Product details
Overview
OPA3690IDBQT from Texas Instruments is a triple, wideband, voltage-feedback operational amplifier with individual disable control per channel, designed for high-fidelity video and high-speed analog signal conditioning. It delivers 220MHz small-signal bandwidth (G = +2), 1800V/µs slew rate, ±4.0V output swing on ±5V supplies, and 190mA output current - enabling RGB line driving, ADC input buffering, and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the OPA3690IDBQT datasheet, OPA3690IDBQT pinout, OPA3690IDBQT application, or OPA3690IDBQT equivalent, key selection criteria include its unity-gain stability, 3-channel independent disable capability, 5.5mA/ch quiescent current, low 5.5nV/√Hz input voltage noise, and SSOP-16 package compatibility with space-constrained high-speed layouts.
Technical Context
The OPA3690IDBQT employs a novel voltage-feedback architecture with a transconductance-based input stage that enables 1800V/µs slew rate while maintaining 5.5mA/ch supply current - diverging from conventional fixed-bias current-steering topologies. Its output stage supports rail-swing-limited sourcing/sinking up to ±190mA into 100Ω loads without crossover distortion.
Each of the three channels features an independent disable pin (DIS A/B/C) that reduces supply current to <300µA/ch and places the output in high-impedance state within 25ns enable time. The device operates from ±2.5V to ±6V dual supplies or +5V to +12V single supply, with input common-mode range extending to ±3.5V (±5V supply) and output swing to ±3.9V (no load).
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–IN A) | Inverting input, Channel A | Differential input node for first amplifier; requires matched impedance for optimal CMRR and distortion. |
| 2 (+IN A) | Non-inverting input, Channel A | Reference input for Channel A; bias current cancellation resistor recommended when used with source impedances >1kΩ. |
| 3 (DIS B) | Disable control, Channel B | Active-low logic input; pulls LOW to place Channel B output in high-Z and reduce supply current to <300µA. |
| 4 (–IN B) | Inverting input, Channel B | Independent differential input for second amplifier; electrically isolated from other channels. |
| 5 (+IN B) | Non-inverting input, Channel B | DC-biased input node for Channel B; compatible with ac-coupled or dc-coupled configurations. |
| 6 (DIS C) | Disable control, Channel C | Enables per-channel power management; no internal pull-up - must be externally pulled HIGH or tied to VS for operation. |
| 7 (–IN C) | Inverting input, Channel C | Third amplifier input; supports independent gain configuration (e.g., sync processing in RGB systems). |
| 8 (+IN C) | Non-inverting input, Channel C | Configurable reference point for Channel C; usable as summing node or buffered reference. |
| 9 (DIS A) | Disable control, Channel A | First channel disable; timing-critical applications require <25ns enable time for synchronized wake-up. |
| 10 (+VS) | Positive supply | Common positive rail for all three amplifiers; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling to ground. |
| 11 (OUT A) | Output, Channel A | High-current output capable of driving 75Ω loads directly; output capacitance in disable mode is 4pF. |
| 12 (–VS) | Negative supply | Common negative rail; connects to ground in single-supply +5V operation. |
| 13 (OUT B) | Output, Channel B | Independent output with identical drive strength and settling behavior as OUT A. |
| 14 (+VS) | Positive supply (redundant) | Second +VS connection for improved power distribution; must be connected to same net as Pin 10. |
| 15 (OUT C) | Output, Channel C | Third output; crosstalk to other channels is –64dBc at 5MHz - suitable for I/Q or multi-channel imaging paths. |
| 16 (–VS) | Negative supply (redundant) | Second –VS connection; required for thermal and EMI performance in SSOP-16 layout. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband op amp applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA2690DR | Dual-channel version; identical AC specs but lacks third channel and DIS C pin. | Not suitable for RGB or 3-channel synchronous systems; requires two devices for triple functionality. | Select OPA2690DR only when dual-channel operation suffices and board area allows two packages. |
| LMH6703MA | Single-channel, higher 1.8GHz GBW but lower output current (110mA); no disable function; higher 9.5nV/√Hz noise. | Requires three separate packages and external enable logic; unsuitable for low-power portable use. | Choose LMH6703MA only for ultra-wideband single-channel needs where noise and power are secondary to bandwidth. |
Compared with OPA2690DR and LMH6703MA, the OPA3690IDBQT uniquely integrates three independent wideband amplifiers with per-channel disable in one SSOP-16 package - reducing component count, PCB area, and power sequencing complexity in multi-channel video and instrumentation designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating supply voltage for the OPA3690IDBQT?
The OPA3690IDBQT supports a maximum dual-supply voltage of ±6.0V and a maximum single-supply voltage of +12V. Operation beyond these limits risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings. For reliable long-term performance, TI specifies ±5V or +5V as the standard operating condition - where all key parameters (e.g., 220MHz bandwidth, 1800V/µs slew rate) are characterized and guaranteed.
Does the OPA3690IDBQT require external compensation for unity-gain stability?
No, the OPA3690IDBQT is internally compensated for unity-gain stability across its full operating range. It achieves 220MHz bandwidth at G = +2 without external components, and remains stable down to G = +1. This eliminates the need for feedback capacitors or gain-setting resistors for stability - simplifying layout and improving repeatability in RGB driver and ADC buffer circuits.
How does the disable function affect output state and timing in the OPA3690IDBQT?
When the DIS pin for any channel is pulled LOW, that channel's output enters a high-impedance state and supply current drops to <300µA. Enable time is 25ns and disable time is 200ns (measured at VIN = 1VDC). Turn-on/off glitches are limited to ±50mV and ±20mV respectively - ensuring minimal disturbance to adjacent signal paths during power-state transitions in the OPA3690IDBQT.
Can the OPA3690IDBQT drive 75Ω video loads directly without external components?
Yes, the OPA3690IDBQT can directly drive 75Ω video loads with full performance. At G = +2 and ±5V supplies, it delivers ±3.9V output swing into 100Ω and maintains 0.06% differential gain / 0.01° differential phase error into 150Ω - meeting NTSC/PAL broadcast standards. For 75Ω, a series 43Ω resistor at the output (forming a 75Ω match) is recommended to minimize reflections while preserving bandwidth and settling behavior in the OPA3690IDBQT.
What is the input voltage noise density of the OPA3690IDBQT and how does it compare to similar wideband op amps?
The OPA3690IDBQT has a measured input voltage noise density of 5.5nV/√Hz above 1MHz - exceptionally low for a 220MHz op amp with 1800V/µs slew rate. This compares favorably to alternatives like the LMH6703 (9.5nV/√Hz) and OPA691 (7.9nV/√Hz), making the OPA3690IDBQT preferable in noise-sensitive applications such as medical imaging front-ends and high-resolution ADC drivers where op amp noise dominates system SNR.
