Product details
Overview
OPA336NJ/250 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output, microPower CMOS operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-power, single-supply battery-operated systems. It delivers 125 µV max input offset voltage, 20 µA quiescent current per amplifier, and rail-to-rail output swing within 3 mV of the rails under 100 kΩ load - enabling precision signal conditioning in portable medical instruments and photodiode pre-amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA336NJ/250 datasheet, OPA336NJ/250 pinout, OPA336NJ/250 application, or OPA336NJ/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT-23-5 package, –40°C to +85°C temperature rating, 2.3V–5.5V supply range, and verified performance in high-impedance sensor interfaces where input bias current ≤1 pA and common-mode range extending to V– is critical.
Technical Context
The OPA336NJ/250 implements a unity-gain-stable CMOS input stage with input common-mode range from (V–) –0.2 V to (V+) –1 V and rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ±5 mA. Its 115 dB open-loop gain and 100 kHz gain-bandwidth product support stable DC-coupled integrators and low-frequency transimpedance amplification.
Designed on a 0.6 µm CMOS process, it features ESD protection rated at 1000 V CDM (for NJ/UJ variants), reverse-battery protection, and specified operation down to 2.1 V supply - making it suitable for coin-cell-powered devices where supply headroom is constrained and long-term stability under thermal cycling is required.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA336N/250 | Same electrical specs; SOT-23-5 package with A36 marking; rated for same –40°C to +85°C range but lacks CDM-1000V ESD rating | Not qualified for high-ESD environments (e.g., handheld clinical devices with frequent handling) | Select OPA336N/250 only if CDM robustness is not required and cost optimization is primary |
| MCP6001T-I/OT | 25 µA IQ, 150 µV offset, 1 MHz GBW; SOT-23-5; 1.8–6.0 V supply; no CDM rating published | Better bandwidth but higher power; less precise offset and drift than OPA336NJ/250 | Choose MCP6001T-I/OT when >100 kHz signal bandwidth is needed and 5 µA extra IQ is acceptable |
Compared with OPA336N/250 and MCP6001T-I/OT, the OPA336NJ/250 uniquely combines CDM-1000V ESD robustness, 125 µV offset, and 20 µA IQ in a production-qualified SOT-23-5 package - making it optimal for safety-critical, battery-limited medical sensors where reliability and precision cannot be compromised.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA336NJ/250 can drive in unity-gain configuration?
The OPA336NJ/250 can reliably drive up to 300 pF in unity-gain configuration without external compensation. For larger loads (e.g., >500 pF), a 50–100 Ω series resistor inside the feedback loop is recommended to maintain phase margin and prevent ringing. This behavior is confirmed in TI's SBOS068C datasheet Figure 3 and Figure 5.
Does the OPA336NJ/250 support operation below 2.3 V supply?
Yes - the OPA336NJ/250 operates down to 2.1 V, though full specification (e.g., offset, gain, output swing) is guaranteed only from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. At 2.1 V, typical performance remains functional for low-power standby modes, but designers should verify parameters like GBW and slew rate under actual operating conditions.
What does the "J" in OPA336NJ/250 signify?
The "J" denotes the SOT-23-5 package variant with J36 marking and enhanced CDM ESD rating of 1000 V - distinct from the "N" (A36 marking, standard CDM) and "U" (SO-8) variants. This marking is documented in TI's SBOS068C package table and ordering addendum.
Is the OPA336NJ/250 pin-compatible with other OPA336 variants?
Yes - all OPA336 single-amplifier variants (N, NJ, U, UA) share identical 5-pin SOT-23-5 pinout: Pin 1 = V–, Pin 2 = +In, Pin 3 = Out, Pin 4 = V+, Pin 5 = –In. This allows direct substitution between NJ and N variants without PCB changes, provided ESD requirements align.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the OPA336NJ/250 in its SOT-23-5 package?
The OPA336NJ/250 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) of 200°C/W in the SOT-23-5 (DBV) package, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of SBOS068C. This value assumes standard JEDEC 2-layer board conditions and informs derating calculations for continuous operation at elevated ambient temperatures.
