Product details
Overview
OPA349SA/3KG4 from Texas Instruments is an ultra-low-power, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for battery-powered systems. It delivers 70kHz gain-bandwidth with only 1µA quiescent current, supports 1.8V–5.5V supply, and features 10pA max input bias current - enabling high-impedance sensor interfacing in portable smoke detectors and solar-powered remote sensors.
For engineers reviewing the OPA349SA/3KG4 datasheet, OPA349SA/3KG4 pinout, OPA349SA/3KG4 application, or OPA349SA/3KG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include micropower operation under 1.8V, rail-to-rail I/O swing within 350mV of rails, unity-gain stability without external compensation, and SC70-5 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA349SA/3KG4 employs a complementary differential input stage (N-channel + P-channel pairs) to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 200mV beyond both supply rails. Its internal class-AB output stage enables 8mA drive capability while maintaining low distortion across the full output swing.
It operates as a single-supply, unity-gain stable amplifier with no need for external phase compensation. The open-loop gain of 90dB and 70kHz GBW are maintained across the full 1.8V–5.5V supply range and 0°C to +70°C temperature range, ensuring consistent performance in low-battery conditions.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2401IDBVR | Same 1µA IQ and rail-to-rail I/O, but lower 5.5kHz GBW and higher 250nV/√Hz input noise | Less suitable for bandwidth-critical sensor filtering; better for ultra-low-IQ DC-coupled references | Select TLV2401IDBVR only when GBW <10kHz suffices and lowest possible noise floor is secondary |
| OPA347UA/2K5 | 20µA IQ, 350kHz GBW, same SC70-5 package; higher drive (25mA), wider temp range (–40°C to +125°C) | Requires more power but supports faster settling and harsher environments like automotive cabin sensors | Choose OPA347UA/2K5 when system demands >100kHz signal bandwidth or extended temperature operation |
Compared with TLV2401IDBVR and OPA347UA/2K5, the OPA349SA/3KG4 uniquely balances sub-µA quiescent current with 70kHz bandwidth and rail-to-rail operation in SC70 - making it optimal for long-life, space-constrained, single-supply sensor nodes where moderate speed and minimal power dominate design priorities.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the OPA349SA/3KG4?
The OPA349SA/3KG4 is specified for 0°C to +70°C ambient operation, with storage range from –65°C to +150°C. Its SC70 package has a thermal resistance (θJA) of 250°C/W. Performance parameters including quiescent current, input bias current, and open-loop gain are guaranteed across this range per the SBOS121B datasheet. The OPA349SA/3KG4 is not rated for operation below 0°C.
Does the OPA349SA/3KG4 require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA349SA/3KG4 is internally compensated and unity-gain stable without external components. Its architecture eliminates the need for feedback capacitors or gain-setting networks to ensure stability - a key advantage over many micropower op amps. This simplifies design in buffer, follower, and low-gain filter configurations. The OPA349SA/3KG4 remains stable across its full 1.8V–5.5V supply range and 0°C to +70°C temperature range.
What is the maximum output current capability of the OPA349SA/3KG4?
The OPA349SA/3KG4 delivers ±8 mA continuous output current into resistive loads, with ±10 mA short-circuit current capability. Output voltage swing degrades to within 350 mV of the rails at 10 kΩ load, and to within 300 mV at 1 MΩ load. For sustained 8 mA output, ensure adequate PCB copper area and thermal relief to manage self-heating, especially in the SC70 package where θJA = 250°C/W.
Can the OPA349SA/3KG4 be used with a 1.8V single supply?
Yes, the OPA349SA/3KG4 is fully specified and tested for operation from 1.8V to 5.5V single supply. At 1.8V, it maintains 1 µA quiescent current, 70 kHz gain-bandwidth, rail-to-rail input (extending 200 mV beyond rails), and output swing to within 350 mV of both rails under 10 kΩ load. This makes the OPA349SA/3KG4 ideal for coin-cell and low-voltage alkaline systems where headroom is constrained.
What package type does the OPA349SA/3KG4 use, and what are its dimensions?
The OPA349SA/3KG4 uses the SC70-5 (DCK) package: a 5-pin, surface-mount, leadless plastic package measuring 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.9 mm (body), with 0.65 mm pin pitch. Pin 1 marking is a dot; orientation follows JEDEC standard Q3 quadrant in tape-and-reel. Land pattern and stencil design guidelines are provided in TI's DCK0005A package outline - critical for reliable reflow soldering in high-density layouts.
