Product details
Overview
OPA361AIDCKRG4 from Texas Instruments is a single-supply, rail-to-rail output video amplifier optimized for 2.5V–3.3V portable video systems. It integrates fixed gain (5.2V/V), a 2-pole 9MHz reconstruction filter, DC-coupled input/output, internal level shift to prevent sync-tip clipping, and TV-detection support - enabling automatic video start/stop in OMAP242x- and DaVinci-based camera phones.
For engineers reviewing the OPA361AIDCKRG4 datasheet, OPA361AIDCKRG4 pinout, OPA361AIDCKRG4 application, or OPA361AIDCKRG4 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.2V/V gain accuracy over temperature, −40°C to +125°C operation, SC70-6 footprint compatibility, shutdown current <1.5µA, and integrated 500Ω/4kΩ resistor network for OMAP242x interface.
Technical Context
The OPA361AIDCKRG4 implements a Sallen-Key 2-pole filter with 9MHz −3dB cutoff, designed to suppress DAC sampling aliases (e.g., 54MHz attenuation ≥23dB) while preserving color bar fidelity and multiburst flatness. Its internal level-shift circuit offsets the output by ~11mV (typ.) to avoid saturation at 0V sync tip, enabling true DC-coupled video paths without external capacitors.
TV-detection functionality operates via controlled shutdown during vertical sync pulses: the output is briefly disabled, and a pull-up resistor on the output reveals load presence (LOW = TV connected). This logic-level-compatible enable pin accepts 1.8V CMOS thresholds (HIGH >1.3V, LOW <0.35V) and features 1.5µs turn-on/50ns turn-off timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V to 3.3V - enables direct integration with OMAP242x VAUX rails and eliminates need for voltage translation. |
| Fixed Gain | 5.2V/V (±0.12V/V max deviation) - internally set via matched 500Ω/4kΩ resistors, ensuring stable gain across −40°C to +125°C. |
| Filter Cutoff | 9MHz - suppresses 54MHz DAC sampling artifacts while preserving luminance/chrominance integrity in NTSC/PAL signals. |
| Output Swing | Rail-to-rail: within 5mV of GND and 250mV of V+ into 150Ω - supports full-swing video signal delivery without clipping. |
| Quiescent Current | 5.3mA (enabled), <1.5µA (shutdown) - extends battery life in intermittent video transmission use cases like camera phones. |
| Input Range | GND to 0.55V (at 3.3V supply) - allows direct DC coupling from 0.4–0.5VPP video DAC outputs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Package | SC70-6 (2.0mm × 2.1mm) - ultra-compact footprint ideal for space-constrained mobile PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
OPA361AIDCKRG4 is housed in a 6-pin SC70 package (JEDEC MO-203 AB), measuring 2.0mm × 2.1mm × 1.1mm max height, with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant NiPdAu finish (MSL Level-2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: V+ | Positive supply rail | Accepts 2.5V–3.3V; requires local 100nF ceramic bypass to GND for stability. |
| 2: Enable | Shutdown control input | CMOS-compatible logic: HIGH (>1.3V) enables amplifier; LOW (<0.35V) disables output and reduces IQ to <1.5µA. |
| 3: Out | Amplified video output | DC-coupled, rail-to-rail; drives 75Ω/150Ω back-terminated loads directly; used for TV-detect sensing when disabled. |
| 4: +In | Inverting input | DC-coupled video input node; common-mode range includes GND, enabling direct connection to 0.5VPP DAC outputs. |
| 5: GND | Analog ground reference | Return path for supply, input, and internal level-shift circuitry; must be low-impedance and separated from digital ground. |
| 6: RSET | Internal feedback resistor terminal | Connects to internal 4kΩ resistor; forms gain-setting network with 500Ω input resistor - no external components required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 2-pole reconstruction filter | 9MHz cutoff preserves video bandwidth while attenuating 54MHz DAC aliases by ≥23dB - eliminates need for external RC filters. |
| DC-coupled input and output | Eliminates AC-coupling capacitors on both sides, reducing BOM count, board area, and potential low-frequency distortion in sync-tip handling. |
| Internal level-shift circuit | Offsets output ~11mV (typ.) to prevent saturation at 0V sync tip - ensures undistorted composite video waveform integrity. |
| TV-detection support | Enables automated video start/stop via GPIO monitoring of output voltage during brief shutdown pulses - simplifies user interface design. |
| Matched internal resistor network | 500Ω input shunt + 4kΩ RSET provide precise 5.2V/V gain with <0.5% ratio tracking over temperature - improves system gain stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar video amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA360AIDCKR | Same SC70-6 package, but G = 2V/V, no TV-detection, and no internal level shift - requires external sync-tip restoration. | Limited to non-TV-detect systems where lower gain suffices and external level-shifting is acceptable. | Select OPA360AIDCKR only if gain of 2V/V matches DAC output amplitude and TV-detection automation is unnecessary. |
| OPA358AIDCKR | 70MHz bandwidth, 6mA IQ, 5µA shutdown, but lacks integrated filter, level shift, and TV-detection - requires full external component set. | Suitable for higher-bandwidth applications beyond 9MHz (e.g., VGA or SVGA), but increases layout complexity and BOM cost. | Choose OPA358AIDCKR when video bandwidth exceeds 9MHz and design flexibility justifies added external passives and control logic. |
Compared with OPA361AIDCKRG4, OPA360AIDCKR offers lower gain and no TV-detection, making it less suitable for OMAP242x integration; OPA358AIDCKR provides wider bandwidth but demands external filtering and level-shifting, increasing design effort and board area.

FAQ
What is the exact gain value of the OPA361AIDCKRG4 and how stable is it over temperature?
The OPA361AIDCKRG4 has a precisely trimmed internal gain of 5.2V/V, with typical variation of ±0.11V/V (5.06–5.28V/V) across −40°C to +125°C. This stability is achieved through matched on-die 500Ω and 4kΩ resistors whose ratio tracks within 0.5% over temperature - critical for consistent video amplitude in camera phone applications.
Does the OPA361AIDCKRG4 require external capacitors for DC-coupled video operation?
No, the OPA361AIDCKRG4 does not require external coupling capacitors. Its DC-coupled input accepts GND-referenced video signals (e.g., 0.5VPP from OMAP242x DAC), and its internal level-shift circuit prevents sync-tip clipping - enabling direct connection to 75Ω/150Ω video loads without AC-blocking components.
How does the TV-detection feature work in the OPA361AIDCKRG4?
The OPA361AIDCKRG4 implements TV-detection by briefly disabling its output during the first vertical sync pulse. A pull-up resistor on the Out pin pulls the line HIGH if no load is present, or LOW if a 75Ω TV load is connected. The host processor reads this state via GPIO to auto-enable video transmission - a function fully supported in OMAP242x and DaVinci platforms.
What is the maximum operating temperature range specified for the OPA361AIDCKRG4?
The OPA361AIDCKRG4 is fully specified from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Electrical parameters including gain, output swing, and quiescent current are guaranteed across this range, and thermal resistance (θJA) is 250°C/W in the SC70-6 package - enabling reliable deployment in thermally demanding portable and industrial environments.
Is the OPA361AIDCKRG4 pin-compatible with other members of the OPA36x family?
Yes, the OPA361AIDCKRG4 shares the same SC70-6 (DCK) package and pinout with OPA360AIDCKR and OPA358AIDCKR. However, functional differences exist: OPA360 uses G = 2V/V and lacks TV-detection; OPA358 offers higher bandwidth but no integrated filter or level shift - so pin compatibility does not imply drop-in replacement without circuit review.
