Product details
Overview
OPA348AIDCKTG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-power, single-supply systems. It delivers 1 MHz gain-bandwidth, 45 µA quiescent current, 0.5 pA input bias current, and operates from 2.1 V to 5.5 V - enabling precision signal conditioning in battery-powered smoke alarms and CO detectors.
For engineers reviewing the OPA348AIDCKTG4 datasheet, OPA348AIDCKTG4 pinout, OPA348AIDCKTG4 application, or OPA348AIDCKTG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended common-mode range (V– – 0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V), 18 mV output swing from rail (RL = 100 kΩ), and SC70-5 package compatibility with space-constrained sensor front-ends.
Technical Context
The OPA348AIDCKTG4 uses a complementary N/P-channel input stage enabling rail-to-rail input operation across –40°C to +125°C, with common-mode voltage tolerance extending 200 mV beyond supply rails. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports direct driving of ADC input capacitance up to 250 pF without external compensation.
It features a class-AB output stage delivering rail-to-rail output swing, maintaining >94 dB open-loop gain at 100 kΩ load while sinking/sourcing ±10 mA short-circuit current. Input offset voltage is specified at 1–5 mV (typ/max) with 4 µV/°C drift over temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-bandwidth product | 1 MHz - enables stable unity-gain buffering of audio-band and sensor signals up to ~100 kHz with minimal phase lag. |
| Quiescent current | 45 µA (typ) - allows continuous operation for years on coin-cell batteries in portable safety devices. |
| Input bias current | 0.5 pA (typ) - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor interfaces (e.g., electret mics, gas sensors). |
| Input common-mode range | V– – 0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V - supports direct sensing of signals near supply rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Output voltage swing | Within 18 mV of rails (RL = 100 kΩ) - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V single-supply data acquisition systems. |
| Supply voltage range | 2.1 V to 5.5 V - ensures compatibility with Li-ion, alkaline, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails across industrial and consumer designs. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and harsh-environment safety equipment. |
Pinout & Package
The OPA348AIDCKTG4 is housed in a 5-pin SC70 (DCK) package measuring 2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, optimized for ultra-compact PCB layouts in portable and wearable electronics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Output | Amplified signal output; capable of sourcing/sinking ±10 mA and driving ≥100 kΩ loads to within 18 mV of supply rails. |
| 2 | Inverting input (–IN) | Differential input node; accepts signals from V– – 0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V with 0.5 pA bias current. |
| 3 | Non-inverting input (+IN) | Differential input node; identical voltage range and bias current as –IN; used for unity-gain buffer or non-inverting gain configurations. |
| 4 | Negative supply (V–) | Ground or lowest potential rail; must be bypassed with 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor close to pin. |
| 5 | Positive supply (V+) | Highest supply rail (2.1–5.5 V); requires local 0.01 µF ceramic decoupling for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input and output | Enables full-scale signal utilization in single-supply systems without external level-shifting components. |
| Ultra-low input bias current (0.5 pA) | Maintains accuracy in high-Z sensor interfaces (e.g., pH electrodes, photodiode transimpedance stages). |
| 1 MHz bandwidth at 45 µA IQ | Delivers usable AC response for audio, medical, and industrial sensor signals while minimizing power consumption. |
| Extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C) | Supports deployment in automotive cabin modules, industrial PLC I/O, and fire alarm control panels. |
| SC70-5 micro package | Reduces board area by >50% vs SOIC-8, critical for wearables and miniaturized safety devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA348AIDBVR | Same electrical specs; packaged in 5-pin SOT-23 (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm) instead of SC70-5. | Slightly larger footprint; better thermal dissipation (RθJA = 229°C/W vs 267°C/W) but less space-efficient. | Select when board layout allows marginally larger package and thermal performance is prioritized over miniaturization. |
| MCP6001T-E/OT | Lower bandwidth (1 MHz same), higher IQ (100 µA), wider supply range (1.8–6.0 V), but only 100 mV output swing from rail (RL = 6 kΩ). | Not suitable for rail-to-rail output-critical applications; lacks extended common-mode range beyond rails. | Choose only if supply voltage <2.1 V is required and output swing margin >100 mV is acceptable. |
Compared with OPA348AIDCKTG4, the OPA348AIDBVR offers identical performance in a slightly larger SOT-23 package with improved thermal resistance, while the MCP6001T-E/OT trades rail-to-rail output and ultra-low bias current for lower minimum supply voltage - making the OPA348AIDCKTG4 uniquely suited for space-constrained, high-precision, ultra-low-power sensor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacitive load the OPA348AIDCKTG4 can drive in unity-gain configuration?
The OPA348AIDCKTG4 can directly drive up to 250 pF of pure capacitive load in unity-gain configuration while maintaining stability. For loads exceeding this value, a small series resistor (10–20 Ω) between the output and capacitive load improves phase margin without degrading DC accuracy - a technique validated in TI's SBOS213H datasheet Figure 22. This capability makes the OPA348AIDCKTG4 well-suited for driving ADC input capacitance in systems like ADS7822-based data loggers.
Does the OPA348AIDCKTG4 support input voltages beyond the supply rails?
Yes - the OPA348AIDCKTG4 features a rail-to-rail input stage that operates linearly from V– – 0.2 V to V+ + 0.2 V. Inputs may extend up to 0.5 V beyond the rails without damage, provided input current is limited to ≤10 mA using a series resistor (as shown in Figure 21 of SBOS213H). This behavior avoids phase inversion and enables robust interfacing with overvoltage-prone sensors. The OPA348AIDCKTG4 maintains functionality even when inputs exceed supplies, unlike many legacy op amps.
What is the typical output voltage swing of the OPA348AIDCKTG4 at 3.3 V supply?
At a 3.3 V supply with a 100 kΩ load to V+/2, the OPA348AIDCKTG4 delivers an output voltage swing within 18 mV of each rail - i.e., from ~18 mV to ~3.282 V. This rail-to-rail performance is confirmed across –40°C to +125°C and enables full utilization of 12-bit ADCs like the ADS7822 without signal clipping. The OPA348AIDCKTG4 achieves this while consuming only 45 µA, making it ideal for low-voltage portable instrumentation.
How does the OPA348AIDCKTG4 handle ESD events in end-equipment?
The OPA348AIDCKTG4 is rated for ±2000 V HBM and ±500 V CDM per JEDEC standards, providing robust protection against handling and system-level ESD events. Its inputs are not diode-clamped to the rails, so external current limiting (≤10 mA) is required for inputs exceeding V±0.5 V - a design consideration explicitly documented in Section 6.1 and Figure 21 of the SBOS213H datasheet. This ESD resilience supports reliable deployment in field-deployed safety devices such as CO detectors and fire alarm sensors.
Is the OPA348AIDCKTG4 pin-compatible with other members of the OPAx348 family?
No - the OPA348AIDCKTG4 (single-channel, SC70-5) is not pin-compatible with dual-channel OPA2348 or quad-channel OPA4348 variants, which use 8-pin and 14-pin packages respectively. Even among single-channel versions, the SC70-5 (OPA348AIDCKTG4), SOT-23-5 (OPA348AIDBVR), and SOIC-8 (OPA348AIDR) variants have different pinouts and footprints. Pin mapping must be verified per package drawing: SC70-5 assigns V+ to pin 5, V– to pin 4, +IN to pin 3, –IN to pin 2, and OUT to pin 1 - a layout unique to the DCK variant.
