Product details
Overview
OPA3691IDBQR from Texas Instruments is a triple-channel, current-feedback operational amplifier optimized for wideband video, ADC buffering, and high-speed imaging applications. It delivers 280MHz unity-gain bandwidth, 2100V/µs slew rate, ±4.0V output swing (±5V supply), 190mA output current per channel, and 5.1mA/ch quiescent current - enabling RGB line driving and single-supply +5V ADC input conditioning with minimal headroom.
For engineers reviewing the OPA3691IDBQR datasheet, OPA3691IDBQR pinout, OPA3691IDBQR application, or OPA3691IDBQR equivalent, this page provides verified electrical specifications, SSOP-16 package details, disable-control timing behavior, thermal derating guidance, and validated alternatives for high-frequency analog signal path design.
Technical Context
The OPA3691IDBQR employs a current-feedback architecture with transimpedance gain (ZOL) of 225kΩ (±5V), enabling bandwidth stability across gains - 280MHz at G = +1, 225MHz at G = +2, and 210MHz at G = +5. Its output stage supports rail-to-rail-capable swing (±4.0V) with <1V headroom on ±5V supplies and delivers >160mA sourcing/sinking into 100Ω loads while maintaining low crossover distortion.
Each channel integrates an independent disable control (DIS A/B/C) that reduces supply current to <150µA/ch when pulled LOW, with 25ns enable time and 400ns disable time. The device operates over –40°C to +85°C, features 100°C/W θJA in SSOP-16, and maintains <0.17% differential gain / 0.07° differential phase error in NTSC video signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Small-Signal Bandwidth (G = +1) | 280MHz - enables stable unity-gain video amplification without peaking beyond 0.2dB. |
| Slew Rate | 2100V/µs - supports clean 5VPP step response in <2ns with <12ns 0.02% settling. |
| Output Current (per channel) | ±190mA - drives 75Ω video lines or 100Ω ADC inputs with >3VPP swing on +5V supply. |
| Quiescent Current (3 ch) | 15.3mA max (±5V) - enables low-power portable instrumentation with disable control reducing to <450µA total. |
| Input Voltage Noise | 1.7nV/√Hz (>1MHz) - preserves SNR in broadband signal chains up to 200MHz. |
| Differential Gain/Phase | 0.07%/0.02° (NTSC, RL = 150Ω) - meets broadcast-grade video fidelity requirements. |
| Disable Control Threshold | Enable VIL ≤1.5V, VIH ≥3.3V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic for power-gating channels. |
Pinout & Package
OPA3691IDBQR is packaged in a 16-pin SSOP (DBQ) surface-mount package with 0.65mm pitch, 5.0mm × 6.2mm body size, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Thermal resistance θJA = 100°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (–IN A) | Inverting input, Channel A | Current-summing node for feedback network; requires matched impedance (e.g., 402Ω) for G = +2. |
| 2 (+IN A) | Noninverting input, Channel A | High-impedance input (100kΩ || 2pF); bias current ≤45µA ensures minimal DC offset in precision buffers. |
| 3 (DIS B) | Disable control, Channel B | Active-low logic input; pulls output to high-Z and cuts supply current to <150µA/ch when LOW. |
| 4 (–IN B) | Inverting input, Channel B | Independent current-feedback node; isolated from other channels to prevent crosstalk (<–80dBc). |
| 5 (+IN B) | Noninverting input, Channel B | DC-biased via external resistive divider in single-supply configurations (e.g., 806Ω to +5V/ground). |
| 6 (DIS C) | Disable control, Channel C | Enables independent power gating per channel; no internal pull-up - must be externally held HIGH for normal operation. |
| 7 (–IN C) | Inverting input, Channel C | Terminated to match source impedance (e.g., 75Ω for video) to minimize reflections up to 200MHz. |
| 8 (+IN C) | Noninverting input, Channel C | Used as common-mode reference point in ADC driver circuits (e.g., tied to ADS831 VCM pin). |
| 9 (DIS A) | Disable control, Channel A | Make-before-break timing prevents floating outputs during channel switching in RGB multiplexers. |
| 10 (+VS) | Positive supply | Accepts +5V to +12V single supply or ±2.5V to ±6V dual supply; decoupling with 0.1µF + 6.8µF required. |
| 11 (OUT A) | Output, Channel A | Capable of 190mA sourcing/sinking; closed-loop output impedance = 0.03Ω at 100kHz for low distortion into cables. |
| 12 (–VS) | Negative supply | Required for dual-supply operation; tied to ground for single +5V use (with proper biasing of inputs/outputs). |
| 13 (OUT B) | Output, Channel B | Drives independent load (e.g., green channel in RGB); maintains >190MHz bandwidth into 100Ω. |
| 14 (+VS) | Positive supply (redundant) | Second +VS pin improves power delivery integrity; must be connected to same net as Pin 10. |
| 15 (OUT C) | Output, Channel C | Supports simultaneous 3-channel high-speed acquisition (e.g., triple ADC front-end) with <10ps skew. |
| 16 (–VS) | Negative supply (redundant) | Second –VS pin enhances ground return path; must be connected to same net as Pin 12. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar wideband current-feedback amplifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| OPA3690IDBQR | Triple voltage-feedback op amp; 280MHz GBW but lower slew rate (1000V/µs), higher supply current (7.5mA/ch), no disable control. | Lacks per-channel shutdown; less suitable for power-constrained portable instruments or dynamic channel gating. | Select OPA3690IDBQR only if voltage-feedback topology is required for DC-coupled precision gain stages with lower noise floor. |
| OPA2691IDGKR | Dual-channel version; identical AC specs (280MHz, 2100V/µs) and disable control, but only two channels in 8-pin VSSOP. | Not suitable for triple-channel systems (e.g., RGB, 3-phase sensor interfaces); saves board space where only two channels needed. | Choose OPA2691IDGKR when system requires exactly two high-speed channels and PCB area is constrained. |
Compared with OPA3690IDBQR and OPA2691IDGKR, the OPA3691IDBQR uniquely combines triple-channel count, current-feedback bandwidth scalability, per-channel disable, and 5.1mA/ch efficiency - making it the only option for compact, power-aware, three-channel video or ADC front-ends.

FAQ
What supply voltages does the OPA3691IDBQR support?
The OPA3691IDBQR operates from ±2.5V to ±6V dual supply or +5V to +12V single supply. At ±5V, it delivers 280MHz bandwidth and ±4.0V output swing; on +5V, it achieves 190MHz bandwidth with 1V–4V output range. Minimum single-supply voltage is +4V, maximum is +12V - all specified over –40°C to +85°C.
How does the disable function work on the OPA3691IDBQR?
Each channel of the OPA3691IDBQR has a dedicated active-low disable pin (DIS A/B/C). Pulling any DIS pin LOW reduces its channel's supply current to <150µA while placing the output in high-impedance state. Enable time is 25ns, disable time is 400ns, and the feature uses make-before-break timing to prevent floating outputs during switching - critical in RGB multiplexers.
Can the OPA3691IDBQR drive 75Ω video cables directly?
Yes - the OPA3691IDBQR delivers ±190mA output current and features 0.03Ω closed-loop output impedance at 100kHz, enabling direct 75Ω cable driving. When configured with 82.5Ω series output resistors and proper termination, it achieves <0.17% differential gain and <0.07° differential phase error in NTSC signals, meeting broadcast video standards without external buffers.
What is the thermal performance of the OPA3691IDBQR in SSOP-16 package?
The OPA3691IDBQR in DBQ (SSOP-16) package has a thermal resistance θJA of 100°C/W. With 15.3mA max quiescent current (±5V) and 190mA max output current per channel, power dissipation must be managed via PCB copper area and optional thermal vias under the exposed pad (though not electrically connected). Derating is required above +70°C ambient per TI's thermal guidelines.
Is the OPA3691IDBQR suitable for driving ADC inputs in single-supply systems?
Yes - the OPA3691IDBQR is explicitly characterized for +5V single-supply operation, delivering >150MHz bandwidth with 3VPP output swing into 100Ω loads. Its input common-mode range extends to within 1.5V of either rail, and output swings from 1V to 4V, making it ideal for driving modern CMOS ADCs like the ADS831 that require 2VPP inputs centered at VCM.
