Product details
Overview
OPA349NA/250 from Texas Instruments is a single ultra-low-power rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier designed for battery-powered signal conditioning. It delivers 70kHz gain-bandwidth, 1µA quiescent current, 90dB open-loop gain, and operates from 1.8V to 5.5V supply - enabling precision sensing in energy-constrained portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA349NA/250 datasheet, OPA349NA/250 pinout, OPA349NA/250 application, or OPA349NA/250 equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation (<2µA max), rail-to-rail I/O swing (±350mV of rails), low input bias current (≤10pA), and SOT23-5 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA349NA/250 employs a complementary differential input stage enabling 200mV beyond-rail common-mode range and stable unity-gain operation without external compensation. Its CMOS architecture achieves 10pA max input bias current and 300nV/√Hz input voltage noise density at 1kHz.
It supports single-supply operation from 1.8V to 5.5V with output drive capability of ±8mA, 350mV rail-to-rail swing at 10kΩ load, and thermal performance rated for 0°C to +70°C ambient - optimized for analog front-end stages in remote sensors and low-voltage A/D driver circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - enables direct interface with Li-ion, coin-cell, and solar-harvested power sources without regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 1µA typical - extends battery life in always-on sensor nodes and smoke detectors. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 70kHz - sufficient for DC-coupled thermistor, RTD, and gas sensor signal amplification. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤10pA max - permits use of >10MΩ feedback/source resistors without significant offset error. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V−) − 0.2V to (V+) + 0.2V - supports direct sensing of signals near supply rails in single-supply systems. |
| Output Swing | Within 350mV of rails at 10kΩ load - preserves dynamic range for 12-bit ADCs operating at 3.3V or lower. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 90dB - ensures <0.1% gain error in unity-gain buffer configurations driving high-impedance loads. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar micropower op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2401IDBVR | Same 1µA IQ and rail-to-rail I/O, but 5.5kHz GBW (vs 70kHz); 10x lower bandwidth limits sensor response. | Not suitable for >5kHz signal paths (e.g., fast gas transient detection); acceptable for DC/low-frequency thermistors. | Select TLV2401IDBVR only when bandwidth demand is ≤5kHz and cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirement. |
| OPA347UA/2K5 | 20µA IQ (20× higher), 350kHz GBW, same 1.8–5.5V supply; higher power enables faster settling (6µs vs 65µs). | Preferred for battery-powered systems requiring sub-10µs step response (e.g., pulse oximetry front-end), not ultra-low-power longevity. | Choose OPA347UA/2K5 when system prioritizes speed over battery life; avoid where <2µA total quiescent budget is mandatory. |
Compared with TLV2401IDBVR and OPA347UA/2K5, the OPA349NA/250 uniquely balances 70kHz bandwidth and 1µA IQ in SOT23-5 - making it optimal for precision, long-life sensor interfaces where both speed and micropower are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the OPA349NA/250?
The OPA349NA/250 is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C ambient temperature. Its electrical characteristics - including quiescent current, input offset voltage, and open-loop gain - are guaranteed across this range per the SBOS121B datasheet. The device may function outside this range, but performance is not assured.
Can the OPA349NA/250 drive capacitive loads without oscillation?
The OPA349NA/250 can drive up to 20pF capacitive load stably in unity-gain configuration, as verified in typical characteristics. For loads exceeding 20pF - such as ADC input capacitance or long PCB traces - a small series resistor (10–50Ω) or feedback capacitor is recommended to maintain phase margin and prevent peaking or overshoot.
Does the OPA349NA/250 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA349NA/250 is internally compensated and unity-gain stable. The datasheet explicitly states "unity-gain stable" and confirms no external compensation is needed. This simplifies design in buffer, active filter, and sensor interface applications where minimal external components are critical.
What is the maximum output current capability of the OPA349NA/250?
The OPA349NA/250 provides ±8mA continuous output current into resistive loads, with ±10mA short-circuit current capability. At 10kΩ load and 5.5V supply, it delivers full rail-to-rail swing (within 350mV of V+ and V−). Output current decreases linearly as output voltage approaches either rail due to internal headroom limitations.
How does the rail-to-rail input stage of the OPA349NA/250 affect common-mode rejection?
The OPA349NA/250 uses complementary N-channel and P-channel input pairs to achieve rail-to-rail input range. Within the 400mV transition region near (V+) – 1.3V, CMRR degrades - dropping to ~46dB versus 60dB outside that zone. For best CMRR, keep common-mode voltage below (V+) – 1.5V or above (V−) + 1.5V in precision applications.
