Product details
Overview
OPA350PA from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for low-voltage, single-supply operation (2.7 V to 5.5 V). It delivers 38 MHz gain-bandwidth, 22 V/µs slew rate, and ultra-low 5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise - enabling high-fidelity signal conditioning in space-constrained A/D converter driver and video processing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the OPA350PA datasheet, OPA350PA pinout, OPA350PA application, or OPA350PA equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail swing within 10 mV of supply rails under 10-kΩ load, THD+N of 0.0006% at 1 kHz, and guaranteed operation from −40°C to 85°C in SOIC-8 packaging.
Technical Context
The OPA350PA uses a complementary N/P-channel input stage to achieve rail-to-rail common-mode input range extending 100 mV beyond both supply rails, with laser trimming to minimize offset discontinuity across the transition region. Its class AB output stage enables full rail-to-rail swing while maintaining >100 dB open-loop gain up to 10 kHz.
Designed for unity-gain stability, it drives capacitive loads up to 100 pF without external compensation and supports 75-Ω video line driving per TI's test conditions. Input bias current remains ≤10 pA over temperature, and PSRR/CMRR exceed 74 dB across 10 Hz–100 kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Gain-bandwidth product | 38 MHz - supports stable closed-loop gain ≥10 at 3.8 MHz, suitable for anti-aliasing filters before 500-kSPS ADCs |
| Slew rate | 22 V/µs - enables clean 2.5 VPP output at 1 MHz without slewing distortion in unity-gain buffer configurations |
| Input voltage noise density | 5 nV/√Hz at 10 kHz - ensures <1 µVrms integrated noise in 20 kHz audio bandwidth, critical for low-level sensor interfaces |
| THD+N | 0.0006% at 1 kHz, RL = 600 Ω - meets broadcast-grade video and high-resolution audio signal chain requirements |
| Output swing from rail | ≤10 mV with 10-kΩ load - maximizes dynamic range in 3.3 V or 5 V single-supply systems, e.g., portable instrumentation |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - operates from Li-ion battery (3.0–4.2 V) or regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without level-shifting circuitry |
| Quiescent current | 5.2 mA per amplifier - balances speed and power for always-on signal conditioning in battery-powered edge nodes |
Pinout & Package
OPA350PA is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (D) package measuring 3.91 mm × 4.90 mm, rated for −40°C to 85°C operation with JEDEC-standard thermal performance (RθJA = 140.1°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | No internal connection - must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practices; no electrical function |
| 2 | Inverting input (−In) | Differential input node accepting signals down to −0.1 V and up to (V+) + 0.1 V; protected by clamping diodes |
| 3 | Noninverting input (+In) | Differential input node with identical rail-to-rail common-mode range as Pin 2; bias current ≤10 pA |
| 4 | Negative supply (V−) | Ground reference for single-supply operation; supports operation with V− at 0 V (not negative voltage) |
| 5 | NC | No internal connection - electrically isolated; no routing or termination required |
| 6 | Output | Class AB rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing/sinking ±40 mA; swings to within 10 mV of V− or V+ under 10-kΩ load |
| 7 | Positive supply (V+) | Single-supply input accepting 2.7–5.5 V; bypassing with 0.01 µF ceramic capacitor to V− is mandatory for stability |
| 8 | NC | No internal connection - unused pad; may be grounded for mechanical reinforcement but has no electrical role |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input | Common-mode range extends −0.1 V to (V+) + 0.1 V - eliminates need for level-shifting in single-supply data acquisition front-ends |
| Rail-to-rail output | Swings within 10 mV of V+ and V− with 10-kΩ load - preserves >99% of available voltage headroom in 3.3 V systems |
| Low THD+N | 0.0006% at 1 kHz - enables direct coupling into 12-bit+ ADCs without post-amplifier distortion correction |
| 75-Ω video drive | Validated 75-Ω load capability per NTSC test conditions - supports composite video buffering without external emitter-follower stages |
| Unity-gain stable | No external compensation required - simplifies PCB layout for gain-of-1 buffers in high-speed signal chains |
| MicroSize packages | SOIC-8 footprint compatible with MSOP-8 and PDIP-8 variants - allows drop-in replacement across form factors |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar operational amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA350DGK | VSSOP-8 package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm), 169.2°C/W RθJA vs SOIC-8's 140.1°C/W - higher thermal resistance requires derating above 3.5 mA quiescent current | Used where board area is constrained; not suitable for high-power-density layouts without thermal relief | Select OPA350DGK only when PCB real estate savings outweigh thermal performance trade-offs in ambient ≤60°C environments |
| OPA2350PA | Dual-channel version in same SOIC-8 package; identical per-channel specs but shares supply pins - increases channel count without doubling footprint | Preferred for dual-signal paths (e.g., stereo audio, differential sensor pairs) where inter-channel crosstalk <0.15 µV/V is acceptable | Choose OPA2350PA when two matched amplifiers are needed and board space is limited; verify supply decoupling suffices for both channels |
Compared with OPA350DGK and OPA2350PA, the OPA350PA offers optimal thermal performance in standard SOIC-8 layout, making it preferred for continuous high-speed operation in industrial temperature ranges without thermal derating.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the OPA350PA?
The OPA350PA is specified from −40°C to +85°C for reliable operation, with extended functionality validated from −55°C to +150°C. This wide range supports deployment in automotive engine compartments and industrial motor control enclosures where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits. The SOIC-8 package's thermal metrics ensure stable performance within these bounds when proper PCB copper pour and decoupling are applied.
Can the OPA350PA drive a 600-Ω load effectively?
Yes, the OPA350PA is characterized to drive 600-Ω loads with VO = 2.5 VPP while maintaining 0.0006% THD+N at 1 kHz. Its class AB output stage delivers ±40 mA output current, enabling full rail-to-rail swing even under this heavy load condition. TI's datasheet confirms performance with 600-Ω terminations in video applications, including differential gain/phase testing per NTSC standards.
Does the OPA350PA require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA350PA is internally compensated for unity-gain stability and requires no external components to operate stably at G = 1. Its design maintains ≥45° phase margin with 100-pF capacitive loads in unity-gain configuration, as verified in Figure 21 of the SBOS099D datasheet. This eliminates risk of oscillation in simple buffer implementations common in sensor front-ends and ADC drivers.
What is the input common-mode voltage range of the OPA350PA?
The OPA350PA supports an input common-mode voltage range from −0.1 V to (V+) + 0.1 V - extending 100 mV beyond both supply rails. This rail-to-rail input capability is achieved via parallel N- and P-channel input stages, allowing direct interfacing with sensors or DACs that output near-ground or near-V+ voltages without level-shifting circuitry.
How does the OPA350PA handle input signals exceeding the supply rails?
Input terminals of the OPA350PA are diode-clamped to the supply rails; signals exceeding (V−) − 0.3 V or (V+) + 0.3 V will forward-bias these clamps. To prevent damage, input current must be limited to ≤10 mA using series resistors - a requirement explicitly stated in Section 6.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings. TI provides guidance on resistor sizing in Figure 27 of the datasheet.
