Product details
Overview
OPA349UA from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for ultra-low-power battery-operated systems. It delivers 70kHz gain-bandwidth, 1µA quiescent current, 90dB open-loop gain, and operates from 1.8V to 5.5V supply - enabling precision signal conditioning in smoke detectors, solar-powered sensors, and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA349UA datasheet, OPA349UA pinout, OPA349UA application, or OPA349UA equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1µA supply current, rail-to-rail I/O swing (±350mV of rails), 10pA max input bias current, unity-gain stability, and SO-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA349UA employs a complementary differential input stage enabling rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 200mV beyond both supply rails. Its CMOS architecture ensures low input bias current (≤10pA) and high input impedance (10¹³ Ω || 4 pF), supporting high-value feedback networks without significant error.
It features unity-gain stable internal compensation, eliminating external components for G = +1 configurations. Output drive capability is ±8mA into resistive loads, with output voltage swing limited to within 350mV of either rail at 10kΩ load - critical for maximizing dynamic range in low-voltage, single-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8V to 5.5V - supports operation across declining battery voltages without performance loss. |
| Quiescent Current | 1µA (typ) - enables multi-year battery life in always-on remote sensors and smoke detectors. |
| Gain-Bandwidth Product | 70kHz - sufficient for DC–audio-frequency sensor amplification and anti-aliasing filtering. |
| Input Bias Current | ≤10pA (max) - permits use of >10MΩ source/feedback resistors without offset drift. |
| Input Common-Mode Range | (V−) − 0.2V to (V+) + 0.2V - allows direct sensing of signals near supply rails, e.g., battery voltage monitoring. |
| Output Swing (10kΩ) | Within 350mV of rails - preserves >70% of full-scale dynamic range at 3.3V supply. |
| Open-Loop Gain | 90dB (min 74dB) - ensures <0.1% gain error in precision buffer and gain-of-10 configurations. |
Pinout & Package
OPA349UA is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (D) surface-mount package with standard JEDEC outline (D0008A), 1.75mm max height, and 1.27mm lead pitch. Thermal resistance θJA is 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice. |
| 2 (V+) | Positive supply | Connect to main system supply (1.8–5.5V); bypass with 0.01µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 3 (Out) | Amplifier output | Delivers rail-to-rail swing; capable of ±8mA drive into resistive loads. |
| 4 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; no electrical function; avoid routing traces to this pad. |
| 5 (NC) | No internal connection | Unused pin; electrically isolated; may be used as thermal pad anchor if grounded. |
| 6 (−In) | Inverting input | Differential input node; high-impedance CMOS input (10¹³ Ω) with ≤10pA bias current. |
| 7 (+In) | Non-inverting input | Differential input node; identical impedance and bias characteristics as −In. |
| 8 (V−) | Negative supply / Ground | Reference node for single-supply operation; connect to system ground or negative rail. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input range | Extends 200mV beyond supply rails - enables accurate measurement of signals near V+ or V− without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Unity-gain stable | No external compensation required - simplifies design of buffers, active filters, and gain stages at G = +1. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 1µA typical - reduces total system power budget by >90% vs. conventional op amps in always-on sensing nodes. |
| Wide supply voltage range | 1.8V to 5.5V - maintains specification compliance across alkaline, Li-ion, and coin-cell battery discharge curves. |
| Low input bias current | ≤10pA - minimizes voltage drop across high-impedance sensor elements (e.g., thermistors, pH electrodes). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultra-low-power op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLV2401CDR | Same 1µA IQ, but 5.5kHz GBW (vs. 70kHz); lower open-loop gain (80dB); SC70-5 only. | Limited to sub-audio applications; insufficient for fast-settling sensor filters or A/D driver circuits requiring >10kHz bandwidth. | Select TLV2401CDR only when bandwidth demand is <6kHz and SC70 footprint is mandatory. |
| OPA347UA | 20µA IQ (20× higher); 500kHz GBW; same SO-8 package; wider temp range (−40°C to +85°C). | Higher power consumption disqualifies it for multi-year battery use, but enables faster response in active filter or comparator hysteresis circuits. | Choose OPA347UA when system requires >100kHz bandwidth and can tolerate 20µA standby current. |
Compared with TLV2401CDR and OPA347UA, the OPA349UA uniquely balances micropower efficiency (1µA) with usable bandwidth (70kHz) and rail-to-rail I/O in SO-8 - making it optimal for long-life, low-voltage sensor interfaces where both precision and energy economy are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the OPA349UA?
The OPA349UA is specified for operation from 0°C to +70°C, with extended functionality up to +85°C. This range aligns with commercial-grade requirements for portable electronics and indoor environmental sensors. The SO-8 package's θJA of 150°C/W supports reliable thermal performance under typical PCB copper pour conditions. Always verify ambient temperature limits in your final enclosure design before deploying OPA349UA.
Does the OPA349UA require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA349UA is internally compensated and unity-gain stable - no external capacitors or resistors are needed for G = +1 configurations. This simplifies design of voltage followers and active filters. However, when driving capacitive loads >100pF, a small series resistor (10–50Ω) at the output is recommended to maintain phase margin, as confirmed in the OPA349UA datasheet Figure 8 small-signal overshoot plots.
Can the OPA349UA operate from a 1.8V single supply?
Yes, the OPA349UA is fully specified and tested from 1.8V to 5.5V single supply. At 1.8V, it maintains 70kHz GBW, 1µA quiescent current, and rail-to-rail input/output swing - enabling direct interfacing with low-voltage microcontrollers and energy-harvesting systems. Electrical characteristics tables in the SBOS121B datasheet explicitly list performance at 1.8V, confirming functional integrity across the entire range.
What is the maximum output current capability of the OPA349UA?
The OPA349UA delivers ±8mA output current into resistive loads, with short-circuit current rated at ±10mA. This is sufficient to drive 12-bit SAR ADC reference buffers, LED bias circuits, and moderate-impedance sensor excitation networks. Note that output swing degrades to within 350mV of rails at 10kΩ load - ensure downstream loading remains within this limit to preserve dynamic range. Full details appear in the "OUTPUT" section of the OPA349UA electrical characteristics table.
How does the rail-to-rail input stage of the OPA349UA affect common-mode rejection?
The OPA349UA uses complementary N- and P-channel input pairs to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode range, resulting in a 400mV transition region near (V+) − 1.3V where both pairs conduct. Within this region, CMRR degrades from 72dB to ~46dB. For best performance, keep common-mode voltage outside this zone - e.g., bias non-inverting input at mid-supply using high-value resistors. This behavior is documented in the "COMMON-MODE REJECTION" application note section of the OPA349UA datasheet.
