Product details
Overview
OPA357AIDBVRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-channel, rail-to-rail input/output CMOS operational amplifier optimized for high-speed video and precision analog signal conditioning. It delivers 250-MHz small-signal bandwidth, 150 V/µs slew rate, and 6.5 nV/√Hz input voltage noise, enabling use in 40-MHz 0.1-dB gain-flat video line drivers and photodiode transimpedance amplifiers.
For engineers reviewing the OPA357AIDBVRG4 datasheet, OPA357AIDBVRG4 pinout, OPA357AIDBVRG4 application, or OPA357AIDBVRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown-enabled power management (IQ < 6 µA), ±100 mA output drive into 75-Ω video loads, and operation from 2.5 V to 5.5 V single supply with thermal shutdown protection.
Technical Context
The OPA357AIDBVRG4 employs a complementary rail-to-rail input stage (N- and P-channel parallel pairs) extending common-mode range 100 mV beyond rails, and a Class AB rail-to-rail output stage delivering 100 mV from supply rails at 1-kΩ load. Its unity-gain stable architecture supports voltage-follower configurations without external compensation.
Shutdown is implemented via TTL-compatible Schmitt-trigger Enable pin with 100 ns turn-on and 30 ns turn-off times, forcing output into high-impedance state and reducing quiescent current to 3.4 µA. Thermal shutdown activates at 160°C junction temperature and resets at 140°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Unity-Gain Bandwidth | 250 MHz - enables stable +1-V/V follower operation for wideband signal buffering without peaking. |
| Slew Rate | 150 V/µs - supports distortion-free reproduction of fast 2-V step signals within 11 ns rise time (10%–90%). |
| Input Voltage Noise | 6.5 nV/√Hz at 1 MHz - preserves SNR in low-level sensor interfaces like photodiode transimpedance stages. |
| Rail-to-Rail I/O | VCM = (V−) −0.1 V to (V+) +0.1 V; VOUT swing = 0.1 V from rails - maximizes dynamic range in 2.5–5.5 V single-supply systems. |
| Shutdown IQ | < 6 µA - extends battery life in portable ultrasound or barcode scanner systems during idle periods. |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.02% / 0.09° at NTSC - meets broadcast video fidelity requirements for RGB or composite video line driving. |
| Output Current | ±100 mA continuous - drives back-terminated 75-Ω coaxial cables directly without external buffers. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23-6 package (2.90 mm × 1.60 mm body size) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement; rated for −40°C to +125°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Out (Pin 1) | Amplifier output | Class AB rail-to-rail stage capable of ±100 mA drive; high-impedance when Enable = low. |
| V− (Pin 2) | Negative supply | Ground reference for single-supply operation; common return for bias and load currents. |
| +In (Pin 3) | Noninverting input | High-impedance CMOS node (10¹³ Ω || 2 pF); accepts signals up to (V−) −0.1 V and (V+) +0.1 V. |
| −In (Pin 4) | Inverting input | High-impedance CMOS node; used for feedback networks and transimpedance configurations. |
| Enable (Pin 5) | Shutdown control | TTL-compatible Schmitt trigger input; low = disabled (3.4 µA IQ), high = active (4.9 mA IQ). |
| V+ (Pin 6) | Positive supply | Accepts 2.5 V to 5.5 V; powers internal bias, input stage, and output driver. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail input stage | Extends common-mode range 100 mV beyond supplies using parallel N/P-channel differential pairs, enabling direct interface with ADCs/DACs near rail voltages. |
| Video-optimized performance | 0.02% differential gain and 0.09° differential phase error at NTSC frequencies ensure broadcast-grade color fidelity in RGB or composite video drivers. |
| Fast enable/disable timing | 100 ns turn-on and 30 ns turn-off allow precise gating of video bursts or multiplexing onto shared signal buses without glitches. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Automatically disables amplifier at 160°C junction temperature and restores operation at 140°C, preventing permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking. |
| Low input bias current | 3 pA typical - minimizes offset drift and leakage errors in high-impedance photodiode or precision filter applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA354AIDBVR | No shutdown function; 250-MHz GBW, same SOT-23-6 package, but 4.9 mA fixed IQ. | Preferred where always-on operation is acceptable and board space precludes adding external enable logic. | Select OPA354AIDBVR only if shutdown capability is unnecessary and lower standby power is not required. |
| OPA355AIDBVR | 200-MHz GBW, rail-to-rail output only (not input), 3.4 µA shutdown IQ, same package. | Better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-bandwidth video or DAC output buffering where input rail-to-rail is not critical. | Choose OPA355AIDBVR when 200-MHz bandwidth suffices and input common-mode range beyond rails is not needed. |
Compared with OPA354AIDBVR and OPA355AIDBVR, the OPA357AIDBVRG4 uniquely combines full rail-to-rail input/output, 250-MHz bandwidth, and sub-6-µA shutdown current-making it optimal for battery-powered, high-fidelity video and optical sensing where dynamic power control and maximum signal swing are essential.

FAQ
What is the operating supply voltage range for the OPA357AIDBVRG4?
The OPA357AIDBVRG4 operates from a single supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V, or dual supplies of ±1.25 V to ±2.75 V. Absolute maximum supply voltage is 7.5 V (V+ to V−). Operation below 2.5 V is not specified and may result in degraded bandwidth, slew rate, or output swing. The device maintains rail-to-rail I/O functionality across this full range, with common-mode input extending 100 mV beyond the rails.
Does the OPA357AIDBVRG4 support rail-to-rail input and output simultaneously?
Yes, the OPA357AIDBVRG4 supports true rail-to-rail input and output concurrently. Its complementary input stage allows common-mode voltage from (V−) −0.1 V to (V+) +0.1 V, and its Class AB output stage delivers swing within 100 mV of both rails under 1-kΩ load. This enables full dynamic range utilization in single-supply systems such as portable video equipment and battery-powered sensors, where maximizing signal headroom is critical.
How does the Enable pin function on the OPA357AIDBVRG4?
The Enable pin (Pin 5) on the OPA357AIDBVRG4 is a TTL-compatible Schmitt-trigger input that controls amplifier power state. A logic high (≥2 V referenced to V−) enables normal operation with 4.9 mA quiescent current; a logic low (≤0.8 V) disables the amplifier, reducing IQ to 3.4 µA and placing the output in high-impedance state. Turn-on time is 100 ns and turn-off time is 30 ns, supporting precise gating in time-critical applications like burst-mode ultrasound or video blanking.
What video performance metrics does the OPA357AIDBVRG4 achieve?
The OPA357AIDBVRG4 achieves NTSC-compliant video performance: 0.02% differential gain error and 0.09° differential phase error into 150-Ω load, with 0.1-dB gain flatness to 40 MHz. These metrics are measured under standard video conditions and confirm suitability for RGB cable drivers, composite video line drivers, and broadcast-quality signal distribution where color fidelity and timing accuracy are essential.
Can the OPA357AIDBVRG4 drive 75-Ω video cables directly?
Yes, the OPA357AIDBVRG4 can drive 75-Ω video cables directly when configured in a back-terminated topology. Its ±100 mA continuous output current and rail-to-rail output swing allow it to deliver full-swing video signals into 75-Ω loads without external buffers. TI's reference design (Figure 35) confirms stable operation with 75-Ω back-termination, eliminating reflections and preserving signal integrity up to 40 MHz without requiring additional AC-coupling or level-shifting components.
