OP-07 in SOIC-8 footprint (with adapter for DIP-8 sockets) and matches its key DC specs: offset, drift, CMRR, and PSRR. However, verify that the PCB layout avoids thermoelectric EMFs near inputs, as OPA27GUG4's microvolt-level offset makes it more sensitive to copper-junction gradients than older op-amps.
What is the recommended power supply bypassing for OPA27GUG4?
Each supply pin (Pins 4 and 7) of OPA27GUG4 must be bypassed to ground with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of the pin. For systems with noisy rails, add a 10 µF tantalum capacitor in parallel. Avoid shared bypass traces between multiple OPA27GUG4 devices to prevent crosstalk via supply impedance.
Is OPA27GUG4 suitable for radiation-hardened equipment?
Yes-the OPA27GUG4 datasheet explicitly lists "radiation hard equipment" as a target application. While not certified for space-grade TID or SEE, its bipolar process and laser-trimmed topology provide inherent resilience to total ionizing dose effects up to 10 krad(Si), making it suitable for terrestrial nuclear instrumentation and medical radiation monitoring systems.
