Product details
Overview
OPA2836IRMCR from Texas Instruments is a dual-channel, ultra-low-power, rail-to-rail output, negative-rail input voltage-feedback operational amplifier. It delivers 205 MHz bandwidth, 560 V/µs slew rate, and 1 mA typical quiescent current per channel at 5 V supply, operating from –40°C to +125°C. It is used in portable SAR ADC drivers and low-power audio signal conditioning where high-speed performance and battery life are critical.
For engineers reviewing the OPA2836IRMCR datasheet, OPA2836IRMCR pinout, OPA2836IRMCR application, or OPA2836IRMCR equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, package mapping to VSSOP-10, functional pin definitions, real-world use cases in portable instrumentation and high-density signal chains, and two validated alternative op-amps with documented differences in bandwidth and power consumption.
Technical Context
The OPA2836IRMCR implements a voltage-feedback architecture optimized for unity-gain stability across 2.5 V–5.5 V supplies. Its negative-rail input stage supports common-mode voltages down to –0.2 V (with 5 V supply), while rail-to-rail output delivers >99% supply swing into 2 kΩ loads.
Each amplifier features independent power-down control (PD1/PD2), enabling selective channel shutdown to 0.5 µA quiescent current. Channel-to-channel crosstalk is –120 dB at 10 kHz, confirming isolation suitable for dual-path precision signal routing without interference.

Pinout & Package
OPA2836IRMCR is packaged in a 10-pin VSSOP (DGS) with 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body size, 0.5-mm lead pitch, and exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation in compact layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1– | Inverting input, Channel 1 | Accepts differential signals referenced to negative rail; supports –0.2 V to +3.9 V common-mode range |
| VIN1+ | Noninverting input, Channel 1 | High-impedance node (100 MΩ || pF); enables high-Z sensor buffering without loading |
| VOUT1 | Output, Channel 1 | Rail-to-rail swing (0.2 V to 4.8 V on 5 V supply); drives ≥2 kΩ load with <0.1% THD |

| VIN2– | Inverting input, Channel 2 | Matched to VIN1–; supports identical AC/DC performance as Channel 1 |
| VOUT2 | Output, Channel 2 | Fully buffered output; maintains 22 ns 0.1% settling time even with 2-V step and G = 2 |
| VS+ | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; PSRR of 108 dB rejects supply noise in battery-powered mixed-signal systems |
| PD1 | Power-down control, Channel 1 | Active-low logic input; pulls quiescent current to 0.5 µA when driven <0.7 V (VS– + 0.7 V) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel, high-speed, low-power operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2835IDR | 30 MHz bandwidth, 0.25 mA IQ per channel - lower speed, 75% less power | Better suited for sub-100-kSPS sensor interfaces where bandwidth is not limiting | Select when system clock rate < 500 kHz and battery life outweighs speed requirements |
| LMH6619MMX/NOPB | 140 MHz bandwidth, 1.25 mA IQ per channel - 30% lower bandwidth, 25% higher IQ | Higher output current (75 mA) and better DC precision (25 µV Vos max) | Prefer for industrial analog output stages requiring robust 50-Ω drive and tighter offset specs |
Compared with OPA2836IRMCR, OPA2835IDR trades bandwidth for ultra-low power in static sensor nodes, while LMH6619MMX/NOPB offers higher drive strength and DC accuracy at moderate speed-neither is pin-compatible, but both serve distinct trade-off points in portable and industrial signal chains.

FAQ
What is the maximum supply voltage for OPA2836IRMCR?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OPA2836IRMCR is 5.5 V between VS+ and VS–. Operation beyond this risks permanent damage. The recommended operating range is 2.5 V to 5.5 V, with tested performance at 2.7 V and 5 V. At 5 V, OPA2836IRMCR achieves its full 205 MHz bandwidth and 560 V/µs slew rate while maintaining 1 mA typical quiescent current per channel.
Does OPA2836IRMCR support rail-to-rail input?
No, OPA2836IRMCR does not support rail-to-rail input. It features negative-rail input capability, allowing the input common-mode range to extend to –0.2 V (with 5 V supply), but the upper limit is +3.9 V-not VS+. Input voltage range is specified as –0.2 V to +3.9 V at 5 V supply, meaning it accepts signals below ground but not up to the positive rail. This architecture optimizes for single-supply operation with ground-referenced sensors while retaining high-speed performance.
What is the function of the PD1 and PD2 pins on OPA2836IRMCR?
PD1 and PD2 are independent active-low power-down control inputs for Channel 1 and Channel 2, respectively. When pulled below 0.7 V (VS– + 0.7 V), each pin places its corresponding amplifier into ultra-low-power mode, reducing quiescent current to 0.5 µA typical. Driving PD1 or PD2 high (>2.1 V above VS–) restores normal operation with 200 ns turn-on delay. This enables dynamic power gating in multi-channel systems-e.g., disabling one channel during idle periods in a dual ADC interface using OPA2836IRMCR.
Can OPA2836IRMCR drive a 50-Ω load directly?
OPA2836IRMCR is not rated for continuous 50-Ω load driving. Its output current capability is ±45 mA into ≥2 kΩ loads, and sustained 50-Ω drive would exceed thermal limits and degrade distortion performance. For 50-Ω transmission lines, a dedicated line driver (e.g., THS3201) or series termination is required. However, OPA2836IRMCR can transiently drive 50 Ω for short pulses within its 60 mA absolute maximum output current limit, provided average power dissipation remains within thermal design constraints.
What package type is used for OPA2836IRMCR?
OPA2836IRMCR uses the VSSOP-10 (DGS) package: a 10-pin, 3.00 mm × 3.00 mm body with 0.5-mm lead pitch and exposed thermal pad. This package is distinct from SOIC-8 (D), WQFN-10 (RUN), and UQFN-10 (RMC) variants of the OPA2836 family. The "RMC" suffix in the part number confirms the VSSOP-10 configuration, which offers superior thermal resistance (RθJA = 206°C/W) compared to SOIC-8 and supports high-density PCB layouts in portable equipment.
