Product details
Overview
OPA336NJ/3KG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail output, microPower CMOS operational amplifier designed for ultra-low-power, single-supply systems. It delivers 20µA quiescent current per amplifier, 125µV max input offset voltage, and rail-to-rail output swing within 3mV of supply rails under 100kΩ load - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered medical instruments and portable sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the OPA336NJ/3KG4 datasheet, OPA336NJ/3KG4 pinout, OPA336NJ/3KG4 application, or OPA336NJ/3KG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3V–5.5V operating range, 1pA input bias current, 115dB open-loop gain, and SOT23-5 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA336NJ/3KG4 employs a CMOS input stage with common-mode input range extending to the negative rail (V– – 0.2V), supporting true single-supply operation down to 2.1V. Its unity-gain stable architecture features low input capacitance and high impedance (10¹³ Ω || 2 pF differential), minimizing loading on high-impedance sources like photodiodes.
Output stage design enables rail-to-rail swing with 3mV headroom at light loads and maintains stability driving capacitive loads up to 300pF in unity-gain configuration. Thermal performance is characterized across –40°C to +85°C, with junction temperature rated to 150°C and MSL Level-1 reflow compatibility.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA340UA/2K5 | Higher GBW (8MHz vs 100kHz), 500µA IQ, SO-8 package - trades power for bandwidth. | Better suited for audio or higher-frequency sensor signals; not viable for multi-year battery operation. | Select when bandwidth >100kHz is required and power budget allows ≥500µA per channel. |
| MCP6001T-I/OT | Similar 1µA IQ, but 1.6V min supply, 100µV offset, SOT23-5 - lower voltage capability, slightly higher offset. | Valid for sub-2.3V systems (e.g., single alkaline cell); less precise for <0.1% accuracy requirements. | Choose for cost-sensitive, ultra-low-voltage designs where 100µV offset is acceptable. |
Compared with OPA336NJ/3KG4, OPA340UA/2K5 offers 80× more bandwidth at 50× higher current, while MCP6001T-I/OT enables 1.6V operation but sacrifices 25µV offset precision - making OPA336NJ/3KG4 optimal for 2.3V+ battery-powered precision DC applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for the OPA336NJ/3KG4?
The OPA336NJ/3KG4 operates down to 2.1V, though it is fully specified from 2.3V to 5.5V. At 2.1V, key parameters including quiescent current (20µA), offset voltage (≤125µV), and rail-to-rail output swing remain functional - enabling use with aging alkaline or single LiFePO₄ cells. Performance validation at 2.1V is confirmed in TI's SBOS068C datasheet Figure 8.
Does the OPA336NJ/3KG4 support rail-to-rail input?
No, the OPA336NJ/3KG4 does not support rail-to-rail input. Its common-mode input range is specified from (V–) – 0.2V to (V+) – 1V. While inputs can exceed the supplies by ±0.3V without damage, normal linear operation requires staying within that range. This design prioritizes low bias current and offset over full rail-to-rail input - a trade-off confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 3 of SBOS068C.
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA336NJ/3KG4 can drive stably?
In unity-gain configuration, the OPA336NJ/3KG4 drives up to 300pF stably without external compensation. With a 50–100Ω series resistor inside the feedback loop (as shown in Figure 3 of SBOS068C), it reliably handles >1000pF. Driving >300pF without isolation risks peaking or oscillation - verified via small-signal step response testing in Figure 4 and stability boundary analysis in Figure 5.
Is the OPA336NJ/3KG4 pin-compatible with other OPA336 variants?
Yes, all OPA336 variants in SOT23-5 packaging - including OPA336N, OPA336NA, and OPA336NJ - share identical pinout (V–, –In, Out, V+, +In). The "J" suffix denotes a specific temperature-grade marking (J36), but electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across these SOT23-5 versions per TI's PACKAGE/ORDERING INFORMATION table on page 2 of SBOS068C.
What is the ESD rating for the OPA336NJ/3KG4?
The OPA336NJ/3KG4 is rated for 1000V CDM (Charged Device Model), 500V HBM (Human Body Model), and 100V MM (Machine Model), as documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 3 of SBOS068C. These values reflect enhanced ESD robustness specific to NJ/UJ variants - critical for handling during manual assembly or field-repair scenarios.
