Product details
Overview
OPA342UA/2K5 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-power, single-supply operation from 2.7V to 5.5V. It delivers 1MHz gain-bandwidth, 1V/µs slew rate, and rail-to-rail output swing within 1mV of the rails (RL = 100kΩ), with only 150µA typical quiescent current. It is used in precision signal conditioning for data acquisition systems driving ADCs like the ADS7822.
For engineers reviewing the OPA342UA/2K5 datasheet, OPA342UA/2K5 pinout, OPA342UA/2K5 application, or OPA342UA/2K5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150µA quiescent current, rail-to-rail I/O capability at 2.7V supply, ±6mV max input offset voltage, 30nV/√Hz input voltage noise density, and SO-8 package compatibility with standard PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA342UA/2K5 employs a complementary differential input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 300mV beyond both supply rails. Its class AB output stage achieves rail-to-rail output swing while maintaining >96dB open-loop gain into 100kΩ loads.
It is unity-gain stable and specified across –40°C to +85°C. Input bias current is ultra-low (±0.2pA typ), and CMRR exceeds 74dB over full common-mode range at 5.5V supply - critical for high-accuracy DC-coupled sensor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - supports direct interface with 3.3V and 5V logic, eliminating level-shifting needs. |
| Quiescent Current | 150µA typ - enables battery-powered designs with multi-year runtime (e.g., portable data loggers). |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 1MHz - sufficient for anti-aliasing filters and sensor amplification up to ~100kHz closed-loop bandwidth. |
| Slew Rate | 1V/µs - ensures faithful reproduction of 100kHz full-scale sine waves without distortion. |
| Input Offset Voltage | ±6mV max - maintains <0.1% error in 6V full-scale measurement systems without trimming. |
| THD + Noise | 0.006% at 1kHz - meets audio-grade signal integrity requirements in consumer electronics front-ends. |
| Output Swing (vs Rail) | 1mV (RL = 100kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in low-voltage ADC driver applications (e.g., 12-bit ADS7822). |
Pinout & Package
OPA342UA/2K5 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package per JEDEC MS-012, with thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Inverting Input (–In) | High-impedance node accepting feedback network; sensitive to layout parasitics above 100kHz. |
| 2 | Non-Inverting Input (+In) | Reference input for buffer/gain configurations; requires low-impedance source to avoid CMRR degradation. |
| 3 | Output (Out) | Capable of sourcing/sinking ±15mA; drives 600Ω loads rail-to-rail with minimal headroom loss. |
| 4 | Ground / Negative Supply (V–) | Return path for all internal bias currents; must connect directly to low-impedance ground plane. |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection - left unconnected; not to be tied to any potential. |
| 6 | NC | No internal connection - left unconnected; not to be tied to any potential. |
| 7 | Positive Supply (V+) | Power input requiring local 0.01µF ceramic decoupling to minimize PSRR degradation at high frequencies. |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection - left unconnected; not to be tied to any potential. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input range | Extends 300mV beyond both supply rails - enables direct sensing of signals near ground or VCC in single-supply systems. |
| Rail-to-rail output swing | Within 1mV of rails into 100kΩ - preserves full ADC input range and minimizes quantization loss. |
| Ultra-low input bias current | ±0.2pA typical - eliminates significant voltage error across high-impedance sources (>1MΩ) such as piezoelectric sensors. |
| Low THD + noise | 0.006% at 1kHz - supports high-fidelity audio pre-amplification without audible artifacts. |
| Unity-gain stability | Stable with no external compensation - simplifies design of buffers and gain stages without risk of oscillation. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Lower GBW (1MHz same), higher IQ (100µA vs 150µA typ), but only 2.7V min supply; no rail-to-rail input. | Limited to non-rail-sensing applications; unsuitable for signals near V– in single-supply configs. | Select when ultra-low power dominates and input common-mode range stays >0.3V above V–. |
| TLV2461CDR | Higher IQ (550µA typ), wider supply range (2.7–6V), rail-to-rail I/O, but higher offset (±3mV typ) and noise (28nV/√Hz). | Better drive strength (30mA), suited for heavier loads; less optimal for micro-power sensor nodes. | Select when higher output current or tighter offset tolerance is required, and 400µA extra IQ is acceptable. |
Compared with MCP6001T-E/OT, OPA342UA/2K5 provides true rail-to-rail input operation essential for ground-referenced sensors, while TLV2461CDR trades 400µA higher quiescent current for improved output drive and lower offset - making OPA342UA/2K5 optimal for space-constrained, battery-powered signal chains where input voltage range and power are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for OPA342UA/2K5?
The OPA342UA/2K5 is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, with extended operating range up to +125°C. All electrical parameters in the datasheet - including input offset voltage, CMRR, and quiescent current - are guaranteed across the –40°C to +85°C range, making OPA342UA/2K5 suitable for industrial and automotive cabin environments.
Does OPA342UA/2K5 support true rail-to-rail input and output?
Yes, OPA342UA/2K5 supports rail-to-rail input (common-mode range extends 300mV beyond both supply rails) and rail-to-rail output (within 1mV of rails into 100kΩ). This is achieved via complementary input pairs and a class AB output stage - confirmed in the SBOS106A datasheet Figures 1 and 2 - enabling full dynamic range utilization in 2.7V–5.5V single-supply systems.
Can OPA342UA/2K5 drive capacitive loads directly?
OPA342UA/2K5 can directly drive up to 250pF of pure capacitive load in unity-gain configuration without instability. For larger capacitive loads or improved phase margin, a 10Ω–20Ω series resistor between output and load (Figure 5 in SBOS106A) is recommended. This preserves DC accuracy while suppressing ringing - critical when driving ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces.
What is the maximum supply voltage rating for OPA342UA/2K5?
The absolute maximum supply voltage for OPA342UA/2K5 is 7.5V (V+ to V–), but the recommended operating range is 2.7V to 5.5V. Operation outside 2.7V–5.5V may cause parameter degradation or reduced reliability. The device is fully characterized and guaranteed only within the 2.7V–5.5V range, as stated in the SBOS106A datasheet "SPECIFICATIONS" table.
Is OPA342UA/2K5 pin-compatible with other OPA342 variants?
No - OPA342UA/2K5 uses an SO-8 package with two NC pins (pins 5, 6, 8), whereas the SOT23-5 variant (e.g., OPA342NA) has only five functional pins in a different physical layout. Pin compatibility exists only within the same package type (e.g., OPA342UA and OPA2342UA share SO-8 footprints), but not across package families. Always verify footprint against the SO-8 drawing 182.
