Product details
Overview
OPA337UAG4 from Texas Instruments is a rail-to-rail output, unity-gain stable CMOS operational amplifier in SOIC-8 package. It delivers 3MHz gain-bandwidth, 1.2V/µs slew rate, 120dB open-loop gain, 10pA max input bias current, and operates from 2.5V to 5.5V single supply-ideal for photodiode pre-amplification in battery-powered medical instruments.
For engineers reviewing the OPA337UAG4 datasheet, OPA337UAG4 pinout, OPA337UAG4 application, or OPA337UAG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail output swing (≤125mV from rail), low quiescent current (525µA/amp), FET-input architecture, G = 1 stability, and −40°C to +85°C temperature range compliance.
Technical Context
The OPA337UAG4 uses advanced CMOS process technology to achieve ultra-low input bias current (±10pA max) while maintaining high-speed performance. Its input common-mode voltage range includes ground (−0.2V to V+−1.2V), enabling true single-supply operation without level-shifting circuitry.
As a unity-gain stable amplifier, it features no phase inversion under overdrive and maintains 100dB open-loop gain down to 5kΩ load. The SOIC-8 package supports standard surface-mount assembly with JEDEC-compliant MSL Level-2-260°C-1 year reflow profile.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 3MHz at G = 1 - enables stable amplification of audio-band and sensor signals up to ~300kHz closed-loop bandwidth |
| Slew Rate | 1.2V/µs - supports 2Vpp signals at ≤600kHz without slew-induced distortion |
| Input Bias Current | ±10pA max - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance photodiode and pH electrode interfaces |
| Quiescent Current | 525µA per amplifier - allows dual-channel operation on coin-cell or 3.3V LDO supplies |
| Output Swing | ≤125mV from rail (RL = 25kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3V or 5V systems |
| Open-Loop Gain | 120dB typ - ensures <0.001% gain error in precision transimpedance configurations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with Li-ion, USB, and industrial 3.3V/5V rails without regulation |
Pinout & Package
OPA337UAG4 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package with standard JEDEC outline, 1.27mm pitch, and exposed pad not present. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner adjacent to the notch or dot marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (−In) | High-impedance node accepting feedback or signal source; requires guarding in sensitive transimpedance designs |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+In) | CMOS input with ±10pA bias; connects directly to reference or sensor without loading |
| 3 | Output | Rail-to-rail capable output driving ≥25kΩ loads; limited sourcing/sinking to ±9mA |
| 4 | V− (Ground or Negative Supply) | Reference return for single-supply operation; must be low-impedance with 0.01µF ceramic bypass |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection; left unconnected per TI design - no routing or grounding required |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection; electrically isolated - no PCB trace or thermal pad needed |
| 7 | V+ (Positive Supply) | Accepts 2.5V–5.5V; requires local 0.01µF ceramic decoupling to minimize PSRR degradation |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection; unused terminal - no electrical or mechanical tie required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Delivers full dynamic range in 3.3V systems: outputs within 125mV of V+ and V− rails under 25kΩ load |
| FET-input architecture | Enables photodiode pre-amplifiers with >1GΩ effective input impedance and sub-pA leakage paths |
| Unity-gain stability | Operates reliably at G = 1 without external compensation - simplifies filter and buffer designs |
| Single-supply operation | Input common-mode range includes ground (−0.2V), eliminating need for negative rail or level shifters |
| Low quiescent power | Draws only 525µA at 5V - supports always-on sensing nodes in portable medical devices |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar op-amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA340UA | Higher GBW (5.5MHz), same SOIC-8, 1.5V/µs slew rate, 500µA IQ | Better for higher-frequency sensor signals (>500kHz); slightly higher power | Select when wider bandwidth is required without changing layout or supply constraints |
| MCP6001T-I/OT | SOT23-5, 1MHz GBW, 0.6V/µs slew, 100µA IQ, rail-to-rail I/O | Lower power and smaller footprint but reduced speed and drive capability | Choose for ultra-low-power space-constrained designs where 3MHz bandwidth is unnecessary |
Compared with OPA337UAG4, OPA340UA offers higher bandwidth for faster settling in data acquisition, while MCP6001T-I/OT trades speed for 81% lower quiescent current and 40% smaller footprint-making each suitable for distinct trade-offs in precision, power, and size.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the OPA337UAG4?
The OPA337UAG4 is specified for operation from −40°C to +85°C ambient temperature. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and storage temperature range matches the operating range at −55°C to +125°C. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W for the SOIC-8 package, requiring appropriate PCB copper area for sustained full-load operation.
Does the OPA337UAG4 require external compensation for unity-gain operation?
No, the OPA337UAG4 is unity-gain stable and does not require external compensation capacitors. It is explicitly characterized and guaranteed for stable operation at G = 1 across the full −40°C to +85°C temperature range and 2.5V–5.5V supply range. This eliminates design complexity in buffer and transimpedance configurations.
Can the OPA337UAG4 drive capacitive loads such as ADC input capacitance?
The OPA337UAG4 can drive moderate capacitive loads, but stability depends on load value and configuration. For loads >100pF, isolation resistors (e.g., 10–50Ω) between amplifier output and capacitor are recommended. TI's typical curves show overshoot increases above 100pF; for 10-bit+ SAR ADCs with 10–20pF inputs, direct connection is robust and widely used.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the OPA337UAG4?
The input common-mode voltage range of the OPA337UAG4 is −0.2V to (V+) − 1.2V at TA = −40°C to +85°C. This includes ground, enabling true single-supply operation with inputs referenced to system ground. Inputs may exceed this range by up to ±0.5V without damage, but phase inversion is avoided only within the specified CMVR.
Is the OPA337UAG4 pin-compatible with other SOIC-8 op-amps like the LM358?
No, the OPA337UAG4 is not pin-compatible with LM358 or other legacy dual op-amps. Its SOIC-8 pinout is unique: pins 1/2/3/4 are −In/+In/Out/V−, while pins 5/6/7/8 are NC/NC/V+/NC. LM358 uses pins 1/2/3/4 for OutA/−InA/+InA/V− and 5/6/7/8 for +InB/−InB/OutB/V+. Layout redesign is required for substitution.
